How is production engineering at BIT Mesra?
I am an alumnus of BIT Mesra and pursued my B.E. in Production Engineering from this institution. In my opinion, Production Engineering at BIT Mesra is an excellent course.
BIT Mesra Production Engineering faculty is learned and supportive at the same time. If you want a job in the manufacturing/production industry, the curriculum over there is useful and interesting. However, a few topics in the curriculum are obsolete and an update is required with the advancement in technology and production practices.
Production Engineering at BIT Mesra has an almost negligible workload when compared to the other branches. The faculty is not as strict with quizzes and assignment submissions. With some effort, you will perform quite well academically.
Placement-wise, Production Engineering at BIT Mesra is not an ideal branch. However, the top 10-15 students have a great chance of getting placed during campus recruitment. Not a good number of firms and industries related to this branch show up during campus recruitments. However, your skills and hard work will also determine your fate. During 2022, the placements for Production Engineering were decent with 33 students getting out of 42 registered students (and 36 eligible students).
Thus, Production Engineering at BIT Mesra is a really good stream, but not an ideal one in terms of placements.
How hard is it to score 9.0 CGPA in BIT Mesra?
Unlike most Engineering colleges, BIT Mesra follows the absolute grading system instead of the relative grading system. In the relative grading system, grading is done relative to the marks of the subject topper, who gets a 10 for that subject.
For a 10 CGPA in a subject at BIT Mesra, you must score 90 marks or above in it. It is a bit challenging to score marks in certain subjects. Getting a 9 CGPA is going to be tougher than you think. Only around 2 to 4 B.Tech students from a batch of around 700 are able to score that high.
However, you must not get disheartened or lose hope. If you study diligently and seek the guidance of your seniors and teachers, you can be one of those few high achievers.
How is CSE at BIT Mesra in terms of placements and course structure?
BIT Mesra offers good placements to CSE/IT students.

Apart from the good placement statistics, there are a number of other benefits of pursuing CSE/IT at BIT Mesra such as online/virtual coding competitions held every day, internships from the second year itself, paid internships in the third year too, and a strong alumni base.
Is NIT Jamshedpur for Electrical better or BIT Mesra for Mechanical?
You are comparing two different engineering branches which are core and are perfect in their own place. Also, the selection of the branch should be primarily based on your interest and future plans. It is very important you choose a branch of your interest, as you will spend 4 years learning it. So, decide on the basis of your interest.
NIT Jamshedpur is much better than BIT Mesra in placements except CSE. CSE has slightly better placement in BIT Mesra than NIT Jamshedpur but then the gap is decreasing year by year. So, you can easily opt for the choice of field you want.

Let me give you some details regarding the future prospects in both of them:
Core Jobs:
- Both the branches have an equal number of core jobs and both mechanical and electrical engineers are needed at any manufacturing firm.
- So in this case, it primarily boils down to your inclination towards either of the two branches.
Non-Core Jobs:
- Electrical Engineers also have the opportunity to switch their career to software engineering without much difficulty.
- Mechanical Engineers generally don't have this Liberty.
Government Jobs:
- Mechanical Engineering has the highest no. of vacancies in PSUs and Engineering services.
Several core companies come to campus at Jamshedpur in TATA town, TATA Powers and TATA Motors pick many students for jobs as well as for internships. Now, this brings a great advantage for both Mechanical as well as Electrical branch students.
Talking about infrastructure, BIT Mesra has a more beautiful campus than NIT Jamshedpur. If you want facilities, you should go with BIT Mesra. But, placement wise NIT Jamshedpur is far ahead of BIT Mesra, which is again proving NIT Jamshedpur worth over bit Mesra.
Based on the above parameters, you can decide for yourself. Regarding the two colleges you mentioned, both are equally good and have roughly the same student quality. BIT Mesra has an edge in software profiles and NIT Jamshedpur in Core Engineering placements.
Which is better among BIT Mesra, IIEST or NIT Rourkela?
IIEST Shibpur now enjoys the status of being an "Institute of National Importance" status with 160 years of Glorious Record of Producing "World Leaders in Engineering" and is nowhere near colleges like BIT Mesra and NIT Rourkela. The primary purpose behind the establishment of this institute was to combine IIT and IISc into a single body. It receives a high budget at par with most IITs and is a great choice for engineering aspirants.
The institute has successful alumni working in various fields across the globe. Some of them include Dr. Bimal K Bose USA World Leader in Power Electronics, Dr. Fazlur Rahman Khan World's Greatest Structural Engineer Designer of the Tallest Tower in the USA, and Dr. Kajal Gupta Chief Technologist NASA USA. The institutes connect spreads across the globe and IIEST Shibpur has Chapters in the USA, London UK, Canada, Australia, Singapore, Europe, the Middle East, etc.
Even if IIEST is comparable to BIT Mesra and NIT Rourkela today, it will be way ahead of these institutes in the new future given its fast-paced development.

BIT Mesra and its other branches (Ranchi, Patna, Deoghar, and Jaipur) do offer scholarships to students based on their GPA and their performance each semester.
To become eligible for the scholarship, you have to score more than or equal to 8 GPA in your semesters. The scholarship is not caste-based and is open to every deserving student. With the benefit of this scholarship, if you perform well in a semester, some percentage of your fee will be credited back into your bank account. This is the scholarship criteria-
- 8 GPA - 20% scholarship
- 8.5 GPA - 50% scholarship
- 9 GPA - 75% scholarship
- 9.5 GPA - 100% scholarship (you won’t be charged for your hostel and mess. All the money paid by you will be credited to your bank account)

Is BIT Mesra better than IEM, kolkata?
One of my friends was enrolled in this institute. She chose to study Chemical at BIT Mesra over ECE at IEM.
Through her 4 years of the course, she concluded BIT being better in nearly every aspect from academics, placements, extracurriculars, infrastructure, sports and ends finally at the reputation of the overall institute. Thus, it sums up your choice.

The only upper hand that IEM enjoys is the scores of CGPA a student obtains. That means, acquiring the best CGPA at IEM is quite a lot easier than what is at BIT. The second point of difference between the two of them is that IEM, when considered its location, is situated in Salt Lake, Kolkata, and is much better developed than Mesra, which in total is 16 KMs from Ranchi. These are the only points of difference as known.
