Placements:

The table given below shows the placement statistics of Chemical Engineering colleges:

The infrastructure of MITWPU is very pleasing. The university also provides other facilities like the ground, gym, auditorium, basketball court, hostel, canteen, labs, library, etc. Playgrounds, labs, and hostel facilities are provided in BVDU and RTMNU. On-campus facilities in VIT include labs, auditorium, playgrounds, canteen, gym, etc.

Both, IIT Bhubaneswar and IIIT Bangalore offer decent M.Tech in electronics and communication programs and provide good placement so it’s difficult to choose one institute over the other. Given below are a few factors which the students are required to consider before selecting between the two colleges:-

• Placement:In terms of placement, the average CTC of IIT Bhubaneswar stands out to be 11.5 lakhs/annum. Companies like Amazon, Microsoft, Goldman Sachs, Oracle, IBM, etc visit the IIT Bhubaneswar campus for placement drive. Few well-known PSU named ISRO, IOCL, and ONGC were also part of the placement in 2019. Apart from the offered jobs, the final year students are offered internships with a good amount of pay. Highest CTC touched approx 39 lakhs/annum. In 2019 from the electronics and communication field almost 86% of students got a decent placement from the campus.

IIT Bangalore showed remarkable progress by having 100% placement in 2019. Top recruiters were Accenture, McAfee, Tyfon, KayBus, etc. The average placement package was around 17.5 lakh/annum while the highest CTC was around 54 LPA.

• Eligibility:In IIT Bhubaneswar to get admission in MTech, a minimum of 60% marks are required in the Graduation level, and the cutoff score in the GATE exam (70% weightage), candidates are also required to go through a written test and interview (30% weightage).

IIT Bangalore does not conduct any entrance test for the M.Tech course. The GATE result or JEE result is only considered for selection. The students are shortlisted on merit-basis. The graduation level % is also considered for the shortlisted students.

• Faculty:Professors of both places are quite helpful. Both the colleges maintain a high standard in selecting their faculty.
• Campus:The infrastructure of IIT Bhubaneswar is expanding and improving over time. The Infrastructure of IIT Bangalore is good and if we compare it to IIT Bhubaneswar, both are up to the mark.

IIIT Bangalore is known for maintaining a 100% placement record over the last few years. According to the Placement Statistics 2019, out of 231 students who participated in the placement drive, approximately 128 students got placed in companies including IBM, Accenture, Morgan, and McAfee among others.

The institute, however, doesn’t share branch-wise placement statistics, but it does share a consolidated statistics. According to the placement statistics of the year 2019 shared by the institute, here are the highlights of the placement in M.Tech at IIIT Bangalore.

Remuneration Package

IIT Bhubaneswar ECE department had 86% placement in the year 2019. Students were offered a salary package of 8-11 lakhs per annum.

IIT Dhanbad ECE department has not seen better results in placement like IIT Bhubaneswar, as there was 60% placement from ECE in 2019. IIT Dhanbad is more popular for Mining Engineering with a placement percentage of 91%. ECE is IIT Dhanbad may not be a good choice.

IIT Patna ranks 26th in the Engineering category by NIRF 2020. It has seen the placement in the EEE department by more than half the number of students. Among 42 students 27 were placed from the EEE department with an average salary package of 11 lakhs per annum. Top recruiting companies included Samsung, Hewlett Packard, Intel, Mediatek, etc.

IIIT Bangalore is a Private institute and receives 100% placement. It offers internships as well as full-time employment. IIIT Bangalore has an MTech program and a dual degree program in CSE. The average salary package in 2018 was 17 lakhs per annum which is comparable with the older IITs.

All these institutions have their own pros and cons, so it’s difficult to determine which is the best choice.

One of the primary differences between the two institutes is the IIT tag. Before selecting any of the engineering institute the factors which should be taken care of are, the best faculties, a strong research area, strong alumni relations, and a supportive technical environment. So, IIT Bhubaneshwar provides the student with all these facilities, as the professors visit here from all over the world.

Many students are progressing their research here from big institutions like IISC, IIT Mumbai including some of the foreign universities namely Stanford University, Korean, and Shanghai University. Moreover in IIT Bhubaneswar, one more thing that adds a plus point is various CSE related clubs/societies namely Neuromensor and Web & Design Society. In these clubs, students are not only provided with the best faculty manage but also develop healthy competitiveness between the students.

The alumni network is one of the key factors for the development of graduates in the institution. IIT Bhubaneshwar has a very strong network with its alumni. Many alumni are working in big technical companies all over the world besides helping financially for the new startups. So, these are the reasons why to choose IIT Bhubaneshwar over IIITB.
