How was your experience at IIT Bombay during M.Tech?
My friend stayed at IIT Bombay only for a month but her experience was so amazing she couldn’t stop praising the institute. Some core points from the overall experience are:
- An orientation is conducted to introduce the basics of the MTech program for two days. Your seniors will interact with you and give you advice. A presentation related to the course curriculum will be played to deliver the necessary information.
- The first semester is pretty hectic as students are not used to the rigor and life at IIT Bombay.
- Students take courses worth 60 credits. Each subject carries 6 credits. During the first semester, students usually take 4 subjects with Software Lab being compulsory
- You are allotted 2 weeks to make a choice of 4 subjects. During these 2 weeks, you can attend lectures on any subject, interact with students and decide your elective accordingly.
- The institute offers some audit courses also wherein you have to just attend classes and not give exams. These are meant solely for learning.
- Attendance is taken through biometric ID cards.
- Classes usually start around 8: 30. The campus is so huge that most people rent bicycles or avail taxis that roam inside the campus.
- The class experience varies from subject to subject. All students have a good idea about most subjects since they have come through GATE.
- The faculty is really good apart from a few cases. Machine learning was taught by Preethi Jyothi, a P.hd from Ohio university. OS was taught by Mythili vutukuru, P.hd from MIT. Most of the teachers were cooperative and experienced.
- The most hectic part of IIT Bombay life is the culture of regular assignments. One is expected to write around 1000 or more lines of code each week and should not be copied from anywhere. They have software for detecting plagiarism. Strict action is taken if caught for plagiarism.
- Hostel facilities include double occupancy rooms with a decent LAN connection.
- The mess food is average and most students start going to the canteen after a few days.
Life at IIT Bombay is definitely filled with fun and thrill and you will experience a roller coaster of emotions throughout m
Which one is better, IIIT-H CLD or IIT Bhubaneswar for ECE?
ECE is one of the new branches at IIT Bhubaneswar. The first batch of ECE will be out in 2020. Before 2016, electrical engineering in IIT Bhubaneswar was a combination of two streams EEE and ECE. After 2016, both of these courses were divided and a good number of core and software companies hired electrical engineers from IIT Bhubaneswar. The average placement package offered in 2019 was 11 LPA.
On the other hand, IIIT Hyderabad has witnessed domestic and international placement offers in 2020. There was a huge growth in the placement package from top recruiters namely Adobe, Google, Uber, Amazon, etc. The highest package offered in the year 2020 was 46 LPA and the average package was 21 LPA. A total of 117 companies visited the campus with 289 students getting placed in reputed companies. The students from the CSE department of IIIT Hyderabad received more placements than other sectors with an average package of 26 LPA. The students graduating with CLD can follow a career path in research and in top technology companies.
So, among these two, IIIT-H CLD has a slight edge over IIT Bhubaneswar ECE.
What is a good priority order for CSE among IIT Ropar, IIT Bhubaneswar, and IIT Patna?
IIT Patna should be prioritized over IIT Bhubaneswar and IIT Ropar for CSE. It is because IIT Patna has taken a great leap forward in the domain of coding culture. It provides better research facilities and opportunities for placements in reputed companies. The placement scenario at IIT Bhubaneswar is also quite good, in 2019 there was a 100% placement form CSE. However, there is a considerable shortage of faculty in IIT Bhubaneswar.
Furthermore, IIT Patna has marked its distinction in ACM ICPC (Olympics of Coding). The institute was successfully able to reach the world finals twice. This clearly illustrates the excellent coding culture at IIT Patna, which is undoubtedly unparalleled. The institute has also performed quite well in Robocon and in various IIT Tech Meets. According to 2019 placement highlights, a total of 50 students got placed from CSE with an average package of 16.76 LPA. Students from the institute have been successful in securing their place in reputed universities like Stanford University, University of New South Wales, University of Tokyo, including other eminent institutes.
On the other hand, IIT Ropar is new among IITs and its placement statistics are not as good as of the other two colleges. So, the precedence order should be IIT Patna, followed by IIT Bhubaneswar, followed by IIT Ropar. Although the NIRF ranking(for 2019) of IIT Bhubaneswar (ranked at 17) is better than IIT Patna(ranked at 22), the CSE department of IIT Patna is better than that of IIT Bhubaneswar. On the contrary, IIT Ropar lags behind with an overall NIRF ranking of 29.

Which is better, IIT Hyderabad for EE or IIT Bhubaneswar for CS?
If you plan to change to CS, it is quite difficult to shift from EE to CS at IIT Hyderabad. It is easier for other branches to change to CS.
Mechanical and Chemical students get CS during branch change, but the chances are less for Electrical students. This is the experience of one of my friends at IIT Hyderabad.
CS at IIT Hyderabad is better than CS at other new IITs. IIT Hyderabad is one of the best among the new IITs. IIT Hyderabad is showing tremendous growth.

Which is better, an MTech in transportation in IIT Bhubaneswar or construction technology in NIT Warangal? I’m not much interested in MTech and I want to prepare for other exams.
Both Universities are equally good. IIT Bhubaneswar is a new IIT and still in the developing phase. But the IIT is a brand name that has global recognition. Being a new IIT the Civil department of IIT Bhubaneswar is not at the same level as old NITs but on the other hand, transportation is a safe career option over construction technology in terms of job security. And despite being a new IIT, this institute has a good placement record. In 2019, there was 68% placement from M.tech courses with decent CTC. The average salary was around 11.4 LPA.
NIT Warangal is one of the best NIT in India. Although the faculties of this university are not permanent, they change frequently and are under the supervision of the Structures division. In terms of placement, this place is also quite good the average salary went up to almost 7 lakhs/annum last year. Regarding education and placement NIT Walangel is preferable over IIT Bhubaneswar as it is the older institute with a large alumni base.
As far as the second question is concerned, M.Tech requires a lot of determination, time, focus, and dedication. If you are not interested then it is a waste of time. You will have very little time left with classes and lab practices in M.Tech 1st year so preparing for other exams will not be that easy. But it’s not impossible if you manage the time properly so that balance is maintained between the preparation of other courses and M.Tech.
Which is a better college of engineering, Pune or IIT Bhubaneswar for CS?
IIT Bhubaneswar CS is better. Being an IIT, it is centrally funded and offers better facilities. Whereas, College of Engineering Pune is a state-funded university.
IIT Bhubaneswar placements for CSE are excellent. Here are the 2022 placement highlights for the branch.
| Placement percentage | 98.15% |
| Highest CTC | INR 44.10 LPA |
| Lowest CTC | INR 9.65 LPA |
| Median CTC | INR 19.25 LPA. |
| Average CTC | INR 22.40 LPA |
So, if you are getting CS at IIT Bhubaneswar, go for it.
How difficult is it to convert to IIM Shillong? How easy/difficult is the GDPI round?
The experience of GD and PI for IIM Shillong differs from one person to another.
The GD is case-based wherein you’ll get a real-life situation. You’ll have to analyze the problem and offer your opinions and effective solutions. This is easy for an engineering graduate, but it can be difficult based on your field of expertise.
The interview panel consists of two professors. The mood of the PI is calm. They'll ask you questions on your profession/ field of study. For example, You are an engineer who has worked in a manufacturing plant. You'll get questions on turbines, rotors, fluid dynamics, heat exchangers, etc.
They ask current affairs questions as well. You may be asked about the MBA domain you wish to pursue at IIM Shillong. Some of the questions may be out of the syllabus. For example, my brother did his engineering from NIT Bhopal. So he was asked a question on the Bhopal Gas Tragedy as well.
The GD and PI last for around half an hour in total. The PI isn’t difficult, but it is fast-paced and straightforward. You won't be expected to know every question. But your answers must be well thought out. If you give the interview and GD with confidence, there’s a high chance of you converting to IIM Shillong.
