Bachelor of Technology [B.Tech] (Computer Science and Engineering) From IIT Bhubaneswar, Bhubaneswar

All mentioned institutes were founded in the year 2008 except IIT Indore which was founded one year later in 2009. Reputed companies such as Google, Microsoft, Facebook, Samsung, Cognizant, Amazon, Cisco, Flipkart offers jobs to students of these IITs. 

The CSE branch at IIT Indore is comparable to the CSE branch of older IITs. Also, it is the highest recruiting branch at IIT Indore and more than 98% of students were placed in 2019. According to last year’s placement record, the average package offered at this IIT was 16.06 LPA and the highest package was 43 LPA. 

IIT Patna has a hundred percent placement in the CSE branch with an average package of 16.76 LPA. The highest package received was around 40 LPA (on-campus). 

Similarly, IIT Bhubaneswar also holds a record of a hundred percent placement in the CSE branch with an overall average package of 11.44 LPA. The highest domestic CTC offered at this IIT in 2019 was around 39 LPA. 

The CSE batch at IIT Ropar received an average package of 13.83 LPA, up from 11.5 LPA. The highest package offered was 17.45 LPA in India and the highest international package was $125000 Per annum. 

In last year’s placement drive companies like Goldman Sachs and Nutanix offered 32 LPA, and 28 LPA respectively in IIT Gandhinagar. About 80% of students were placed with an average package of 8.96 LPA. The highest package offered was 40 LPA in the year 2019. Companies like ISRO, Accenture, BHEL, IBM offers internship to students of IIT Gandhinagar.

The CSE department of all IITs are well equipped with software, hardware, and Network security labs and imparts quality education. But, judging by the placement statistics, the priority order is IIT Indore CSE > IIT Patna CSE > IIT Ropar CSE >IIT Bhubaneswar CSE >IIT Gandhinagar CSE.
 

BITS is the better choice among all as CSE has more scope than ECE. And NIT Surathkal is an old institute with a better placement record than IIT Bhubaneswar. 

Since BITS Hyderabad is the newest among all other campuses and it certainly is a little behind in terms of faculty, infrastructure, etc. But when compared on a national level it is on par with any other institute. It provides the students with a prime location to look for internships and also provides an edge to them if they are opting for off-campus placements. Although the institute provides students with decent opportunities for on-campus placements also. Around 200 companies visit the campus each year and around 94% of the student secured a job through campus placements with an average package of around 5-6 lakhs per annum and the highest package offered was as high as 14 lakhs per annum.

NIT Surathkal is among the top NITs of this country. The placements of students of this branch are also good although NIT Trichy and Warangal have better placement records. The average placement package offered at this NIT is around 14.15 LPA and 100% placement was observed for B.Tech batches in last year’s placement drive.

ECE is one of the new branches that started at IIT Bhubaneswar starting from 2016. Hence the first batch of students will graduate in 2020. In 2019, the average CTC offered in this IIT was 11.44 LPA. Many core companies, software companies, PSU’s, etc. hire electrical engineers from IIT Bhubaneswar hence one can assume the same trend to be followed for electronics and communication engineering also but the result is yet to be seen.

Both institutions provide good opportunities to explore one’s interests and excel in it. IIT Bhubaneswar And IIT Jodhpur, both have a newly built campus. The Bhubaneswar campus is situated at the foothills of Barunei hills, outside the city of Bhubaneswar. The Jodhpur campus is situated nearly 24 Km away from the center of Jodhpur city on national highway 65. But both the campus provides a decent environment for studies away from the city’s restless life.

IIT BBS has some good tech societies for CS/IT students to enhance and develop good coding and technical skills, comparing the tech and coding environment of both, IIT Bhubaneswar gets an edge over IIT Jodhpur. Both the IITs have good placement statistics and many big known companies like Amazon, Microsoft, Goldman Sachs, etc. visit every year for placements. In the year 2019-2020, both IITs had 100% placement for Computer Science students. The two IITs have nearly the same placement package for CSE students.

Talking about the hostel facilities, both the IITs has newly built hostels. LAN-Wifi facility is available in hostels as well as in academic sections. The tuition fee for IIT Bhubaneswar and IIT Jodhpur is respectively 1.98 lakhs/year and 1.41 lakhs/year.

As both the institutes are new IITs and growing, one will get to explore new things and will get good exposure and opportunities.
 

IIT BHU and IIT Bhubaneswar are ranked 11th and 22nd respectively by the engineering category NIRF 2020.

IIT BHU being an older institute does have a large alumni network which results in good placements but it lacks modern infrastructure which is better in IIT Bhubaneswar. Being a new IIT, IIT Bhubaneswar has better hostels than any other IITs. Thus in terms of infrastructure, IIT Bhubaneswar is better than IIT BHU.

IIT BHU is located in Varanasi which is not the capital city of Uttar Pradesh but IIT Bhubaneswar is located in the capital city of Orissa giving it the advantage of better connectivity with the metropolis, airport and as a result, it attracts more multinational companies.

The closing rank in IIT BHU for CS is under 1000 and that of IIT Bhubaneswar is under 2500. Thus students with a better rank often choose IIT BHU. Coding Culture, Faculty, etc. are also better in IIT BHU.

Placements are also better in IIT BHU for Computers than IIT Bhubaneswar. But despite being a newly established institute the first batch in Computers of IIT Bhubaneswar got placed with an average salary package of 15 lakhs per annum.

So, IIT BHU is a better choice for computer compared to IIT Bhubaneswar is also worth considering because their Computer Engineering department is the most popular. In 2019 placement in Computer Engineering was 100%.

IIT Dhanbad is better in CSE as compared to IIT Bhubaneswar. IIT Dhanbad, established in 1926, is one of the oldest institutes in the country. On the contrary, IIT Bhubaneswar, established in 2008, comes under the list of new IITs.

The overall placement package for CSE at IIT Bhubaneswar might be more alluring than IIT Dhanbad, according to 2019 placement statistics there was 100% placement from the CSE branch and the average placement package offered was around 11.4 LPA while the highest went up to 39 LPA. However, in IIT Dhanbad, the placement rate of the CSE students were 90.23% and the highest CTC offered was 39.5 LPA.
Besides the number of students at IIT Dhanbad is more than IIT Bhubaneswar. IIT Dhanbad has an excellent coding culture and organizes a vast number of technical and cultural fests.

The number of opportunities in CSE offered by both institutions is almost the same. However, IIT Dhanbad definitely has a slight edge over IIT Bhubaneswar. Being one of the oldest institutes, IIT Dhanbad has better infrastructure as compared to IIT Bhubaneswar.

It has also produced a vast alumni number which are placed in the highest echelons of government organizations and global MNCs. In all other academic and hostel facilities, both the colleges are on par with each other. The faculty in the CSE department at IIT Dhanbad is also better than IIT Bhubaneswar.

All of these IITs offer a wide global reach for the students of CSE in terms of foreign internships and jobs.

In 2019, 3rd-year students of the CSE department of the Indian Institute of Technology, Bhubaneswar have received internship offers in many reputed industries. A few of them are engaged in internships in R & D organizations and in many foreign Universities. For the 2013-17 batch of CSE in IIT Bhubaneswar, the highest package was 38 LPA which was offered to 3 students by Works Application, a Japanese company.

CSE students of IIT Jodhpur received placement offers from international companies from countries like Japan, Indonesia, and many more. Past records show that many students go to Germany and Spain for research internships. Also, IIT Jodhpur has recently signed an MoU with NAIST, JAPAN which implies enhanced opportunities for internships and exchange programs for the students of this IIT.

Stanford University, University of New South Wales, University of Denver, Pennsylvania State University, TU Darmstadt, Indiana University Maurer School of Law-Centre, National Tsing Hua University are few of the international universities offering internship opportunities for students of IIT Patna.
 

IIT Bhubaneswar has had excellent placement trends over the years, especially for BTech CSE. Over the years, the major recruiters at IIT Bhubaneswar for CSE have been Adobe, Amazon, Capgemini, Deloitte, and the likes. From 2017 to 2019, BTech CSE was the branch with the highest placement rate.

The year-wise placement statistics for CSE are as follows.

CSE Placements 2020:

Now, in 2020 the placement data for CSE is as follows,

• The total placement average for BTech CSE was 97%. It is the branch with the second-highest placement rate this year.

• The average package received by the students of CSE was 20.95 LPA.

• A lot of MNCs like TCS, Wipro, Microsoft, IBM, Adobe, Mathworks, Samsung India, HCL, Oracle, Cognizant, Accenture, Deloitte, Infosys, etc were a part of this year's placements including a few PSUs as well, which include Oil India, HPCL, etc.

CSE has the best placement rate compared to other branches at IIT Bhubaneswar. It is also the branch that receives the highest average CTC each year. Due to the Covid-19 crisis, the placement has suffered this year. However, it will get better after the pandemic.

IIT Patna should be prioritized over IIT Bhubaneswar and IIT Ropar for CSE. It is because IIT Patna has taken a great leap forward in the domain of coding culture. It provides better research facilities and opportunities for placements in reputed companies. The placement scenario at IIT Bhubaneswar is also quite good, in 2019 there was a 100% placement form CSE. However, there is a considerable shortage of faculty in IIT Bhubaneswar. 

Furthermore, IIT Patna has marked its distinction in ACM ICPC (Olympics of Coding). The institute was successfully able to reach the world finals twice. This clearly illustrates the excellent coding culture at IIT Patna, which is undoubtedly unparalleled. The institute has also performed quite well in Robocon and in various IIT Tech Meets. According to 2019 placement highlights, a total of 50 students got placed from CSE with an average package of 16.76 LPA. Students from the institute have been successful in securing their place in reputed universities like Stanford University, University of New South Wales, University of Tokyo, including other eminent institutes. 

On the other hand, IIT Ropar is new among IITs and its placement statistics are not as good as of the other two colleges. So, the precedence order should be IIT Patna, followed by IIT Bhubaneswar, followed by IIT Ropar. Although the NIRF ranking(for 2019) of IIT Bhubaneswar (ranked at 17) is better than IIT Patna(ranked at 22), the CSE department of IIT Patna is better than that of IIT Bhubaneswar. On the contrary, IIT Ropar lags behind with an overall NIRF ranking of 29. 

IIT Roorkee and IIT Bhubaneswar both are good IITs with decent placement records. Even though IIT Bhubaneswar is a new name among Indian IITs, it’s doing quite well placement wise. The placement record of 2019 revels, 100% of CSE students got placement offers in IIT Bhubaneswar.

But being an old IIT, IIT Roorkee has a few advantages over IIT Bhubaneswar in terms of placement. Most of the(80%) programming companies that come to IIT Roorkee are open for all the branches. For example, FANG et al which is open for all in placement but does not visit IITs below Top 7–8 every year. There are also core Electrical Engineering job placements, including some top MNCs as well, which hire Electrical Engineering students only. So, you can have either options of programming jobs and core electrical engineering jobs. Adding to that, there is a larger alumni base, plus the availability of many facilities simply because IIT Roorkee is an older institute.

So, in terms of placement and future prospects between IIT Roorkee electrical or IIT Bhubaneswar CSE, IIT Roorkee electrical is a better choice.

IIT Bhubaneswar ranks 17th in the Engineering category by NIRF 2019 and BITS Hyderabad ranks 39th in the same category by NIRF 2019.

IIT Bhubaneswar has a dedicated placement cell, a total of 120 students were placed with the CSE department observing placement percentage of 100%. The undergraduate placement recorded 90% offers. The Electrical Engineering department has seen 86% placement in the year 2019. With an average salary package of 11 lakhs per annum for big companies like TATA Steel, TATA Advance System, Thermax, INTEL technology, etc.

BITS Hyderabad has a placement cell to groom students for interviews, etc. The CS department has been offered 16 lakhs per annum by companies like Microsoft, Adobe, etc.

You can opt for CS in BITS Hyderabad than opting for EE at IIT Hyderabad because computer science in BITS Hyderabad will open many scopes and are offered with a better salary package than Electrical Engineering from IIT Bhubaneswar.
