Which should I prefer, ECE at IIT Bhubaneswar or COE at DTU?
I am a second-year student of ECE at IIT Bhubaneswar.
I think you can go for B.Tech ECE at IIT Bhubaneswar. Even though DTU is a reputed institute, it is mostly known in the Northern parts of India. On the other hand, IIT Bhubaneswar carries the IIT tag, which is recognised nationally and globally.
As a central institution, IIT Bhubaneswar has a more diverse crowd as compared to DTU (also because DTU has a huge Delhi quota). This allows for a better exposure and exchange of values. This will in turn, help you in your profession when dealing with people from diverse socio-cultural backgrounds.
ECE is as good a branch as CoE/CSE, and you can easily get a job at an IT firm by learning coding on the side. Moreover, ECE students are allowed to sit for a large number of IT companies during placements.
Here’s a comparison between IIT Bhubaneswar and DTU for your reference:
