IIT’s are the best engineering institutes of the country and IIT Bhubaneshwar ranks at 22 among the engineering colleges in India according to the NIRF Ranking of 2020. Since Electrical Engineering has been from the start of IIT Bhubaneswar, placements are great there. The curriculum of Electrical Engineering incorporates recent industry requirements. The placements for the early years were not that great but for the last 2 years, the situation is incrementing. In 2019 placement drive 86% of students from Electrical Engineering got placement and the average CTC offered at this IIT was 11.4 LPA. IIT’s have the best faculties in the country. The level of research work and the flexibility they provide is exceptional.
In 2019 the CSE department at NIT Nagpur had the highest number of job offers, 78. The average package was around 7 LPA which stands below IIT Bhubaneshwar.
The level of exposure and practical experience at IIT is exceptional and would help in developing extracurricular skills and potential development. So, between NIT Nagpur CSE and IIT Bhubaneswar EE, IIT Bhubaneswar EE is the better choice.
Indian Institute of Technology (IIT) Bhubaneswar and BITS Pilani are among top Institutions of India. IIT Bhubaneswar and BITS Pilani are ranked 22 and 27 in the engineering category respectively by NIRF in 2020. The admissions in both the Institute is done through national level examinations.
