Which is better, IIT Madras mechanical or IIT BHU electronic engineering?

SD
Shweta Das Posted On : March 28th, 2023
Indian Institute of Technology, Madras (2019)

Both are decent options but which one is good for you depends on your interests only. In fact, whoever is going to answer this question, will be driven by his own interests and thus there is no objective answer to your question. Choose the branch that appeals to you the most, be it EE or ME.

Just bear in mind that while analyzing, placements should not be the major criteria for your judgment. You should consider versatile factors like the campus life the Institute offers, alumni network, faculty pool, etc. Don’t limit yourself to good packages and seek much more.

The best way to decipher which branch is better is to interact with seniors of both institutes belonging to the respective branches. Enquire about the opportunities, exposure, and other things that cannot be known from statistics. Only after weighing the opinions of both the parties, should you reach a conclusion that satisfies you the most.

Which is better IT in IIIT Allahabad or Industrial Chemistry in IIT BHU or Civil in new IIT?

RS
Raunak Sharma Posted On : July 2nd, 2021
Dual Degree from Indian Institute of Technology Varanasi (2018)

Choosing streams like Industrial Chemistry can be tricky. Generally, students don’t even understand the scope of the basic courses, let alone a specialized course like chemistry. Don’t go for such a course if you are not well-informed about the career prospect.

If you are interested in civil engineering then don't waste time and apply to the new IITs. It is difficult to decide whether you are interested in a particular field. To find out you can get in contact with Civil Engineering graduates from good universities. Ask about their nature of work and growth in the field, etc. See if that sparks your interest. Also, you will have the option to go for GATE and appear in IES.

How are placements for Pharmaceutical Engg. at IIT BHU?

AK
Anindita Kundu Posted On : April 21st, 2021
Btech from Indian Institute of Technology Varanasi (2021)

The placements of Pharmaceutical Engineering at IIT BHU are presently not considered to be excellent but are at a growing phase. There are several reasons which lead to the not-so-satisfactory placement of Pharmaceutical Engineering, and some of them are listed in the key highlights. The table below gives a brief overview of Pharmaceutical Engineering at IIT BHU.

Categories

IIT BHU

NIRF ’20 Ranking

11

Total Fees

Rs. 8.62 Lakhs

Median Salary Offered

Rs. 13.6 LPA

Total Number of Seats

80

Cut-off (JEE Advanced)

11691

Key Highlights:

  • Just a few years back, the department of Pharmaceutical Engineering was called B.Pharm. This is one of the reasons why several companies can’t recognize the stream, and so didn’t open their recruitment procedure for the department to date.
  • Slowly with time, there are companies who have started recruiting students from Pharmaceutical Engineering, which is evident by the fact that there are new names every year in the list of companies who have visited the campus for placement.
  • Among all other sectors, the Pharmaceutical industry stands second among the fastest growing industries in the world.
  • In the Pharmaceutical industry, there is immense scope for research-oriented works. So, most students are hired by organizations offering research profiles, and very few corporate jobs are seen to be offered to students.

This is the overall placement scenario of Pharmaceutical Engineering at IIT BHU, which is not very good in quality and quantity, but is increasing with time and according to market demands.

Which is a better option: IIT Guwahati CSE, IIT BHU CSE, IIT Bombay mech or IIT Kharagpur electrical and electronics communication?

AB
Aditi Banerjee Posted On : March 27th, 2023
Lives in Bangalore

I assume that you haven’t decided on a specific branch and hence you have multiple options open from different institutes and branches. Before I give you my suggestion it’s important to know that most non-CS students at IIT Bombay and IIT Kharagpur try to get a job in CS only. For this, they learn programming and sit for non-core placements. 

For the same reason, I am recommending you join either BHU or Guwahati (CSE).

  • BHU is known for its elaborate and old alumni base leading to better placements whereas Guwahati speaks highly of its infrastructure.
  • BHU has much better connectivity owing to its city locations whereas Guwahati is situated outside the city.
  • Guwahati has a larger faculty pool than BHU

In the end unless you are a North-Eastern, BHU is the best option for you. Either way you are good to go and thus can make a decision that suits your location.

The highest package for 2022-2023 placements was reported to be INR 1.2 CPA with top companies like Microsoft Google, and Facebook visiting the campus to hire for their Seattle/California office. Most reputed companies in India pay a visit to IIT BHU and sometimes offer more than one offer to each student. Some students even have PPOs way before the placement season begins. If placements are your concern you can rest assured as the CSE branch at IIT BHU offers the best packages in top companies. Some top recruiters include

  • Rakuten
  • Uber
  • Zeta
  • Microsoft SWE
  • Oracle

Additionally, it would be important to consider your personal interests, career goals, and other factors when making this decision.

Should I choose NIT Calicut CSE or IIT BHU chemical Engineering?

SB
Sumit Barua Posted On : August 27th, 2021
B.Tech from Jadavpur University (2021)

If you are interested in coding and aim to work in good corporate firms, then it is suggested that you go for CSE at NIT Calicut. But if you want an IIT tag, you can opt for IIT BHU. But this won't matter much afterward.

So, if you are focused on doing research then Chemical Engineering at IIT BHU will be a good option. You can also learn coding on the sidelines, which might be beneficial if you sit for placements.

Parametres CSE at NIT Calicut Chemical Engineering at IIT BHU
Tuition Fee INR 16,000 INR 6.7 LPA
Placement Percentage 73.5% 71%
Average Package INR 11.57 LPA INR 16.27 LPA

The choice of studying in a college pursuing a particular subject is entirely up to you. Check where your strengths and weaknesses lie and then choose accordingly. Both institutes are good in their own way. But it is your hard work and dedication that will prove if CSE or Chemical will be good for you.
