IIT Bhubaneswar witnessed 90% placement in 2019 at the end of the academic session. Around 89 companies visited the campus with the average salary offered was 11.45 LPA.

The placements of electrical and mechanical engineering from IIT Bhubaneswar were 86% and 83% respectively. The top recruiting companies that visited IIT Bhubaneswar in 2019 were Capgemini, DELL, Honeywell, L&T construction, TATA Steel, etc.

In general, Mechanical engineering (ME) is a more versatile course than other engineering courses. Mechanical Engineers are hired in corporate managerial positions. On the other hand, Electrical engineering (EE) can deflect their career towards software development and programming.

Both of these branches are excellent choices to opt from IIT Bhubaneswar where the placements record is quite good. So, pick the course you are interested in.

The placement of IIT Bhubaneswar has never disappointed its students. There has always been an increase in the number of companies who visited IIT Bhubaneswar over years for hiring mechanical engineers. In the 2017-18 placement season, a total of 83% of students were placed from the Mechanical engineering department. From the core industries, the highest number of jobs were offered like other years. The average job package offered at IIT Bhubaneswar in the 2017-2018 placement drive is 10 lacs/annum. While the highest domestic CTC offered was 21 LPA and the highest foreign CTC offered went up to 38 LPA. In 2017-18 the number of jobs offered increased compared to 2017. A total of 41 companies visited campus during the placement drive. Top recruiters included PSU’s like ISRO, IOCL, BPCL, NCCBM. Mechanical has always been one of the best department in IIT Bhubaneswar because of the great faculties they have from all around the world. Although other departments have shown a curve in their growth the mechanical department has always maintained an inclined curve of its placement.

There has always been a stereotype that Mechanical Engineering is better suited for male than female students. Girls are pushed to take other courses like Electronics or Computer Science because they are said not to possess the physical strength required for the fieldwork in Mechanical Engineering. Even in top engineering colleges, it is seen that the male to female gender ratio is 140:10 which is fairly low as compared to other branches.

The choice of a branch to pursue should entirely depend on the individual. If a female candidate is interested to pursue Mechanical Engineering, she should be able to make that decision without apprehension. We are in the 21st century and it is high time we free ourselves of stereotypes which cause hindrance in maintaining gender equality through society. 

Mechanical Engineering doesn’t always need the aspirant to work on the field as it opens up opportunities for other fields too like Machine Design and CAD, Robotics and Mechatronics, Structural Analysis, etc. However, an individual, be it any gender, should be able to choose their career freely even if they are interested in pursuing a career in fieldwork after studying Mechanical Engineering.

IIT Bhubaneswar provides a strong faculty base and learning environment for students to pursue M.Tech. A few of the subject matters include Theory of Machines, Design of Machine elements, Power Plant Engineering, Artificial Intelligence & Neuro-Fuzzy Theory, etc. In the year 2018-19, 83% of students got placed from the Mechanical branch and the average salary offered was INR 11.44 LPA. Top recruiters included companies like TATA Steel, Maruti Suzuki, and PSUs like DRDO, ISRO, IOCL etc.
 

BIT Sindri mechanical is way better than that of many NITs and maybe some less popular IITs. Though the lab is very old still its machinery is in good condition. 

Facilities-

BIT Sindri offers great facilities and types of machinery such as a wind tunnel, and other automobiles.

• Wind Tunnel is an apparatus where models of submarines, airplanes, and other automobiles are tested to ensure that the prototypes will be working the same way as their respective models. This machine is huge and maybe you would have never seen it in your life. 
• The honeycomb maze section of the apparatus is likely to blow your mind. 
• It has been exported from IISC Bangalore, and till now even ISM does not have it.

Birsa Institute of Technology or BIT Sindri is the best college to study Mechanical Engineering. 

Thus, if you are looking to study Mechanical Engineering then BIT Sindri would be a good option. Along with good infrastructure, it also has skilled faculty and good placement. So, you can join it without any doubt.

By looking at the recent trends in the Indian Economy, it can be observed that there is a lack of opportunities for Mechanical Engineering students. The demand for Mechanical and Civil engineers has dropped down and the recruitment is usually in Non-core companies. Only students from Top-Tier colleges are placed in great companies where they move on to become managers.

About the 5-year Dual degree at IIT Bhubaneshwar, the student life is good there although there are strict rules and restrictions. The average package offered at this IIT was 11.44 LPA and the highest was around 39 LPA in last year’s placement drive. The college provides for a special internship program and a summer training program.

Hostel life is good and the hostel rooms are allotted on a single room occupant basis. The food provided is decent. Faculty are very well versed with their subjects and easily approachable as they come from different IITs. the sports facility is fine and many events also take place around the year. The Labs provided are modern but insufficient if compared to other old IIT’s.

Both Mechanical engineering and computer science engineering are two different fields of study so it’s difficult to select an institute over the other.

On the basis of NIRF (National institution ranking framework score) Rankings, IIT Bhubaneswar comes under the top 20 IITs in India. There are more than 15 faculty members for mechanical engineering and their syllabus emphasizes both the technical and communication teamwork. The school of mechanical sciences offers B.Tech in mechanical engineering, a dual degree (M.Tech- M.Tech) and M.Tech in mechanical system design and thermal sciences. Every year it also provides short-term courses, national and international conferences, workshops, project work, and many more extracurriculars. The laboratories are well equipped with 30 computational workstations and other facilities such as Material testing lab instrumentation lab etc. Moving on to placement, various reputed companies visit the campus to recruit students with an average salary package of 11.15 lakh per annum.

Whereas in NIT Andhra, there are less than 15 faculty members but the infrastructure is quite good. The laboratories for CSE are also pretty good which consist of Artificial intelligence lab, data analytics lab, and Enterprise app development lab. Top companies like Amazon, Wipro, Deloitte, etc. visit during campus placement and offers an average salary package up to 5.87 lakh per annum.
