Civil Engineering from IIT Gandhinagar is a better choice as compared to Civil Engineering from IIT Bhubaneswar. Although IIT Gandhinagar is among the newly constructed IITs, it has an impressive faculty in the Civil Engineering department. Besides, the placement record of IIT Gandhinagar is better for Civil Engineering as compared to IIT Bhubaneswar. IIT Gandhinagar has been a preferred choice of most research scholars who wish to pursue their Ph.D. in Civil Engineering. Although the infrastructure of IIT Bhubaneswar is better than IIT Gandhinagar, the latter has a locational advantage(Gandhinagar being the capital of Gujarat) over the former(Bhubaneswar being the capital of Odisha). Furthermore, as compared to other branches, the civil engineering branch at IIT Gandhinagar comprises eminent and revered faculty. On the contrary, IIT Bhubaneswar had faced a shortage of faculty in civil engineering for quite some time.

IIT BHU used to be an engineering course under the administration of BHU and was known as IT BHU. In 2012, the government granted IT BHU the status of an IIT. Since that moment IT BHU became IIT BHU, the sixteenth IIT of this country. The primary reason for the establishment of IITs was to promote research work in our country. IT BHU had a big contribution to research going on in India. Although IIT BHU still shares the same campus as BHU, it is a different institute. Being an IIT has brought many changes in IIT BHU. It is receiving more funds from the government. The research work has also boosted. Many state-of-the-art research equipment has also been brought into the college. So, that is the reason why IT BHU is now referred to as IIT BHU.

There has always been a stereotype that Mechanical Engineering is better suited for male than female students. Girls are pushed to take other courses like Electronics or Computer Science because they are said not to possess the physical strength required for the fieldwork in Mechanical Engineering. Even in top engineering colleges, it is seen that the male to female gender ratio is 140:10 which is fairly low as compared to other branches.

The choice of a branch to pursue should entirely depend on the individual. If a female candidate is interested to pursue Mechanical Engineering, she should be able to make that decision without apprehension. We are in the 21st century and it is high time we free ourselves of stereotypes which cause hindrance in maintaining gender equality through society. 

Mechanical Engineering doesn’t always need the aspirant to work on the field as it opens up opportunities for other fields too like Machine Design and CAD, Robotics and Mechatronics, Structural Analysis, etc. However, an individual, be it any gender, should be able to choose their career freely even if they are interested in pursuing a career in fieldwork after studying Mechanical Engineering.

IIT Bhubaneswar provides a strong faculty base and learning environment for students to pursue M.Tech. A few of the subject matters include Theory of Machines, Design of Machine elements, Power Plant Engineering, Artificial Intelligence & Neuro-Fuzzy Theory, etc. In the year 2018-19, 83% of students got placed from the Mechanical branch and the average salary offered was INR 11.44 LPA. Top recruiters included companies like TATA Steel, Maruti Suzuki, and PSUs like DRDO, ISRO, IOCL etc.
