How do I choose between IIT Delhi engineering physics, civil, production & industrial, and chemical engineering?
I will restrict my answer to Engineering Physics and Chemicals only as I know the same only.
- The major criterion followed at IIT Delhi by all the branches is a well-maintained CG. To secure good placements one has to constantly score a good CG throughout the program.
- During your admission, the department does not play any role but your 85 percent constraint on minimum possible strength does.
- Engineering Physics is a unique branch for those highly passionate about Physics and want to pursue higher studies in the same
- To secure core jobs, one has to move to MTech in Engineering Physics from BTech in Engineering Physics.
- For Chemical Engineering students, BTech is more than enough to secure decent packages and great research opportunities outside India.
- Consultancy and Analytics jobs are offered equally to students of all the departments
- Engineering Physics graduates usually take up consultancy or IT jobs
- Chemical Engineering is the most laid-back department of IIT Delhi with very flexible academics thus making it easy to maintain a decent CG throughout.
I wouldn’t suggest anyone go for Engineering Physics if they have no intention of pursuing it later. Instead, look for other options in BTech and explore your interests.
What percentage of civil engineering students at IIT Madras end up taking core civil engineering jobs?
The exact percentage is difficult to tell because the data is available only with the Training and Placement Cell of IIT Madras. The biggest problem with Civil Engineering is that you will not get any immediate opportunities in the same stream. So many of the students who need a job immediately with a good pay package usually shift to other streams.
It is not the case that people are not interested in pursuing core civil engineering jobs. But they want to study what can give them jobs immediately. Unfortunately, this is difficult in core civil engineering jobs. These jobs demand higher degrees which the undergraduate students lack and thus are not considered.
Which college is better: the RV College of Engineering or the MIT Manipal for civil engineering?
I have friends from both RV College of Engineering and MIT Manipal, civil engineering holds the same value from either of them. It is because they both follow the same curriculum and guidelines laid by UGC and AICTE. However, both of them hold an edge over each other in their own way. Here’s why:
- MIT Manipal holds a bigger brand value as civil engineering was one of the branches it started and is known for. Other such branches include chemical and mechanical.
- If you are looking for better placements, RV College might be the right choice as it is located in Bangalore which clearly means more opportunities.
- Even if you are getting a computer science branch in MIT Manipal, go for it without a second thought.
The table below shows a brief insight of both institutes:

How is the placement for civil engineering in Nirma university?
B.Tech is the flagship course of all the courses offered to undergraduate students. The placements for this course are as good as those of any NIT or IIT. Big names such as Morgan Stanley and another tech, financial, and management companies visit the campus to offer placements to its students.
Looking at the market’s current scenario, most of the students at Nirma University choose to go for pursuing their Masters in Business Studies. They even end up going abroad for pursuing core subjects while some even join their family business. The placements at Nirma University do not manage to generate that sort of hype. This is seen most often during the placements for the students of the department of civil engineering.
Prepare yourself for the future during the time you are pursuing your degree. The college prepares you for facing the world. Hone your skills and you will get huge positive responses from potential recruiters during your placements.
The highest recorded package offered to the students of Nirma University during placement is INR 46.27 LPA. The top recruiters are Infosys, HDFC, Reliance, etc.
Is civil engineering at NIT, Kurukshetra better than CSE (computer science and engineering) at PEC University of Technology?
It's difficult to choose one between NIT Kurukshetra Civil and OEC Chandigarh CSE because both branches are different with diverse scopes and opportunities. You will have to consider a lot of parameters while choosing one of these
Personally I will suggest you opt for the CS branch unless you have any specific inclination towards civil engineering or any other branch. The excellent placements of this branch are not the only reason I am suggesting you go for it. The courses taught are rather easy and can be covered through self-study which may not be possible for Civil.
You are aware of the academic situation of most engineering colleges these days. Most professors have no interest in teaching. I believe that if you can get CS in PEC you can also get CS in NIT Kurukshetra. It has a better alumni network so it's a better option than PEC. Civil students will have options like research internships, masters or Ph.D. later, get into IES, etc.
Here is a comparison of a few statistics that might help you further make a well-informed decision.

Did I make a mistake in choosing civil engineering at DTU and leaving COE at Thapar University?
Choosing COE at Thapar University over DTU Civil Engineering isn’t a mistake. Compared to Civil, COE has more career opportunities. Thapar University is a reputed private university and offers good placement opportunities for COE. Around 90% of students get placed from the branch. According to the highlights of Thapar University placements 2022, the average CTC for COE is around INR 13 LPA.
Should I prefer civil engineering in IIT Hyderabad or CSE in RVCE?
My suggestion would be to opt for IIT Hyderabad Civil Engineering and prepare for a branch change.
IITs cannot be compared to any private college other than BITS. Even if you are unable to change your branch, don’t feel disheartened as the IIT Brand name is more than enough.
I know many people who were part of the Chemical, Biotech, and Civil Engineering branches of IIT and are earning more than 12 LPA currently. Irrespective of the branch you belong to, IITs offer an excellent coding culture making you proficient in the same. The quality of peer groups you will be interacting with is also better at IITs than at private colleges like RVCE.
All in all, IIT as a brand is better than RVCE and other private colleges except BITS.
What should I prefer IIT Guwahati civil, IIT Bhubaneswar Electrical, IIT Patna electrical and electronics, or IIT Kanpur material science?
All the mentioned institutions offer good academic opportunities for students. But in my opinion, Electrical from IIT Bhubaneswar is a better choice than IIT Guwahati Civil, IIT Patna Electrical and Electronics and IIT Kanpur Material Science.
- IIT Bhubaneswar offers undergraduate and postgraduate programs in electrical engineering.
- The average course fee for the four years of BTech in EE from IIT Bhubaneswar is around INR 10 Lakhs.
- IIT Bhubaneswar is known for offering good placement for its students around 92.86% of students were placed in the placement drive.
- The highest package is INR 44.62 LPA, and the average package is INR 19.05 LPA.
Is IIT Bhubaneswar's Civil Engineering better than IIT Guwhati's Design?
As a student of IIT Bhubaneswar, civil engineering at IIT Bhubaneswar is better than IIT Guwhati's design. I can share some insights about the institution.
- IIT Bhubaneswar has a dual full-time 5-year course, B. Tech in Civil Engineering and M.Tech in Transportation Engineering.
- The placement records for IIT Bhubaneswar are good, with 80% of the students placed in the year 2023.
