How is metallurgy at iit roorkee?
Here are a few aspects through which the credibility of the Metallurgy branch at IIT Roorkee can be discussed
Institute: You will find a diverse peer group of geniuses that will add to your learning experience. Additionally, the campus is located in a beautiful area, and there are many resources available to help students adjust to college life. It’s the best option after IIT B, D, K or Kgp and of course, IISc.
Curriculum: The curriculum of Metallurgy is poor with no diverse approach. The topics covered are taught and studied through rote memorization and no practical application is done. Very few material courses are taught. The fact that only one core job offer was made recently that too by a small steel industry, is enough to determine its credibility. The majority of the batch ends up in IT or Analytics. If you are serious about Material, I suggest going for a Master, that too outside India.
People in the department: Everyone including the staff, professors, and students is very laid back and least interested in anything in general. The staff and professors pay no heed to the complaints lodged by students and the students especially seniors are equally dumb and lack even basic knowledge.
Job prospects: The only way to get a job for students of this department is to learn to code, or else you will remain unplaced. You can also go for GATE, CAT, MS, or Ph.D. Some students even start preparing for Government exams like UPSC, SSC, etc.
My advice to you would be to go for Metallurgy only if you are genuinely interested and want to get MS. A decent CGPA might help you fetch a few company tests and interviews but no jobs. Irrespective of it all, IIT Roorkee does offer an excellent college life experience and if you have no better choice, then go for Metallurgy and prepare yourself well for the consequences.
How are metallurgy placements at IIT Madras?
The Department of Metallurgical and Materials Engineering is one of the oldest having been started in the same year as the Institute. Its teaching, research, and consultancy activities spread across various fields ranging from conventional metallurgy to frontiers of materials science.
However, IIT Madras lacks core companies for every branch for placements. The same is the case with the Metallurgy department. Students should be encouraged from the beginning of their course for placements. In the worst-case scenario, only a single student gets placed in a core company.
The average salary package offered was barely INR 6 LPA.
The placements for the core jobs are concerned, chances are rare as the number of roles offered is very less. However, there are numerous non-core job opportunities offered in Metallurgy.
How is the metallurgical engineering and materials science programme at IIT Bombay compared to the other programmes?
Material Science and Metallurgical Engineering (MEMS) is a highly funded branch in IIT Bombay, and it's a misconception that it's not a good branch just because its cutoffs are high. In fact, Material Science is the most demanded branch at MIT. However, it's essential to note that each branch is unique in its way, and the only thing that matters is your interest.
MEMS teaches engineering aspects of metals, their properties, and engineering problems faced while extracting them, while material science focuses on customizing materials according to your needs. Materials play an essential role in various processes, and you need to alter properties like viscosity, strength, hardness, resistance to temperature, etc. Material science plays a crucial role in developing such materials.
The branch you choose does not determine your success; it's your commitment and passion toward that branch that matters. So, choose a branch based on your interest and passion, not just packages, to excel in it.
How good is the civil and metallurgical engineering at MSU Baroda in terms of placements and curriculum?
Curriculum
The civil engineering department of MSU is one of the best in Gujarat. The professors are experienced and come to the classes regularly. You will also find some PhD level professors here.
The ME in Chemical Engineering is a 4 year full time course with 155 seats available this year.
Placements
The placements here are quite good compared to other colleges in Gujarat. 22 students were placed last year. The highest package offered last year was 8 LPA, the average package was 4-5 LPA, and the lowest package was 2.5-3 LPA. The top recruiting companies are
- L&T
- Reliance
- Torrent
- ABB
As far as the metallurgy department is concerned, it’s difficult to get a good percentage but the curriculum is decent.
Should I take partial drop (NIT + coaching) for the next year JEE by taking textile or metallurgy department in NIT Jalandhar? Or should I join Thapar Electronics?
I don't think any of the options stated above are worth it. They will consume more time, and cost you a lot of money and effort. So rather than partial drop, I recommend you only drop the year and fully concentrate on the JEE syllabus. Now you have JEE exams and NEET twice a year which gives you more chances of cracking it. I have listed 4 probabilities and their possible consequences:
-
Not dropping a year and studying in an NIT and preparing for JEE along with it and not being able to crack it is Waste of time and an excessive study load.
-
Studying in an NIT and preparing for JEE along and cracking it: Only a waste of money
-
Fully dropping a year and concentrating entirely only on JEE and not being able to crack it is Waste of time but you are lucky enough to give a second shot the same year.
-
Dropping a year, fully concentrating on cracking the JEE exams, and cracking it: Your time and efforts are well invested.
The ultimate choice is yours. But dropping a year is better than a partial drop I guess.
How is metallurgy in NIT AP Tadepalligudem?
My brother recently got enrolled at NIT AP and as per his experience, the department's faculty is amiable and supportive. You'll face absolutely no issues with the theoretical part of the department.
Being a new institute, the students are visiting other local colleges for practicals and laboratories. Most of them visited NIT Warangal which gave them good exposure to ultra-modern infrastructure. Currently, there are only basic laboratories and construction is ongoing for the development of the same. The administrative authority is supportive and cooperative.
NIT AP is full of opportunities and the branch would yield better results if you choose to study in one of the top-5 NITs. You can be in touch with a student of the college, which will help you with an in-depth understanding.
