The choice should be based on the branch you are interested in. Among all the branches mentioned in the question, Electronics is the one highly ranked concerning the opportunities available in the industry. Also, Electronics is the most sought branch in IIT BHU along with CSE. According to 2019 placement statistics out of 100 students from the electronics engineering branch, 88 got placed.

Mechanical Engineering ranks a bit low in IIT BHU in comparison to Electronics. Though Mechanical Engineers find several opportunities in the form of PSUs and government organizations in India. In 2019 placement drive 109 students from the mechanical engineering department got placed. The average CTC offered in IIT BHU was around 8.19 lakhs.

Aerospace engineers in India have very limited opportunities after graduation Aerospace Engineering department at IIT Madras has good opportunities and exposure in comparison to many institutes in India. Hindustan Aeronautics Limited and Indian Space Research Organisation also hail from the southern part of India and this might help in the placement procedure though several students look for non- core opportunities or Masters in Design Engineering for a better future in India. When placements are concerned, IIT Madras has a slight edge over IIT Kanpur. As far as foreign universities are concerned, many students get summer internships abroad in the USA, Germany, Russia, France, and Italy from both the institutes. Many students go for MS and Ph.D. programs in esteemed Universities like the University of Maryland, Stanford University, Purdue University, etc. Though getting internships and foreign university admissions entirely depend on how hard one works irrespective of which IIT they belong to.

Which one is better: IIT Kanpur civil, IIT Guwahati or IIT BHU mechanical?

SG
Sohini Ghose Posted On : February 15th, 2022
studied at Indian Institute of Technology, Guwahati

If you are certain about your branch choice, then go for Civil at IIT Kanpur. If you aren’t sure about the branch then choosing IIT Kanpur among these three IITs will be better. In 2021, NIRF ranked IIT Kanpur #6 in the country. Although it’s not easy you can change your branch after a year. But you can’t change your college.

What should I take: IIT BHU Electronics or IIT Kanpur Chemical Engineering?

AS
Abhirup Singh Posted On : August 14th, 2020
Studied at Indian Institute of Technology Varanasi

If you are interested in a particular branch then go for that as IIT BHU and Kanpur both of these institutions are among the top institutions in India. Both the institutions are quite old, so they are up to the mark in the alumni network, placements, and internship, etc. But if you are not sure about the branch then consider the following points –

The department of Electronics Engineering at IIT BHU dates back to 1971 and equipped with good laboratory facilities. The faculties are well experienced. According to 2019 placement statistics, a total of 88 students got placed from Electronics Engineering. The average CTC offered at this IIT was around 8.19 lakhs/annum.

The department of Chemical Engineering in IIT Kanpur is considered among the best in the nation. If you are passionate about higher studies, research, or placement in government/ semi-government jobs (PSUs) then you can go for Chemical, but it has very few non-core placement opportunities. Chemical engineering provides more opportunities in higher studies and research. The average placement package offered at IIT Kanpur in 2019 was around 7.5 LPA.

What is better for mathematics and computing, IIT Kanpur vs IIT Kharagpur vs IIT Guwahati vs IIT BHU?

AB
Aditi Banerjee Posted On : March 30th, 2023
Lives in Bangalore

If you are interested in CSE but choosing Mathematics and Computing just for the sake of overlapping courses, then trust me you are making the wrong decision. I have seen many CSE branch seekers taking Mathematics and Computer to land CSE-related jobs. Let me tell you frankly, Mathematics and Computing are no substitutes for Computer Science.

If you want to get a deeper understanding of this, go through the Syllabus of Mathematics. You will find most courses that are theoretical, abstract, and purely mathematical and very few courses related to Computer Science. Mathematics at IITs is not everyone’s cup of tea. It is extremely tough, unlike JEE Math. 

However, if you are passionate about Mathematics and want to pursue a research career in it, go for it. The courses might include lengthy proofs of Mathematical Induction and set and relation theory. Discuss the curriculum once with students of Mathematics at IIT and then make the final decision. Usually, the coursework in Mathematics and Computing is the same for all the IIT Branches.

To sum it up, if you are planning to take Mathematics and Computers just for the CSE courses, please make a better decision. My best advice would be to go for CSE in a better engineering college like IIT Hyderabad or Indore.

Is the mechanical department of IIT (BHU) comparable to IIT-K?

RP
Rohan Pandey Posted On : August 13th, 2020
B.Tech. Electrical Engineering & Project ManagementIndian Institute of Technology Varanasi (2010)

Both IIT BHU as well as IITK are reputed IIT’s. 

The course curriculum at both colleges is nearly the same. In IIT BHU students can pursue courses other than academics such as Management, Foreign Languages, Finance, Personality Development as its part of BHU University. Academics at IITK is relatively tougher than IIT BHU with tough grading scheme. IIT BHU allows flexibility to its students so that they can manage both academics as well as learn extracurricular skills.  
Research culture at IITK is better than IIT BHU with more no. of research papers being published every year and more students doing Ph.D. in the College. While infrastructure and labs are equally good at both the colleges. Both IIT BHU and IITK has one of the best faculties compared to top institutions. 

Placements are roughly the same at both Colleges. IIT BHU being 100 Years old enjoys its vast alumni network due to which placement percentage is high. Students from both colleges get placed in well-known firms such as HUL, IOCL, GAIL, Maruti, Bajaj. Besides Core Engineering there are companies from other sectors like IT/Software, Consulting, Finance, Analytics, Management, etc. that offer jobs in both the Colleges. The average package of both the colleges is around 10-12 lacs CTC. 
For the course curriculum and more research work, IITK has an edge over IIT BHU for Mechanical Engineering.

Why is IIT Kanpur CS preferred over IIT Kharagpur and IIT Madras?

AT
Ayushi Tiwari Posted On : March 4th, 2021
IIT Kanpur (2019)

Firstly, let me make it clear that Kanpur, Delhi, and Mumbai are preferred over IIT Kharagpur and IIT Madras for almost every branch. The main reasons are as follows. 

Placements: The placements at IIT Kanpur are slightly better than Kharagpur.

Trend: While choosing an institute, students tend to choose an institute based on the past year’s trend. Since the campus placement record for the top 5 IITs remains the same over the past 5 years, students tend to go to these institutes. 

These are a few of the reasons why students prefer IIT Kanpur for CS over IIT KGP and IIT Madras.
