What is better, metallurgical in the old IIT (Kharagpur/Roorkee) or electrical in the new IIT (Ganghinagar/Mandi)?
Both metallurgical and electrical engineering are highly respected fields of study. The choice between them will depend on your personal interests and career goals. The old IITS like Kharagpur and Roorkee has a long-standing legacy in metallurgical engineering, whereas the new IITs like Gandhinagar and Mandi have strong electrical engineering programs.
However, personally, I feel metallurgy in Kharagpur or Roorkee is a better option than joining EE in newer IITs. Here are a few points that support my stance
- The exposure, culture, opportunities, peer groups, and overall campus life you will experience at IIT Roorkee cannot be compared to that of newer IITs which are still growing and have a long way to go.
- The branch does matter to a certain extent, but if you look at the bigger picture, the Institute’s brand and opportunities overshadow the drawbacks of a less preferred branch.
- Those who are desperate can always opt for a branch change at the end of the first semester.
Ultimately, the choice between metallurgical engineering at an old IIT and electrical engineering at a new IIT will come down to your personal inclinations and career goals.
Which is a better choice among industrial systems engineering at IIT Kharagpur and electrical engineering at IIT Bhubaneswar?
Ans. - IIT Bhubaneswar is a young institute with immense potential for growth and accomplishment. In contrast, IIT Kharagpur is a well-established institute with a long-standing reputation.
If you are seeking an institute with outstanding campus life and facilities, then IIT Kharagpur is the perfect fit for you. If you are uncertain about your branch of study but confident about your ability to compete, you can consider opting for a branch change after your first year by earning a high GPA. Keep in mind that this option is not an easy one.
Considering the scope of job and academia, Electrical Engineering at IIT Bhubaneswar may be a better option for you, even if you are unaware of the current placement scenario. Students have been receiving better offers over the years, indicating positive growth.
In the end, your decision depends on your interests and what you want to study. Both of these institutes are excellent places to pursue either of these streams, with their respective strengths and opportunities.
What is the placement scenario at VGSoM (IIT Kharagpur) when compared with new IIMs like Ranchi, Raipur, Kashipur, Trichy, Udaipur, and Rhotak?
In 2022, the VGSOM IIT Kharagpur business school achieved a 100% placement rate for its students. All 97 students who registered for the placement process were successfully placed in jobs. The highest salary package offered during the placement process was 31.98 LPA, while the average package was 19.36 LPA. These strong placement results demonstrate the success of VGSOM IIT Kharagpur in preparing its students for the job market and the value that employers place on its graduates.
Here is an individual's experience at IIT Roorkee, which was one in which he received admission to the institute in 2004 after having eight years of work experience. At that time, the management programs at IITs were relatively new and placements were not as strong as they are now. Despite this, he decided to attend IITR and focus on their studies and enjoying their MBA experience, rather than worrying about job prospects. As a result, he performed well academically and was able to secure an okay job in the IT industry. Through hard work and dedication, he was able to triple his salary within four years and work on projects in various countries. Ultimately, he retired in 2010 to travel and is still doing so seven years later. He believes that both IITs and new IIMs are good options for business education and that it ultimately depends on the individual's goals and priorities. He advises focusing on academics and enjoying the experience, as a job will eventually be obtained.
Which is better, chemical at IIT Kharagpur or CS at IIT Mandi?
Many students go through this dilemma after clearing their JEE Advance whether to choose Computer Science in a new IIT or to choose any lower branch in the old IITs. Following information can help you in taking the decision better:
- In case if Computer Science is your passion and you feel joy by solving logical problems patiently, then without any second thought, you should go for CS at IIT Mandi. You can easily get a good placement there or even pursue your research work there.
- If you are not well acquainted with coding then it is highly advisable to get exposed to it and then decide whether you genuinely enjoy it or not.
- IIT Kharagpur is a good choice if you go for Chemical Engineering as it is one of the most reputed institutes of India. CE is in great demand and will also be in the coming years. The course of CE at IIT Kharagpur is vivid, meeting the industry standards. The curriculum of CE is easier as compared to other branches like Mechanical or Electrical Engineering.
- You will have enough time and freedom to enjoy the college life and sharpen your other skills side by side which will eventually help you in getting jobs in the companies. Most companies call CE students for interviews and internships.
- IIT Kharagpur has a better ranking than IIT Mandi, because of which, if you plan to pursue MBA abroad after your B.Tech, you will definitely be getting an edge.
- The best part is that IIT Kharagpur allows you to change your branch at the end of one year. You can go for this option if you have scored a good CGPA in your first year but your change in choice should not be the sole purpose to join the college or the branch.
In short, I have discussed both the colleges (here IIT Kharagpur wins) and both the branches (here Computer Science wins). So, it solely depends upon the interests and priorities of the student whether to choose Chemical Engineering at IIT Kharagpur or CS at IIT Mandi. If you do not enjoy working with codes, then IIT Kharagpur will be the best option for you.
Which college will be best for an MTech in industrial engineering out of IITB, IITKGP, IITK, and NITIE?
IIT B is the best option among these for pursuing an MTech in Industrial Engineering. Your preference order should be IITB>IIT KGP>IIT K>NITIE. IIT B has an innovative course curriculum. You will learn optimizing techniques and algorithms. The course work and curriculum inspire research.
Companies such as Deloitte, Mahindra, Accenture, Sony, etc. visit the campus placements. The highest salary offered for MTech Industrial Engineering goes up to INR 19 LPA.
Is the MNC branch in IIT Kharagpur preferential over CSE in IIT Bhubaneswar, Indore or Dhanbad?
When it comes to MNC at IIT Kharagpur, the course is primarily focused on Mathematics, while only a small portion is related to coding or computer sciences. However, this can actually work to your advantage because the course structure of MNC department at IIT Kgp offers you an equal opportunity to enhance your skills in coding as well as in Finance or Analytics.
Moreover, if you happen to fall in love with your course, you also have the opportunity to pursue a Phd in Applied Mathematics as you will be graduating with an MSc degree.
Besides the academic advantages, you can also benefit from the well-developed Institute culture and Placement Cell of IIT Kharagpur, which can help shape your career. Taking all of these factors into consideration, I strongly recommend that you consider pursuing MNC at IIT Kharagpur.
Am I making a mistake by preferring IISER Kolkata over IIT Kharagpur MSc Integrated Physics?
No, it is not a mistake to prefer IISER Kolkata over IIT KGP for an MSc integrated course in Physics. You are going to get a pure science degree so it makes more sense to get the degree from an institute that focuses on that degree. IIT KGP is popular for its engineering degrees. So, you will be mostly surrounded by people who are pursuing engineering degrees. You won’t get to meet many like-minded students. The course structure of integrated MSc at IITs is also outdated.
At IISER Kolkata, you will get a decent course structure and better faculties for an integrated MSc.
Which one is the best for marketing: IMI Delhi, IIT-KGP, IMT Ghaziabad or IIT Delhi?
IMT Ghaziabad is the best option for Marketing. It has an excellent student crowd. There are good opportunities for peer-to-peer learning. The competitive environment on campus motivates students to perform better. IMT has a brilliant Marketing faculty. The alumni of the institute are working in top positions in the marketing domain.
IMT Ghaziabad placements are good. Marketing students are recruited in core/sales/media/digital/advertisement roles. For Marketing, the salary packages offered are in the range of INR 8 LPA - 11.92 LPA.
What's the career growth and options after getting PGDBA (business analytics) from IIT kharagpur, IIM Calcutta and ISI Kolkata?
