Among the different types of specialization in electrical engineering, MTech in power systems is a leading specialization from IIT Bhubaneswar. There are 40% of the seats for the electrical engineering department among the total seats. In each year there are 10 elective subjects you can choose from.

Now let's have a look at the most important thing which is placement. You will get the privilege of sitting for major companies like Google, Apple, Microsoft, TCS, Intel, Cognizant, etc. Apart from these, there are also lecturer jobs from the coaching institutions and universities. In 2019 there was 69% placement from M.Tech courses. One thing to be kept in mind regarding the placements is that you can apply up to a maximum of 60 companies.

The placement scenario for a dual degree in civil engineering is different from other branches in IIT Bhubaneswar. Nowadays, students of civil engineering prefer non-core jobs over core jobs. The reason being higher initial pay in non-core jobs and the unavailability of core job in civil engineering. But for civil engineering in an IIT, a lot of students prefer dual degree courses over BTech. The advantage of a dual degree student is that one gets the opportunity to work on a project in 2nd year holidays, and intern in the 3rd year and 4th year. In 3rd year, the BTech student changes from BTech to Dual degree student.

The placements for civil engineering students’ weather in the dual degrees or in B.Tech are not up to the expectations, whether you graduate from IIT-Bhubaneswar or any other IIT. This is the reason why most of the students indulge in coding and switch to non-core companies. Few students go for their own start-up, while some opt for pursuing a Ph.D. and some go for PSUs. Although a handful of big firms such as L&T constructions, Marvel Realtors, etc. come to campus for recruitment. A student must have good practical knowledge and experience. These firms mostly go for experience (unlike other branches). They hire students as trainees and once the students have completed the tenure as trainees while gaining experience simultaneously, their pay increases satisfactorily and exponentially. The average package is about 7-9 lakhs (approximately). The percentage of students from civil engineering getting placed in core companies is less than the students from other core branches (changes year to year). But overall, the placements for Civil Engineering are not as good as other core branches in most of the IITs and it’s the same for IIT Bhubaneswar.
