Is IIT Jammu safe for students?

Monique Ghosedas

06 Jul 21

Jammu is a very beautiful place and it is completely safe for students and for the people living there. Yes, we do hear some news about violence, attacks, instability but all these happen in Kashmir, near the border area which is very far away from Jammu.

There is a lot of confusion between the people due to lack of media coverage and they think that Jammu is a part of Kashmir but it is not the truth and Jammu is a different city and it is safe for everyone.

It has been more than 25 years almost since any unusual activity happened in Jammu and this states that it is a much safer city. People roam around anytime in the city and its streets are always busy. IIT Jammu is situated in the outskirts of the city Jammu and it is around 300 kilometers away from Kashmir.

Hence, Jammu is a very safe city and IIT Jammu is a completely safe place to study. The campus is very beautiful with amazing scenic spots and you can study peacefully over there.

Should I pursue electrical engineering at IIT Jammu or geophysics at IIT Kharagpur?

Ankita Sinha

27 Mar 23

I will highly recommend you against joining IIT Jammu as it lacks the necessary academic environment and facilities required for a rich Engineering course. My aunt is not only a graduate of IIT Kharagpur (Applied Geology) but also is currently working for Schlumberger in the Middle East.

IIT Kharagpur Geophysics is a good option only if you are interested in the field or have no other option. Honestly, the demand for Geophysics is gradually deteriorating and in the upcoming future, it will generate very less revenue and jobs in the oil industry. This definitely does not mean it lacks lucrative opportunities. Someone who is genuinely passionate about Geophysics will always choose this over other branches.

This course comes with excellent exchange opportunities that will allow you to travel during your five years at IIT Kharagpur.
Geophysics offers great opportunities to apply numerical, quantitative, and computational methods to geological investigations.
IIT KGP focuses on holistic development and thus has a rich extracurricular culture that helps develop bonds between students of different branches.

This program is not for everyone but it can be the dream branch for some.

How do IIM and IIT students from Jammu (J & K) study in a conflict environment? Do their parents allow them to study there?

Deepesh Agarwal

02 Jan 23

Unlike the general misconception, Jammu is as safe as any other city in India. Only Kashmir is inflicted by riots and has a conflict environment. My sister had no doubts when she made the decision to pursue MBA from IIM Jammu. In fact, even our parents did not worry about her relentlessly.

As a part, a little concern on their part is justified. But if the riots and conflicts are the reason your parents can rest assured as Jammu is a very safe city.

Moreover, IITs and IIMs are institutes of great national importance. Hence strict regulations are imposed to maintain safety within the campus.

Which one is better for pursuing engineering in India, IIIT Allahabad, IIIT Delhi, NIT Kurukshetra, DTU, or IIT Jammu?

Sagar Agrawal

29 Jun 21

If you want to go to a technical branch then Delhi Technological University (DTU) should be your first choice.

DTU has a good placement record, over 300 companies come for recruitment. Its research facility is also good.
IIIT Allahabad has a good coding culture where over 110 companies come for campus placement.
NIT Kurukshetra has a better placement record than IIT Jammu but IIT Jammu has a name tag with it.

In the following table, you will get basic information about IIIT Allahabad, IIIT Delhi, NIT Kurukshetra, DTU, and IIT Jammu.

Category	IIIT Allahabad	IIIT Delhi	NIT Kurukshetra	DTU	IIT Jammu
Average CTC	INR 9-12 LPA	INR 15 LPA	INR 10 LPA	INR 11.17 LPA	INR 12.2 LPA
Highest CTC	INR 39 LPA	INR 31 LPA	INR 30 LPA	INR 43 LPA	INR 40 LPA

Therefore, if you have a choice between IIIT Allahabad, IIIT Delhi, NIT Kurukshetra, DTU, and IIT Jammu then DTU is the best option. IIIT Allahabad and Delhi have good placement too. It is on you which institute you choose for your study.

Which is better for CSE among IIT Goa, IIT dharwad, IIT Jammu?

Ashmita Roy

20 May 22

All three of these IITs are new and offer similar academics for CSE. IIT Dharwad and IIT Goa are under the mentorship of IIT Bombay. While IIT Jammu is under the mentorship of IIT Delhi. So, you will get to learn from some of the best faculties in the field.

In terms of placements, IIT Jammu is a little ahead. During IIT Jammu placements 2022, the average package for B.Tech CSE stood around INR 21 LPA.
