What are the placement prospects of a student pursuing a B.Tech in metallurgy and materials engineering in IIT Madras?
My friend graduated from IIT Madras a few months ago and was devastated by the placement scenario of her branch. It almost seems that only Electrical and Computer Science students were eligible for decent placements, rest all suffered.
Talking about Metallurgy specifically, he did not find a single core company visiting the campus for placements almost as if the branch was non-existent. He was told to maintain a good CGPA of 7-8+ for core roles but no core company visited.
In case you are looking for a high-paying non-core job, which is the case for most IITians, you will have to appear for several written and online exams not related to your specialization. You will have to make a good resume by including extra skills, developing your personality, and going the extra mile in your academics to achieve a high-paying job.
Concludingly, Metallurgy has little or no core job prospects so you will have to work hard to get non-core jobs.
How is materials science & metallurgical engineering in MANIT Bhopal?
Materials Science and Metallurgy is a good branch. It has huge career prospects in R&D. One can also opt for higher studies post a B.Tech in Metallurgy.
This branch deals with the science of materials. One gets to study the extraction of metals and their refining & purification. The Department of Metallurgy at MANIT Bhopal is quite good. It allows ample time to prepare for GATE. Upon cracking GATE, one can get a job in PSUs like Vizag, IOCL, SAIL, etc.
The department professors are good and supportive. They encourage the students to grab new opportunities in the field of Metallurgy. The placement figures for B.Tech Metallurgy aren’t as good as B.Tech CSE/ECE. The average package is 5–6 LPA, and the highest package touches 8–9 LPA. About 60–70% of the students receive campus placement.
Materials Science and Metallurgy is a good branch, given that one shows interest in it. It offers ample study time to prepare for competitive exams on the side.
Which is a better course, IIIT Hyderabad for an ECE or IIT Madras metallurgical?
Both IIT Hyderabad and IIT Madras are premier academic institutions in India. IIT Hyderabad ECE and IIT Madras Metallurgical Department both offer well-structured academic courses for students. The ECE at IIT Hyderabad focuses on communication systems, electronics, signal processing, and more, while Metallurgical Engineering at IIT Madras focuses on the study of metal, its properties, applications, and processing.
Choosing IIT Madras is a better option as it is one of the top-ranking institutions in India. IIT Madras Metallurgical Engineering is a 4-year course. The total tuition fees for 4 years at IIT Madras Metallurgical Engineering is around INR 8 Lakhs, hostel fees are around INR 3.1 Lakhs, and one-time fees of INR 7000 approx. The highest package offered is INR 66 LPA, the median CTC is INR 17 LPA and the lowest is around INR 8 LPA.
What is better, metallurgical in the old IIT (Kharagpur/Roorkee) or electrical in the new IIT (Ganghinagar/Mandi)?
I was in the same position as you last year. I too had the same options for my Bachelor and I chose IIT Roorkee due to the following reasons:-
- Some of the older IITs like Roorkee boast a longer legacy and are highly esteemed for imparting quality engineering education.
- Opting for Metallurgical Engineering at one of these older IITs, if your interest lies in materials science or the manufacturing industry
- Metallurgical Engineering can open up distinctive career pathways in areas like metallurgy, mining, manufacturing, and even research.
- IIT Roorkee/Kharagpur is ranked 5th/6th in the NIRF ranking while IIT Gandhinagar/Mandi is Ranked 18th/33rd.
- IIT Roorkee Metallurgical branch has an Average Package of 21 LPA with IIT Gandhinagar/Mandi EE branch at 24 LPA.
- Old IITs have better infrastructure and college life as compared to new IITs.
Should I choose NIT Trichy metallurgy over NIT Raipur ECE?
My friend is currently pursuing B.Tech from NIT Raipur in the mechanical department. His honest opinion says that you should go for metallurgy at NIT Trichy. Here’s why
- If you went for the wrong branch or found out later that this is not your cup of tea, then after the 1st year you will have an option called branch sliding. In this process, you can change your branch from the current one to the desired one based upon the number of vacancies and score.
- If you went for the wrong college, then there's no option as a college slide! You’ll have to devote your 4 years in that college anyhow, except if you again decide to give mains.
So, if you simply want to get into a better place then choose NIT Trichy. This is because you can get the advantage of branch sliding anyhow. However, if you don’t want to take risk of not getting the desired branch, then go for NIT Raipur.
At last, sort your preferences and know your sole aim. Because in the long run, your happiness and satisfaction are what matters the most!
Which is better, IIT Indore for metallurgical and material science or NIT Rourkela for electrical?
IIT Indore is the better option for you, as they have experienced scholars who conduct effective classes for the students. There are a lot of misconceptions about IIT Indore, as they are new to this field and lack an alumni network, but they are more advanced than any other institute in India. They provide a resourceful atmosphere and good infrastructure facilities for the students. The final decision should be based on your core interests; for that, you can check the official website for the course curriculum in both institutes.
What is the scope of metallurgical and materials engineering at IIT Roorkee?
The scope of Metallurgical and Materials engineering or that of any engineering depends largely on where your inclinations lie and how much you are willing to work for it. There are several rare cases wherein a student of Biotechnology, the least preferred branch of engineering, is offered to a good company with a very high package.
IIT Roorkee and in fact, most IITs have low core opportunities but many non-core opportunities. That being said, it’s advisable for an IITian to learn to code for future security. IIT Roorkee offers the perfect culture to learn to code.
It’s a well-known fact that Sundar Pichai, CEO of Google, was also a BTech in metallurgy from IIT KGP. So I would like to conclude by saying that even if there are no opportunities at your door, create one!
