Which is a better option: IIT Bombay mechanical vs IIT Kanpur electrical vs IIT Roorkee CS?

A
Admin Posted On : June 25th, 2024

The general preference order is 

  • College wise - IIT Bombay > IIT Kanpur > IIT Roorkee
  • Branch wise - CS > Mechanical ~ Electrical.

However, this is a popular trend, and you don't have to follow it. It is best to make a decision based on your individual preferences.

Doing something that interests you is considerably superior in the long run to doing something you dislike solely for money since, after a few years, money no longer motivates you.

Here are some information to make your decision easier:-

  • The placement scenario for EE in IIT Kanpur is good and stands next to the CS department in the table.
  • Though EE is the largest department when compared with others it still maintains its record well in placements.
  • The NIRF Ranking of IIT Bombay is 3, IIT Kanpur is 4 and IIT Roorkee is 5.
  • The Average placement at IIT Bombay Mechanical is 21.82 LPA with IIT Kanpur Electrical is 26.27 LPA and IIT Roorkee CSE is 22 LPA.
  • More than 250 companies visited IIT Kanpur campus in 2023.
  • EE offers specialisations like VLSI, SPCom, RF & Microwave, Power Engineering, Control & Automation. Placements for some of these specializations are 100 %, especially for VLSI, SPCom & RF.

Keeping aside the public’s opinion, my preference order is

 IIT Kanpur Electrical > IIT Roorkee CS > IIT Bombay Mechanical

ECE has more job opportunities than Mechanical Engineering. After completing Mechanical Engineering, you will get jobs in PSUs, in government organizations.

  • If you are looking for a job after B.Tech or M.Tech then ECE will be a good option for you.
  • But if you want to pursue higher studies and looking to go into a research field then choose according to your interest.

In the following table, you will get basic information about Mechanical at NIT Calicut and ECE at NIT Jamshedpur.

Category NIT Jamshedpur ECE NIT Calicut Mechanical
Fees INR 1.88 Lakh (1st Year) INR 1.25 Lakh
Recruiters Amazon, Unacademy, Global Logic, Humming Wave, etc. Cognizant, Samsung, Accolite, Aditya Birla Capital, etc.

Which one is better: aerospace engineering in IIT Kanpur, aerospace engineering in IIT Madras, mechanical engineering IIT BHU, or ECE in IIT BHU?

A
Admin Posted On : June 21st, 2024

First of all you need to lose this ideology that ECE has more scope and mechanical or aerospace engineering has less scope. Every field has top notch research going in it and provides dynamic and challenging work opportunities. 

I also had the same dilemma and I chose Aerospace engineering at IIT Madras over other departments due to following reasons:-

  • IIT Madras has state of the art facilities that focus on practical and industry oriented knowledge.
  • The syllabus of Aerospace follows the latest curriculum and incorporates the latest industry trends such as Structures, Aerodynamics, Propulsion, Controls, and System Design.
  • IIT Madras is in the heart of the city with a lot of entertainment hubs nearby.
  • IIT Kanpur has a NIRF ranking of 4th with IIT Madras at 1st and IIT BHU at 15th.
  • The Average salary for IIT BHU Mechanical and ECE is 12.5 LPA and 22.85 LPA.
  • The Average package for IIT Madras Aerospace Engineering is 21 LPA.
  • The Average package for IIT Kanpur Aerospace Engineering is 20 LPA.

Is it better to take CSE at NIT Surathkal or mechanical engineering at IIT-KGP?

AR
Aditi Roy Posted On : September 15th, 2023
lives in Gwalior, Madhya Pradesh, India

The answer to this question depends mainly on your interest. Mechanical and CSE are diverse branches with diverse scopes. You need to analyze your own inclination only then can you make a sound decision. If you aren’t sure if the branch you can decide based on your future goals.

  • If you want to land a job right after graduation that too a decent package, choose CSE over Mechanical because that branch has more job opportunities. 
  • If you are planning to pursue higher studies, especially in Physics-related courses, choose Mechanical. The branch is very intriguing and opens many doors to higher studies. 
  • If you value colleges over branches then choose IIT KGP as it’s way ahead of NIT Surathkal. 

Lastly, I will advise you to opt for Mechanical only in first and second-generation IITs. So you can opt for NIT Surathkal or Trichy over third-generation IITs but not over first and second-generation IITs. Hope this clears my point.

BITS, Pilani EEE or IIT-BHU Mechanical?

AB
Akriti Banerjee Posted On : June 16th, 2023
lives in New Delhi

I would always recommend you to go for BITS Pilani EEE over IIT BHU Mechanical. Here are a few points justifying my stance.

Academics: BITS Pilani EEE curriculum is modern and as per industry standards. The branch has a highly qualified pool of professors who make use of modern teaching methodologies and conduct lively sessions. the number of top-tier MS in EE, the infrastructure, and top-notch placements all prove the same. The infrastructure at IIT BHU is deteriorating and the labs are equipped with obsolete instruments bringing down the academic quality of the institute.

Network: BITS has a very elaborate alumni network and gives an edge to IIT BHU.The BITS network (BITSAA) is very well organized and the close-knit nature of the BITSian community is rarely matched by IITs.

Brand: Society in general considers the IIT tag to be of superior quality whereas the recruiters and top universities are aware of the BITS influence and thus it enjoys an equally good brand name. Moreover, the IIT branch seems to have diluted with the increase in batch size and the opening of new IITs. The top recruiters know the difference between old and new IITs and thus the packages offered are different. BITS is known for its cutting-edge infrastructure and no-reservation policy.

Overall, BITS is the best option for you!
