There are 4-year B.E/B. Tech and 5-year dual degrees in Mechanical Engineering courses at IIT Bhubaneswar. The cutoff varies depending on the course and caste of students. Given below is the all India JEE (Advanced) – 2017 closing cut off for various Mechanical Engineering branches in the second round of IIT Bhubaneswar.

IIT Bhubaneswar is among the top engineering colleges in India. According to the NIRF Rankings it is placed at 17th in the engineering category. The Electrical Engineering program offered by IIT Bhubaneswar is good both in terms of academics and placements.

The eligibility criteria for EE is aggregate marks of 75% in 10+2. The selection for admission is done based on the performance of the student in JEE Advanced. In 2019 the JEE Advanced closing cutoff for EE at IIT Bhubaneswar was 2276-8787 (general category). The fees for the first-year is INR 2.14 LPA.

At present, the School of Electrical Science at IIT Bhubaneswar has 33 full-fledged laboratories well-equipped with modern instrumentation. The School has excellent faculties and most of them hold PhDs in their respective disciplines.

Electrical engineering has maintained a steady placement of 86% for the last three years. In 2019, 87% of the students from EE got placements in many top MNCs. The average CTC offered was INR 15.8 LPA, while the highest was around INR 43.3 LPA. MNCs like Deloitte, TCS, Capgemini, Goldman Sachs, etc. participated in the placement drive.

IIT Bhubaneswar is a second generation IIT but despite that fact, it’s doing quite well in terms of placement. According to NIRF Rankings 2020, the institute ranks at 22 among the engineering colleges in India.

The placement statistics of 2019 suggest 89% of students from the civil engineering department got placed. Even though it’s the popular belief that there is not much scope for civil engineering in India and most students prepare for non-core placement from the very first year of their engineering degree. In IIT Bhubaneswar this is not the case, as 70% of the students from the civil engineering department get core placemats. The average salary package offered during placement is 10 LPA. The highest salary package offered went up to 39 LPA in 2019.

Some of the top companies like Amazon, Adobe, Accenture, Gupta Solution, Flinto Solution, Honeywell, ISRO, IOCL, Jindal Stainless Ltd, KEC International, KIIT, L&T construction, L&T Ltd, Microsoft, MathWorks, Mastercard, PNB Metlife, TATA steel, TATA Advance System, Thermax, TESCO recruited students from IIT Bhubaneswar last year.

If we talk about statistics and past records, IIT Bhubaneshwar is a better choice.

IIT’s have the best faculties in the country. The level of research work and the flexibility IITs provide is exceptional. The companies that come for placement purposes are also distinguished from other colleges. The infrastructure at IIT Bhubaneshwar is developed and the campus is very well sustained for overall development.

Since Electrical Engineering has been from the start of IIT BBS, placements are great there. The placements for the early years were not that great but for the last 2 years, the situation is incrementing. In 2019 the placement rate for EE at IIT Bhubaneswar was 86%. The highest package went around 39 LPA by Adobe.

Placements at BITs Hyderabad have been relatively lower with median CTC around 5 LPA and the highest CTC around 14 LPA. Around 94% of the students got placed from the campus last year.

Both the brands are prominent ones, but the level of exposure and opportunities that you will get at IIT Bhubaneshwar may overpower that of BITS Hyderabad.

The overall branch change policy is the same in other IITs. However, there is a 10% rule which should be followed. No branch should have more than 110% and less than 90% of its actual batch strength.

The students who want to change the branch should score more than 8.5 CGPA without any backlog at the end of the second semester. If in case, there is a tie or equal CGPA, then the student having a better JEE ADVANCED rank will be given the priority. Students of 4 years B.Tech are eligible for consideration for a change of branch to any engineering courses including 4-year B.Tech and 5-year dual degree. However, the students in dual degree programs can change to dual degree programs only. Any change in the branch is final.

IIT Bhubaneswar hosts a strong base of faculty and a progressive learning environment for the Mechanical Engineering branch. In 2019, the opening and closing cut-off rank for Mechanical in round 1 of JoSAA was 3806 and 5073 respectively for the general category. For the dual degree of Mechanical and Metallurgy, the opening and closing cut off rank in round 1 of JoSAA was 5163 and 5522 in the general category. The annual fees charged by this college for a B.Tech is close to 2 LPA INR. In the year 2018-19, 83% of the Mechanical Branch got placed. 89 companies visited the campus in the academic year of 2018-19. The average package offered was INR 11.44 LPA. Few of the top recruiters included companies like TATA Power, IBM Tesco, Trident Group, etc.

However, admission to an engineering college entirely depends on a student’s interest and capability.
