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

NIT Trichy would be a better choice than IIT Bhubaneswar for Metallurgy because of the following reasons.

• The placements are better for in ECE than in Metallurgy.
• If students fail to get core placement in NIT Trichy, they can still try for top-notch coding and management companies recruiting from the ECE department.
• There are numerous Technical clubs for first years students who are passionate about Electronics.
• NIT Trichy has lower academic fees than IIT Bhubaneswar. But it may vary for different courses. The course fee of B.Tech in NIT is 72,100 whereas in IIT Bhubaneswar it is 1.4 lakh.
• In terms of quality of infrastructure and social life, NIT Trichy is better than IIT Bhubaneswar as it is much older.
• NIT Trichy ECE in 2019 has undergraduate placement of 95% and IIT Bhubaneswar Metallurgy has 90% placement in 2019.

IIT Indore is among the highly sought after technical institutes.

Metallurgy is a sub branch of Mechanical Engineering. The College IIT Indore is great according to the placement statistics. IIT Indore had 90% placement in 2018-2019 with an average annual salary package of 18 lakhs per annum and the highest being 43 lakhs per annum. Recruiters at IIT Indore include companies like Tata Steel, JSW Steel, Steel Authority of India Limited (SAIL), VISA Steel, Tata Iron and Steel Company Limited (TISCO), etc.

IIT Bhubaneswar is just behind IIT Indore. It has seen 85% placements in 2019 with an average annual salary package of 15 lakhs per annum for undergraduates, marking an increase of 25% over the last year. The highest domestic package offered was worth 43 lakhs per annum.

IIT Bhubaneswar also has collaborations with many foreign universities like University of Warwick, University of Southampton, University of Massachusetts Dartmouth, University of Western Ontario, University of New York, University of North Dakota USA, and McGill University.

To conclude, both institutes are equally good due to their placement percentage being somewhat similar. Both colleges have the same major recruiters such as COAL India, TATA Advanced Systems, TATA Steel Group, DRDO, Usha Martin, JCAP, etc.

Metallurgical Engineering program in IIT Bhubaneswar is quite good. A few of the subjects in the course include Polymers & Nanocomposites, Materials in archaeology, Materials recycling and sustainability, etc. The faculty of the metallurgy department are well qualified and experienced. The college provides a research-oriented environment and the curriculum also includes a number of field trips as it is located in Odisha which is blessed with minerals. Students also gain a major exposure through internships which they attain the second year of the course. The annual fees charged by the college is close to 2.13 LPA INR for its B. Tech course.

120 students appeared for the placement season of 2018-19. 90% of the Metallurgical Branch got placed in the year 2018-19. The average package offered was 11.44 LPA INR. 89 companies visited the campus in the year 2018-19. Few of the top recruiters include TATA Steel, Reliance Industries, and PSUs like IOCL, DRDO, ONGC, etc.

IIT Bhubaneswar is renowned in the metallurgical engineering and material science department. It has well qualified and experienced teaching faculty. As IIT Kharagpur is the mentor institute of IIT Bhubaneswar, the coursework follows IIT Kharagpur’s curriculum. IIT Bhubaneswar is located in Odisha's mineral state and provides numerous opportunities for essential experience in fieldwork and job sites. According to 2019 placement highlights, 90% of students from metallurgical engineering and material science department got placed. The average CTC offered was around 11.4 LPA.

Now for IIT Indore, it has gained rapid popularity for its coding community and the quality of the computer science curriculum. This resulted in a step back at the development of other core branches, mainly metallurgical engineering. In 2019 the placement rate at IIT Indore was 99% with an average CTC of 16.06 LPA.

The fact is that there are not many students interested to enroll this field of engineering. This results in a lot of the students opting for electives/optional subjects like coding, data science, etc. and then get placed in a non-core job (not linked with metallurgical engineering).

Based on these above factors, Bhubaneswar is preferred than Indore as it is situated and connected to Steel and Mining Industry and hence provides more job opportunities.

It depends on which course you are interested in. Both subjects have their own concept, CSE is coding based and Metallurgy is based on chemistry. But among all the private engineering colleges RVCE is famous in Bangalore. Most of the students prefer RVSC college for CSE. 

If you want to compare these two educational institutes on the basis of their infrastructure, placement wide, laboratory management, and laboratory construction RVCE will be the advanced one as compares to IIT Bhubaneswar. RVCE  offers an average salary package of 11-15 lakhs per annum to CSE students whereas IIT Bhubaneswar offers 11.44 lakhs per annum for metallurgy and material science students. 

RVCE library consists of 1720 books and the laboratory has 316 computer systems. Whereas IIT Bhubaneswar being a new IIT is still in the developing phase in terms of infrastructure. Also, CSE offers more job opportunities as compared to Metallurgy.

Recruiters like Yahoo, Amazon, PayPal, Microsoft, etc. visit RVCE to find potential candidates for their company. Both the institute’s design syllabus in such a way to crack any entrance examination like GATE for higher studies but RVCE is a little more advance as they have their various students organization like CSI chapter and IEE students chapter.
