Facilities
IIEST: The institute offers facilities such as halls of residence, Library, Labs, Canteen, School, etc. It also provides medical facilities like hospitals and ambulances, sports and games clubs, and entrepreneurship activities.
VNIT: Students are offered Hostels, Guesthouse, Gymnasium, Sports, Health Centre, and Library facilities within the 215 acres campus. There are clubs and community shops as well.
Students must compare both the programs and colleges carefully. The decision depends on an individual’s capabilities and expectations from college life.
IIT Indore is among the highly sought after technical institutes.
Metallurgy is a sub branch of Mechanical Engineering. The College IIT Indore is great according to the placement statistics. IIT Indore had 90% placement in 2018-2019 with an average annual salary package of 18 lakhs per annum and the highest being 43 lakhs per annum. Recruiters at IIT Indore include companies like Tata Steel, JSW Steel, Steel Authority of India Limited (SAIL), VISA Steel, Tata Iron and Steel Company Limited (TISCO), etc.
IIT Bhubaneswar is just behind IIT Indore. It has seen 85% placements in 2019 with an average annual salary package of 15 lakhs per annum for undergraduates, marking an increase of 25% over the last year. The highest domestic package offered was worth 43 lakhs per annum.
IIT Bhubaneswar also has collaborations with many foreign universities like University of Warwick, University of Southampton, University of Massachusetts Dartmouth, University of Western Ontario, University of New York, University of North Dakota USA, and McGill University.
To conclude, both institutes are equally good due to their placement percentage being somewhat similar. Both colleges have the same major recruiters such as COAL India, TATA Advanced Systems, TATA Steel Group, DRDO, Usha Martin, JCAP, etc.
Metallurgical Engineering program in IIT Bhubaneswar is quite good. A few of the subjects in the course include Polymers & Nanocomposites, Materials in archaeology, Materials recycling and sustainability, etc. The faculty of the metallurgy department are well qualified and experienced. The college provides a research-oriented environment and the curriculum also includes a number of field trips as it is located in Odisha which is blessed with minerals. Students also gain a major exposure through internships which they attain the second year of the course. The annual fees charged by the college is close to 2.13 LPA INR for its B. Tech course.
120 students appeared for the placement season of 2018-19. 90% of the Metallurgical Branch got placed in the year 2018-19. The average package offered was 11.44 LPA INR. 89 companies visited the campus in the year 2018-19. Few of the top recruiters include TATA Steel, Reliance Industries, and PSUs like IOCL, DRDO, ONGC, etc.
IIT Bhubaneswar is renowned in the metallurgical engineering and material science department. It has well qualified and experienced teaching faculty. As IIT Kharagpur is the mentor institute of IIT Bhubaneswar, the coursework follows IIT Kharagpur’s curriculum. IIT Bhubaneswar is located in Odisha's mineral state and provides numerous opportunities for essential experience in fieldwork and job sites. According to 2019 placement highlights, 90% of students from metallurgical engineering and material science department got placed. The average CTC offered was around 11.4 LPA.
Now for IIT Indore, it has gained rapid popularity for its coding community and the quality of the computer science curriculum. This resulted in a step back at the development of other core branches, mainly metallurgical engineering. In 2019 the placement rate at IIT Indore was 99% with an average CTC of 16.06 LPA.
The fact is that there are not many students interested to enroll this field of engineering. This results in a lot of the students opting for electives/optional subjects like coding, data science, etc. and then get placed in a non-core job (not linked with metallurgical engineering).
Based on these above factors, Bhubaneswar is preferred than Indore as it is situated and connected to Steel and Mining Industry and hence provides more job opportunities.
It depends on which course you are interested in. Both subjects have their own concept, CSE is coding based and Metallurgy is based on chemistry. But among all the private engineering colleges RVCE is famous in Bangalore. Most of the students prefer RVSC college for CSE.
If you want to compare these two educational institutes on the basis of their infrastructure, placement wide, laboratory management, and laboratory construction RVCE will be the advanced one as compares to IIT Bhubaneswar. RVCE offers an average salary package of 11-15 lakhs per annum to CSE students whereas IIT Bhubaneswar offers 11.44 lakhs per annum for metallurgy and material science students.
RVCE library consists of 1720 books and the laboratory has 316 computer systems. Whereas IIT Bhubaneswar being a new IIT is still in the developing phase in terms of infrastructure. Also, CSE offers more job opportunities as compared to Metallurgy.
Recruiters like Yahoo, Amazon, PayPal, Microsoft, etc. visit RVCE to find potential candidates for their company. Both the institute’s design syllabus in such a way to crack any entrance examination like GATE for higher studies but RVCE is a little more advance as they have their various students organization like CSI chapter and IEE students chapter.
The scope of Metallurgical and Materials engineering or that of any engineering depends largely on where your inclinations lie and how much you are willing to work for it. There are several rare cases wherein a student of Biotechnology, the least preferred branch of engineering, is offered to a good company with a very high package.
IIT Roorkee and in fact, most IITs have low core opportunities but many non-core opportunities. That being said, it’s advisable for an IITian to learn to code for future security. IIT Roorkee offers the perfect culture to learn to code.
It’s a well-known fact that Sundar Pichai, CEO of Google, was also a BTech in metallurgy from IIT KGP. So I would like to conclude by saying that even if there are no opportunities at your door, create one!
Like any other person, I give more emphasis on average packages to judge a particular course or an Institute. Here, the average package of Metallurgy at IIT Madras is INR 15 LPA whereas that of ECE at IIT Hyderabad is INR 29 LPA.
Now, many people may not find the average package justifiable criteria to judge a course. For them, I have listed some points about both institutes and they are free to make a decision based on what appeals to them the most.
IIIT Hyderabad
IIT Madras
All in all, IIT Madras offers a more laid back experience while IIIT Hyderabad strictly focuses on core studies.
My friend graduated from IIT Madras a few months ago and was devastated by the placement scenario of her branch. It almost seems that only Electrical and Computer Science students were eligible for decent placements, rest all suffered.
Talking about Metallurgy specifically, he did not find a single core company visiting the campus for placements almost as if the branch was non-existent. He was told to maintain a good CGPA of 7-8+ for core roles but no core company visited.
In case you are looking for a high-paying non-core job, which is the case for most IITians, you will have to appear for several written and online exams not related to your specialization. You will have to make a good resume by including extra skills, developing your personality, and going the extra mile in your academics to achieve a high-paying job.
Concludingly, Metallurgy has little or no core job prospects so you will have to work hard to get non-core jobs.
