Both IIT Bhubaneswar and IIT KGP are well-recognized academic institutions famous for their extensive offerings in the fields of Engineering, technology and management. I don’t have much idea about IIT KPG but I can surely guide you on IIT Bhubaneswar ultimately the choice depends on your career goals and personal preferences.
I am a second year B.Tech Mechanical Engineering student at IIT Bhubaneswar.
The professors in our department are outstanding. Besides possessing expertise in the fundamental concepts of this field, they have produced high-impact research papers on a variety of subjects.
As of now, the 2023-24 B.Tech Mechanical batch at IIT Bhubaneswar has recorded 94.34% placements. Presently, the highest package is INR 27 LPA, the 4th highest among all B.Tech branches. The average ctc is INR 11.96 LPA for B.Tech Mechanical. The placements will continue till the end of August 2024.
Here is a comparison between Mechanical Engineering at IIT Bhubaneswar and Electrical Engineering at IIT Dhanbad:

Although the ranking and placements of IIT Dhanbad are superior, the School of Mechanical Sciences at IIT Bhubaneswar has some of the best teachers and a rich course curriculum.
I would personally recommend you join Mechanical Engineering at IIT Bhubaneswar, but the choice is ultimately yours.
Both Civil Engineering at IIT Madras and Mechanical Engineering at IIT Bhubaneswar are great options for students to pursue. However, if you ask me I have limited knowledge about IIT Madras but being a student of IIT Bhubaneswar I can share some insights on the institution.
You can choose IIT Bhubaneswar for an MTech in Mechanical Engineering. The placement record for the branch is great. L&T ECC, Belcan, and Maruti Suzuki are some of the major recruiters of the branch. Many non-core companies take part in the placement as well.,
According to the recent highlights of IIT Bhubaneswar placements, MTech Mechanical students receive an average CTC of around INR 15 LPA.
M.Sc Physics program at IIT Bhubaneswar is quite good both in terms of academics and future career prospects.
It is a two-year full-time postgraduate program and the course fee is INR 2.66 lakh. The pre-requisite for admission to the program is a minimum of 55% marks in Bachelor’s degree or 5.5 CGPA for general candidates and for SC/ST or PwD students a minimum of 50% marks in Bachelor’s degree or 5.0 CGPA. Selection to the program is based on the performance in JAM, according to the AIR decided by the institute. For tie-breaking, the candidate with higher positive marks is given preference. The least cutoff for MSc in Physics in last year was 370.
According to the placement statistics of 2019, around 70% of students from PG course got placement and the average CTC was 11.4 LPA. Many students also choose to work in research labs and go for higher studies.
If you ask me, I think you should opt for Mechanical at IIT Bhubaneswar rather than choosing ED at IITM. I am saying this not because I am a student of IIT Bhubaneswar but because of the high academic standards the institute maintains.
I would suggest opting for MTech from IIT Bhubaneswar in electronics and communication is a better choice than IIT Bangalore.
This totally depends upon your interest in the subject. You should give preference to the subject rather than a degree from college because your subject will shape your future.
The school of water resources is one of the pioneer centers for education and training in water quality and quantity management. There is an advanced research water quality lab in IIT Kharagpur. It is an old IIT and will provide more opportunities for higher studies in foreign universities, people also go to foreign universities from IIT Bhubaneswar but opportunities in IIT KGP will be more.
The water resources have limited scope considering the Indian employment scenario. If you are giving preference to the subject then join IIT Bhubaneswar. If your preference is not the subject then join IIT KGP because exposure and opportunities will be more in IIT KGP. A student planning for Ph.D. after M-tech will have much better scopes in IIT KGP than IIT Bhubaneswar.
Other than the classroom coaching centers mentioned in the previous answer, there are several others that you can consider for your GRE preparation. Some of these coaching centers are mentioned below-
There are numerous coaching centers available in Bhubaneswar for your GRE preparation. You can choose the one that best suits you according to your locational
and other preferences.
As an IIT Bhubaneswar student, I suggest you go for IIT Bhubaneswar for ECE. IIT Bhubaneswar has highly qualified faculty members who help the students gather theoretical and practical knowledge. The first-year course fee for IIT Bhubaneswar Btech is INR 2.32 Lakhs.
