What are my career prospects after pursuing M.Tech in Computer Technology (Electrical Dept.) from IIT Delhi?
My friend completed her M.Tech in Telecommunication Technology and Management from IIT Delhi and also did some extra courses in Computer Technology from Electrical Department.
These courses usually cover Software related topics with very less focus on mathematical analytics and circuit design. Students from Instrumentation backgrounds expect Analytics and Design but the reality is IIT Delhi has very limited choices in this field. Most of the optional courses offered are related to CS and are much more promising than Analytics. If you are okay with programming, coding, and software development then go for it at once.
Rest assured, you will never get to doubt the packages offered during the placements of Computer Technology. It has the highest packages among all the Electrical Department branches.
You get what you seek, hence the more you are willing to get, the more opportunities you will have to explore other branches of IIT Delhi.
Which is better: IIT Delhi Energy Studies or IIT Roorkee Systems and Control?
I am eligible to answer this question as my sister is a pass out from IIT Delhi, Energy Studies. According to her, the primary step is to determine what you want from your degree; is it a brand name you are after or do you want a better branch that offers quality MTech education?
As far as Energy Studies are concerned, the career prospects from campus are bleak with only 1-2 students getting placed from the entire branch. This branch is suited for those who are preparing for IES IAS. This is because the workload is considerably less in comparison to other branches sparing you enough time to prepare.
But if you are genuinely interested in pursuing a career in Energy Studies and subjects like renewable energy intrigue you, you can always go for off-campus opportunities which are in abundance.
As far as Control System Engineering is concerned, you can find more job opportunities in the field for energy engineers than for a control system engineer.
For either branch, the option of teaching as a job opportunity is always open and can be considered.
Which companies / startups have been founded by IIT Delhi alumni?
IIT Delhi has produced many successful entrepreneurs who have founded a wide range of companies and startups. Some of the notable companies founded by IIT Delhi alumni include:
- Routofy: This app is used to compare and combine flights, trains, buses, and cabs to provide flawless intricate connectivity, even including the remotely located small towns and villages, Snapdeal: It is India’s top Economic platform that conducts smooth buying and selling transactions from the comfort of your home.

- Zenatix: This is for young managers and is meant to save at least 10% of their energy cost using intelligence from real-time data.
What should i choose between IIT Indore (cse) and IIT Delhi (chemical engineering)?
For an engineering student, his choice of branch is very crucial as it is the determining factor of his career. The institute is important no doubt but only for 4 years. For the rest of your life, your branch will shape your career more than anything.
The scope of Chemical Engineering is very wide and covers a humongous range of fields like
- Oil and Gas industry
- Petrochemical industry
- Fertilizer industry
- Nuclear industry
- Steel industry
- Paint industry
- Pharmaceutical industry
- Cement industry
Chemical Engineering graduates are sought by the above industries at large.
The work of a chemical engineer is to operate the plants optimally. He is also responsible for designing the plants along with a team of other branch engineers. India has less scope in this industry in comparison to abroad. With topics covered like thermodynamics, fluid mechanics, and heat transfer the branch has more of a physics element than a chemical element.
It’s completely on you which industry or nature of work you are willing to go for. It’s important to note that the career growth of a chemical engineer will not be as fast-paced as that of a CS graduate but the wait will be worth it in the end.
Who earns more, IIT Delhi (B.Tech) or IIM Ahmedabad (MBA)?
Comparing the average CTC of IIT Delhi and IIM Ahmedabad we get:
-
Average CTC of IIT Delhi: INR 16 LPA
-
Average CTC of IIM Ahmedabad: INR 26 LPA
One gets into IIM Ahmedabad after gaining 2.5 years of work experience. Adding the 2 year PGP Program, he is likely to start earning after 4.5 years. Around this time, candidates of both IIM Ahmedabad and IIT Delhi will be earning almost the same amount.
The only advantage an IIM Ahmedabad student will have is its tag which will add value in the long run.

Courses: Course-wise too, IIT Bombay wins the race accompanied by IIT Delhi, IIIT Hyderabad, and BITS Pilani subsequently.
International competitions: The order remains the same except BITS scores better than IIIT Hyderabad in this aspect.
Startup culture: The startup culture too is best at IIT Bombay, then IIT Delhi followed by BITS and Hyderabad.
\Alumni: IIT Bombay has the highest number of successful alumni across the globe after which stands IIT Delhi, BITS Pilani, and finally IIIT Hyderabad.
I don’t think it’s logical to compare extremely old and government-funded IITs with private institutes like BITS and IIIH. The alumni reach is also incomparable.
Which is the best between IIT Delhi and Chennai?
IIT Delhi enjoys the reputation of being an IIT that offers the best city life experience. The campus is always lively with future entrepreneurs roaming around with splendid ideas.
Its lavish location is another added advantage being surrounded by NIFT, JNU, Hauz Khas, and other lounges. Students prefer spending their evenings in clubs to release stress. It is also in close proximity to Gurgaon, the IT mushroom of the country adding to the overall exposure and internship opportunities provided to the students.
IIT Delhi has some great tourist spots like Manali, Punjab, Kashmir, Rajasthan, and Thungnath.
Inside the campus, you will find a rich startup and coding culture with very few students inclined towards Civil Services.
Honestly, I feel your branch has less to do with the opportunities and exposure and your college has more to do with it. So choose wisely or go for IIT Delhi and you will never regret it!
How good is the internship experience at GIPEDI, IIT Delhi?
One of my friends recently completed the GIPEDI internship offered at IIT Delhi. She got immense exposure to image processing and Machine learning in health care. She had to work on MRI image segmentation using machine learning. The entire work was research-based and she was assisted by a Ph.D. scholar.
She told me that the best part was that even after completing her internship she met in touch with her mentors and worked together. This helped her get a few good-quality publications.
Unlike what is mentioned on the website, no soft skills are considered during the internship. She expected to get a project in the CS department owing to her background in the same domain, but she was sent to the Electrical department instead. A new project irrelevant to your stream is assigned to you during this internship. Moreover, there are no accommodation facilities provided for such interns.
How can I get a summer internship (CSE) at IIT Delhi? My domain is machine learning.
You can get a summer internship at IIT Delhi in 2 possible ways:
Applying to the Summer Research Fellowship: This is usually for non-IIT students who wish to do an internship with IIT and also has a fixed stipend. However, I have no knowledge about the ML domain specifically.
Looking for professors that work on topics that interest you: Once you have found a professor whose work aligns with your area of interest, contact him through the mail. Tell him about your interest and your knowledge of that topic. However, working under a professor requires constant approaches and you won’t be able to contact him in the first go.
How do I apply for the executive MBA in technology management from IIT Delhi? Can we do executive MBA from IIT Delhi while working?
