Among the different types of specialization in electrical engineering, MTech in power systems is a leading specialization from IIT Bhubaneswar. There are 40% of the seats for the electrical engineering department among the total seats. In each year there are 10 elective subjects you can choose from.

Now let's have a look at the most important thing which is placement. You will get the privilege of sitting for major companies like Google, Apple, Microsoft, TCS, Intel, Cognizant, etc. Apart from these, there are also lecturer jobs from the coaching institutions and universities. In 2019 there was 69% placement from M.Tech courses. One thing to be kept in mind regarding the placements is that you can apply up to a maximum of 60 companies.

Both the choices are pretty good and you should go for the course that interests you the most. However, take the following factors into consideration while choosing a college and course:

• Infrastructure – Both the colleges provide good infrastructures like Library, Wi-Fi Campus, Hostel (Boys, Girls), Cafeteria, banks, Sports Complex, Gym, hospital, and labs. IITM also provides Shuttle service for its students.

• Fees Structure- The Fees for specific courses at IITM are 9.4 lakhs and at IIT Bhubaneswar its 8.5 Lakhs (approx) for the general category.

• Placement- IITM has an average placement in Engineering Design of around 7 Lakhs to 26 Lakhs and highest of 1.33 Cr whereas IIT Bhubaneswar has an average placement of Rs. 11 LPA. highest being 39 LPA

• Future Scope of the course opted- Engineering Design has more scope and job opportunities when compared with mechanical engineering.

• Alumnus Network of the college- Established in 1959 IITM has a strong alumnus network when compared to IIT Bhubaneswar.

• Faculty- IITM has more than 570 faculty on campus and IIT Bhubaneswar has around 129 faculty members.

• On-Campus Events and Extra-Curricular activities- Both the colleges conducts various technical and sports events.

IIT Gandhinagar is ranked 24th among the engineering colleges of India according to the NIRF Ranking 2020. The majority of placements offers at IIT Gandhinagar are made by PSU’s. Students also opt for different options according to their preferences about different careers.

But in the end, these are just some statistics that can change over time. So, you should make your decision according to your convenience.

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 & NIT are different in a number of ways and judging on the placement figures, one should not make any decisions. Although old NITs may offer better placement as compared to the IIT Bhubaneswar, there are few factors that make IIT Bhubaneswar a worthy choice. IITs have a brand value that is globally recognized however NITs as a brand don’t offer the same. They demand higher cut off marks during selection as compared to NITs. This results in a better quality of students and in turn better placements.

IITs offer better engineering faculties, however being a new IIT, it still does not have the required number of faculty members. IIT Bhubaneswar collaborates with esteemed institutions like ISRO, DRDO, BARC, etc. Students of IIT Bhubaneswar receive cushy internship offers from some of the globally renowned organizations like Google, Amazon, and Microsoft. NITs research work is not at the same level. With a spacious campus and state-of-the-art research labs, IIT Bhubaneswar provides good infrastructure. Past placement records from NITs indicate that the average pay package offered to the students (B.Tech) is somewhere between Rs 40,000 and 42,000 monthly. Whereas, the average CTC Offered at IIT Bhubaneswar was around 11.44 LPA. 39 LPA was the highest CTC. PSUs like ISRO, DRDO, IOCL, HPCL, ONGC visited the campus for recruitment. Other top recruiters were Amazon, Microsoft, Goldman Sachs, KPMG, L&T, Deloitte, Directi, Reliance Industries, IBM, Tesco, Samsung, Apple Inc, Adobe, Tata Steel, Tata Power, Trident Group, UnitedHealth Group, etc. A total of 89 companies visited the campus for placement drive. Although, variance among the salary packages depends on the ability of candidates and academic performances. All institutes have their pros and cons, so choose an institute based on which course you are interested in and how good is that specific course in that institute.

No, there is no such dress-code in IIT Bhubaneswar. But there are few basic rules regarding dress code like other colleges IIT Bhubaneswar expects the girls to follow. You should not attend the classes wearing something which may be perceived as inappropriate for the classroom environment. Other than that girls are free to wear what they want in the hostels.

But, there is a certain dress code for certain events in the college. In convocation, IIT Bhubaneswar asks its degree recipient to maintain a proper dress code. The dress code for girls is Saree with Golden Border/Churidar of Offwhite or White or Cream Color. For placements, the girls are always asked to be in their formals. The formals can be in the form of Churidar / Saree / Blazer with shirts tucked in, etc. Since jeans are not a part of formals therefore the girls are not allowed to wear such during such events.

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.

ECE is one of the new branches at IIT Bhubaneswar. The first batch of ECE will be out in 2020. Before 2016, electrical engineering in IIT Bhubaneswar was a combination of two streams EEE and ECE. After 2016, both of these courses were divided and a good number of core and software companies hired electrical engineers from IIT Bhubaneswar. The average placement package offered in 2019 was 11 LPA.

On the other hand, IIIT Hyderabad has witnessed domestic and international placement offers in 2020. There was a huge growth in the placement package from top recruiters namely Adobe, Google, Uber, Amazon, etc. The highest package offered in the year 2020 was 46 LPA and the average package was 21 LPA. A total of 117 companies visited the campus with 289 students getting placed in reputed companies. The students from the CSE department of IIIT Hyderabad received more placements than other sectors with an average package of 26 LPA. The students graduating with CLD can follow a career path in research and in top technology companies.

So, among these two, IIIT-H CLD has a slight edge over IIT Bhubaneswar ECE.
