Is it better to study the CSE branch at 2nd generation IIT like Patna, Bhubaneswar, or prefer mechanical engineering at Roorkee, Guwahati, or Kharagpur?
Infrastructure isn’t a key parameter for CSE. So, if you are interested in pursuing Computer Science, you can consider 2nd generation IITs like Patna, and Bhubaneswar. The quality of academics won’t vary much compared to older IITs.
For CSE, what matters more is your knowledge and skills, rather institute name. If you are among the top 10% of your class, you can compete with top rankers from old IITs.
Which is better, CS at IIT Bhubaneswar, mechanical at IIT KGP, or electrical at IIT Roorkee?
IIT KGP Mechanical is the best option among these. It is the oldest among these institutes and ranks in the top 5 technological institutes in the country consistently. So, you will have the leverage of better brand recognition.
The placement rate for Mechanical students is around 75%. Companies like Tata Motors, Mercedes, etc. visit IIT Kharagpur placements to recruit Mech students. The average package offered for this branch is around INR 12 LPA. The highest CTC offered goes up to INR 32 LPA.
What is a better option, an industrial and system engineering at IIT-Kharagpur or an electrical engineering at IIT Bhubaneswar ?
IIT Bhubaneswar Electrical Engineering is a better option than IIT KGP Industrial and System Engineering. It has a better placement record. Here are the highlights of IIT Bhubaneswar placements 2022 for EE.
| Parameters | Statistics (2022) |
| Average CTC | INR 22.40 LPA |
| Median CTC | INR 19.25 LPA |
| Lowest CTC | INR 9.65 LPA |
| Highest CTC | INR 44.10 LPA |
| Placement rate | 98.15% |
Google, Amazon, Microsoft, etc. are among the major recruiters that hire from the branch.
How was the placement of IIT Kharagpur in 2019?
For the 2019 batch, more than 1300 students received job offers in the first phase of placements. On the first day of the placement drive, 5 students bagged packages exceeding INR 1 Crore per annum.
A total of 220 companies registered for the placement process from different sectors like Software, Analytics, Consulting, Banking, Finance, etc for the first phase. Microsoft and Goldman Sachs were the top recruiters on the first day of placement with 24 and 14 job offers respectively. Apart from that for summer placements, the students of the institute received more than 500 internship offers.
The top international recruiter was Japan with the maximum no. of offers made. Out of the 23 international offers made across all the placement days, there were a total of 11 offers made by the 4 Japanese firms. To add to this there were 16 new companies that participated in the placement process including ARPWood Capital, Bidgely, Blackrock, and AB InBev. Rakuten was another Japanese firm that was a late addition and made more international offers. There were offers made by German companies as well for the first time in the history of IIT Kharagpur.

The maximum no. of job offers was made by companies like Flipkart, Qualcomm, and JP Morgan. The average CTC for the whole batch remained stagnant at 15 LPA.
What is better for mathematics and computing, IIT Kanpur vs IIT Kharagpur vs IIT Guwahati vs IIT BHU?
If you are interested in CSE but choosing Mathematics and Computing just for the sake of overlapping courses, then trust me you are making the wrong decision. I have seen many CSE branch seekers taking Mathematics and Computer to land CSE-related jobs. Let me tell you frankly, Mathematics and Computing are no substitutes for Computer Science.
If you want to get a deeper understanding of this, go through the Syllabus of Mathematics. You will find most courses that are theoretical, abstract, and purely mathematical and very few courses related to Computer Science. Mathematics at IITs is not everyone’s cup of tea. It is extremely tough, unlike JEE Math.
However, if you are passionate about Mathematics and want to pursue a research career in it, go for it. The courses might include lengthy proofs of Mathematical Induction and set and relation theory. Discuss the curriculum once with students of Mathematics at IIT and then make the final decision. Usually, the coursework in Mathematics and Computing is the same for all the IIT Branches.
To sum it up, if you are planning to take Mathematics and Computers just for the CSE courses, please make a better decision. My best advice would be to go for CSE in a better engineering college like IIT Hyderabad or Indore.
Which is better among IIT Madras aerospace, IIT Kharagpur industrial and systems engineering, and IIT Bhubaneswar CSE (dual degree)?
If you don’t have any inclination towards a specific branch, you should choose IIT Madras Aerospace Engineering. The institute has a well-developed campus with all basic amenities such as LAN, library, computer center, etc. IIT Madras has an excellent student crowd. You will get good peer learning opportunities.
According to IIT Madras placements of recent years, Aerospace Engineering students receive salary packages in the range of INR 6 - 30 LPA. SpiceJet, Airbus, Air India, etc. are some of the major recruiters of the branch.
Which is better, IIT Bhubaneswar ECE or IIT Kharagpur Aerospace ?
IIT Bhubaneswar ECE is a better choice among these. It offers better placements. IIT Bhubaneswar placements 2022 had witnessed an average CTC of INR 22.40 LPA for ECE. 100% of students got placed from the branch. The highest CTC offered was INR 44.10 LPA.
Aerospace Engineering is a niche field. The career prospect in Aerospace is limited. Choose IIT KGP, only if you are passionate about the field and want to pursue higher studies.
What should be the preference order between: IIT KGP, IITR, IITG and IIT BHU? Why?
IIT KGP has been ranking among the top IITs for over a decade now. It is widely recognized globally. If you are planning on pursuing higher education overseas, doing your degree from IIT KGP can help you a lot. In fact, having a degree from IIT KGP gives you maximum leverage to choose whatever career path you want in engineering.
Although IIT BHU and IIT Roorkee became IITs later, there are very old institutes. Both BHU and Roorkee have immense respect in the academic world, all across the globe. But these two aren’t considered among the top 5 IITs when it comes to international reputation and career opportunities.
IIT Guwahati was established quite recently. But it has made an immense stride in this limited time period. The only downside for the institute is the limited alumni network and industry recognition.
When compared generally, the preference order of these institutes will be -
IIT KGP>IIT BHU=IITR>IITG
However, before choosing any of these institutes, you should consider your interest. Choose the best institute that you are getting for your branch of choice.
What should I join, IIT Bhubaneswar for CSE or IIT Kharagpur for mechanical engineering?
IIT Kharagpur is a much notable and popular IIT. It is one of the older IITs, making it more reliable and popular among students and professionals alike. It is the first IIT to be established. It ranks 5th in the Engineering category by NIRF 2020. The cut off for Mechanical Engineering in IIT Kharagpur ranged from 1500-5000. Companies like Amazon, Adobe, Cypress, Deshaw are among the top recruiters at IIT Kharagpur. An average salary package of 14 lakhs per annum was provided to students recruited in MNCs in 2019 placement. Being the oldest of the IITs the faculty is more experienced and IIT Kharagpur offers many facilities like hostels, Food Courts, Library, Hospital, 2 Stadiums along with swimming pool and gym all within the campus, making it a society of their own.
