So looking at the above factors, it is observed that IIT Patna has an edge over the other IITs for Electrical Engineering or Mechanical Engineering course. 

If we talk about statistics and past records, IIT Bhubaneshwar is a better choice.

IIT’s have the best faculties in the country. The level of research work and the flexibility IITs provide is exceptional. The companies that come for placement purposes are also distinguished from other colleges. The infrastructure at IIT Bhubaneshwar is developed and the campus is very well sustained for overall development.

Since Electrical Engineering has been from the start of IIT BBS, placements are great there. The placements for the early years were not that great but for the last 2 years, the situation is incrementing. In 2019 the placement rate for EE at IIT Bhubaneswar was 86%. The highest package went around 39 LPA by Adobe.

Placements at BITs Hyderabad have been relatively lower with median CTC around 5 LPA and the highest CTC around 14 LPA. Around 94% of the students got placed from the campus last year.

Both the brands are prominent ones, but the level of exposure and opportunities that you will get at IIT Bhubaneshwar may overpower that of BITS Hyderabad.

• 87 students are placed from telecommunication branches with an average package of 8.63 LPA.
• Highest CTC offered for a TCE graduate is 38 LPA.
• Current placement rate of the telecommunication branch is 76%.
• Core companies visiting campus are very few which includes Aircel, Dell India, Motorola, Honeywell, LG Electronics. Thus most of the students from the telecommunication branch land up in IT sectors.

Aspirants must decide which college is best for them as per their passion towards the subjects. Comparatively, the telecommunication branch has less opportunities in RVCE or anywhere in India in general. It must be noted that if you aim for higher studies by clearing GATE, EEE has an upper hand as there is no paper for telecommunication thus aspirants must attend ECE paper.

PES University was ranked as the 6th best private university out of 50 universities in India by outlook in 2019. It is also ranked 93 for private engineering by NIRF 2020. The college is recognized by UGC, AICTE, and AACSB. It is one of the top private universities in Bangalore. The high rankings of the college don’t show the poor placements which the college has offered in the past year.

Placements:

• As compared to the previous years, the placements offered at PES University in core companies are fewer in number for the academic year 2019.

• Companies visit the college, but many of the students opting for higher students opt-out for the placements. Making the placement percentage high because of the fewer students present at the placement.

• There were a number of companies that recruited students. But in recent years the placement of the college in the Civil Engineering course has not been up the mark as promised by the college.

However, if you have a keen interest in Civil engineering, then you should not change their branch. Placements are not the only thing that needs to be focused on. Changing the branch will also not make any much difference as both the courses EEE and Civil Engineering provide more or less the same average package that is Rs 3-4 LPA. However, keep in mind that in recent times, there are also other colleges that are not able to fulfill the promised core placements for Civil.

Although Civil Engineering has poor core placements, there are many non-core companies which allow the students of Civil to sit for the placement. The average CTC offered by the non-core IT companies visiting the campus for the placement drive is 10 LPA.

Therefore, a student should keep in mind all the factors when changing a branch and not solely look at placements.

ISM Dhanbad is the better choice than IIT Bhubaneswar because of its better campus infrastructure and large alumni base as it is the older institute.

Biotechnology and EE are two very different branches to be compared with each other. But if you are not sure which branch you like more here are a few pointers about both the colleges which may help you make the decision.

IIT Bhubaneswar offers decent placements. The placement for EE was 86% in 2019 with an average salary of 11.44 LPA. IIT Bhubaneswar is divided into many schools instead of branches. School of Electrical Science has Electrical Engineering, Electronics and Communication Engineering, Instrumentation Engineering, Computer Science, and Knowledge Engineering. The infrastructure of IIT Bhubaneswar is good as it is newly built. Faculty members are qualified and well experienced. IIT Bhubaneswar is located outside Bhubaneswar city and the campus offers a good academic environment away from the city.

IIT Delhi is one of the top 3 IITs. The placements are better if we compare it to IIT Bhubaneswar with an average package of 16 LPA. Biotechnology is a very diverse course. Multiple options are available if one wants to go into research. In this department, the placements are not so good. Core companies hardly come for placements. But placements for non-core companies are open. The campus is small as compared to other IITs but the infrastructure is quite good. The college is right in the middle of the city and provides easy connectivity to another place.

Now, if you are looking for better college life go for IIT Delhi but if you are interested in EE go for IIT Bhubaneswar.
