I was in the same position as you last year. I too had the same options for my Bachelor and I chose IIT Roorkee due to the following reasons:-
IIT Roorkee has some of the best ph.d program. The courses include:
The eligibility criteria to take admission in this course is that you must have a B.Tech/M.tech or any equivalent master's degree that is related to the Ph.D program that you have chosen. The minimum duration of the course is 3 years and can be extended up to six years.
I am a second year B.Tech Electrical Engineering student at IIT Roorkee. The NIRF 2024 ranking of IIT Roorkee and other colleges is given below:
Though all the options mentioned by you are equally good, I am mentioning below the highlights of B.Tech Electrical at IIT Roorkee-
During 2023, IIT Roorkee recorded the highest package of INR 1.3 CPA, and the highest international package of INR 1.06 CPA. Total 63 recruiters visited the campus with 500 job offers. Some of the top recruiters for the placement season were- BCG, Bajaj Auto, Flipkart, and Tata Steel.
During 2024, Flipkart offered a package of INR 34 LPA, and the position of Software Developer. This offer was open to B.Tech CSE, Electrical and ECE students.
Myntra offered a INR 30 LPA package for the role of Software Development Engineer, and this offer was open to students of B.Tech (CSE, ECE, EE) & MSM. These are just two examples.
The choice would ultimately depend upon your goals and interests, but I can assure you that B.Tech Electrical at IIT Roorkee will provide you with great academics, research opportunities, and placements.
Choosing between BITS Goa CS and IIT Roorkee (Civil or Chemical branch) majorly depends on different factors including your preference, interest, and career goals.
I don’t even need to ponder over this question for a long time. The answer is very simple. You should choose IIT Roorkee over IIM Sirmaur for MBA. The reason being its new establishment. People don’t care if you are an IIM student unless you belong to the older ones. The new IIMs are yet to make a mark in the industry especially the likes of IIM Jammu and Sirmaur.
IIT Roorkee on the other hand is very good at placements and peer learning. Given the current situation of both institutes, IIT Roorkee is definitely the better option. The IIM tag offered by Sirmaur lacks credibility and even if it will be beneficial, it will be after some years and not right away.
A glimpse into the general procedure followed in counseling for an MTech at IIT Roorkee has been given below
Counseling of branches is usually done randomly and the schedule of Counseling of Branch is released.
Yes, in IIT Roorkee rooms are somewhat allotted based on JEE AIR. One of my friends who studied there told me her neighbors shared the first 2 or 3 digits of rank. However, there is no partiality and only top rankers aren’t allotted the best rooms. The layout and size of rooms in most hostels are similar with minor differences.
The freshers are allotted the Rajendra Bhavan which has 3 blocks. The opening rankers might be given a slight advantage here. Most branch mates are neighbors unless you are an opening rank of the branch, you will be allotted the block where other rank openers reside.
From 2nd year, you will be sharing a hostel with PG students and Research scholars who complain about any noise.
Counseling at IIT Roorkee is done through a number of steps given below
All documents are verified well before submission of the demand draft. To be eligible for further rounds, one needs to submit his demand draft.
The IIT Mandi CSE program is relatively new and is still gaining recognition. However, the faculty and facilities for CSE at IT Mandy are brilliant. IIT Roorkee's ME program is well-regarded and is considered to be one of the best in the country. Both institutes enjoy a good reputation, but IIT Roorkee has a more established mechanical engineering program. The suitability of the program depends on your interests and preferences.
The CS program at IIT Mandi is great. IIT Mandi has a good coding environment in addition to several GSoC selections every year. You will see active participation of students in coding competitions right from the first year.
It’s better to explore both branches ME and CSE and then after analyzing your interest,
You should explore your interest in both mechanical and CS as the branch is the most crucial determining factor of your career. This is because CS might not seem easy to those who lack interest in the same.
It would be best for you to visit the websites of both institutes and compare the program details, faculty, research, and facilities to decide which one would be a better fit for you.
IIT Roorkee has a detailed process for students who wish to change their branch.
Here is a summary of the main rules:
Students who have enrolled in B.Tech, IDD, and IMD programs with admission through JEE Advanced are eligible for branch change at the end of the first semester. But you must fulfill the following criteria:
The strength of a class shouldn't increase by 5% of the actual number of seats
Branch change is strictly done on the basis of merit, that is CGPA. In the case of a tie, JEE ranks are considered. Basically, you have to be among the toppers in your branch to be eligible for branch change as the competition is tough, especially in preferred branches like CS and ECE.
