These are the following inputs that can help you know more about an M.Tech degree in structural engineering from IIT Bhubaneswar.

Admission: One needs to score 60% or 6.5 CGPA in B.Tech or B.E degree in civil engineering and a valid GATE score. The weightage division for admission is 70% in the GATE score, 15% in written test, and 15% in the interview. There are 12 seats for this specialization.

Infrastructure: IIT Bhubaneswar is a fairly new IIT. It has an academic area, residential area, training centers, and Research Park.

Faculty: M.Tech in Structural Engineering comes under the School of Infrastructure. The school has 14 Assistant Professors, 4 Associate Professors, and 1 Professor.

Exposure: IIT Bhubaneswar attracts students from all over India. Hence, you will have the opportunity to be part of an excelling academic culture.

Placement: The placement percentage of the M.Tech department of IIT Bhubaneswar is 68% according to 2019 placement highlights. The average CTC offered in 2019 was around 11.44 LPA.

The placements in Mining are moderate with a decent number of students securing placements.

Even though it is the responsibility of the individual to decide as per what they want to opt for, yet in terms of statistics for a particular year is as briefed below:

1. The Average LPA is as mentioned: 4.27, while in terms of the total LPA of IIEST for all the departments of a singular year was 4.38 LPA
2.  Yet, you should not always go as per the average. Some of the students of this institute got placed in Coal India Limited at good packages as well. There were specific 5–6 students who got packages that almost were ranging from 9–10 LPA.
3. The total number of students placed from the Indian Institute of Engineering Science and Technology Shibpur in certain years were: 18 out of 28.
4. The few other noteworthy companies where students had been seen to get placed, especially in the Mining Department, were: Accenture, Deloitte, Infosys, CTS, Wipro.

The Mining Department of IIEST, Shibpur is nominated by the Government of India as one of the Govt. Agencies, mainly out of five, for verification of Mine Closure Activity. The institute has been the first DST FIST sponsored department as well.

According to recent data, BIT Sindri’s production, metallurgy, and chemical engineering departments have good scope for placement in core companies.

The points listed below state the general aspects and facilities provided by the departments in BIT Sindri.

• The department has official communications with companies for training and internship purposes. They are an essential aspect of pre-placement preparation.
• Most professors are quite good, and help a lot in curriculum and other placement related issues.

For Metallurgy undergraduates, the opportunities are listed below.

• In off-campus recruitment drives, students have large scope towards other prosperous companies and huge package offers.
• There are chances for students in Metallurgy to get into PSUs like SAIL because very few engineering colleges have the Metallurgy department.

For the Production undergraduates, the opportunities are as follows.

• A good core job in this branch is the best option one can opt for in Production. There are limited seats for production and industrial engineers which makes it difficult to get selected.

For the Chemical undergraduates, the opportunities are listed below.

• Few private chemical companies visit the campus too, but they are quite less in number.

To summarize, the above three branches provide a decent amount of opportunities in both private and government sectors. It is always the choice of the student to excel in his/her skills, their preparations and hardships they go through the four years of engineering, making a difference in career and further opportunities.

As of now, IIEST has recently become an institute which is part of the INI, yet it somehow has not procured enough time to evolve as an Institute of National Importance. It is in fact known to be a very well-reputed institute, however, IIEST is yet lesser heard of outside West Bengal.

If compared on the basis of placements, it does not occupy the space which most of the IITs and NITs have covered, such as Warangal, Surathkal, Tiruchi, Allahabad, Nagpur, Delhi, Mumbai, and several others, but IIEST still has established in factors concerning placements in the past years.

Although, certain years have seen numerous students getting placed in larger percentages by different companies. Having said that, the highest package seized was by the Computer science department with 32 LPA by a student working in Google now.

This time forward, it is now an individual’s responsibility to decide whether or not it is worth joining a 5 year course. You should sort your priorities in the first place, deciding if you want to perform in either Research or the Job sector. If you end up opting for Research, then the only logical option seconding IITs and IISc, is IIEST. You can stay assured of not repenting your period of time in the 5 year course you are required to do, once you choose research.

However, if you are wondering about moving to the job sector, then it probably would be better to join an institute that offers students a 4 year course. All things considered, there is an added advantage of joining a 4 years course which is that if you wish to pursue M.Tech, you will have better options in your hand, like the U.S., by preparing to sit in exams such as GATE or GRE, with a good rank whatsoever. This can stand as an advantage if you are planning to enroll in IIEST, because it is only then that your extra 1 year would definitely not be wasted.

Although, lastly, it largely is your personal decision whether or not IIEST is worth to put your hands on.
