Which is better, IIT Bhubaneswar for an M.Tech in EEE or IIT Dhanbad for EEE?
B.Tech courses are preferred than MTech. courses by most students as BTech courses offer more placements. M.Tech is a more research-based program.
IIT Dhanbad is an older institution than IIT Bhubaneswar and offers a large alumni base. IIT Dhanbad ranks 42 among Indian universities.
If you are interested in taking up a research-based course that focuses more on academics you can opt for MTech in EEE from IIT Bhubaneswar but if you are looking for placements then a BTech in EEE from IIT Dhanbad will be better.
As IIT Dhanbad is a more reputed Institute when it comes to reliability. 75% students are placed in IIT Dhanbad in this year in the EEE department (BTech). The average salary offered to an EEE graduate is 15.5 lakhs per annum. MTech Students from IIT Bhubaneswar have a 68% placement rate in Core Engineering Departments, being offered a salary package of 10-16 lakhs per annum.
Lastly, it depends on your choice but to study MTech in EEE you need to complete BTech with at least 60% in aggregate. If you want to research further instead of working MTech will be a better choice after your graduation.
Which is better, electrical at IIT Bhubaneswar, IIT Dhanbad or NIT Trichy?
NIT Trichy offers a great learning experience, especially in CS. EE at IIT Dhanbad and IIT Bhubaneshwar is also decent and the placements are quite good and with either of the IITs, you would get that IIT tag. So, it actually boils down to your choice between an IIT and NIT and if you want to give preference to IITs.
The average package for EE at NIT Trichy was around 6 LPA with a 97% placement rate for EE students. On the other hand, for IIT Dhanbad, the placement percentage was 76% with the average package of around 15.5 LPA. In IIT Bhubaneshwar, the average package for 2019 was around 11 LPA and the placement rate was around 86% from EE.
Although, the tag isn’t only something one should go after. NIT Trichy’s EE is excellent and the placements are equally great. Good infrastructure, excellent teachers, and a decent learning and developing environment are what one should seek, and thereby, NIT Trichy would be an excellent choice since IIT Dhanbad and IIT Bhubaneshwar are newer IITs. NIT Trichy, Warangal, Surathkal are better than most IITs.
So, it completely comes down to your personal preference.
How is the civil engineering better in Dhanbad compared to IIT Bhubaneswar?

IIT Bhubaneswar also offers a good Civil Engineering program. In 2019, 89% of students were placed from the Civil Engineering department. The average CTC offered was around 11.4 LPA.
One major thing is that Dhanbad is an underdeveloped city with not so much infrastructure, whereas Bhubaneswar being capital and has better connectivity and more MNCs visit IIT Bhubaneswar.
Both IIT Bhubaneswar and IIT Dhanbad offer good Civil Engineering programs both in terms of academics and placements. But in IIT Dhanbad changing branch is easier as there is the availability of more seats.

Which is better?, to get Biotechnology? at IIT Kanpur? or Mechanical? Engineering? at IIT(ISM), Dhanbad?
First of all, IIT Kanpur does not offer Biotechnology, rather it offers Biological Sciences and Bioengineering. This is a good choice for those who don’t have any specific interests and are ready to study biology. In IIT Kanpur your CPI values much more than your branch. So don’t waste too much time deciding on one and just go for any of it.
Placements: IIT Kanpur has both core and noncore jobs in abundance. Core jobs are a bit lesser than non-core jobs with only a handful of core companies. However, the majority of recruiters offer non-core jobs for which the only requirement is a good CPI. Here, your branch does not matter and the role offered is nothing related to your branch. To a certain extent, non-core packages offered are better than core packages so most students prefer this.
Curriculum: The ocean of electives available to choose from at IIT Kanpur, makes it possible for students to explore much more than their branch. You are also eligible to do a major or minor in any other branch provided you fulfill its minimum CPI criteria. IIT Kanpur also has a branch change faculty at the end of the first year. All this flexibility makes IIT Kanpur’s curriculum a much coveted one.
Lastly, I would like to comment that your choice of Institute is also crucial. The opportunities and exposure offered matter a lot and IIT Kanpur offers it all!
For MSc in Geology, which will be the better option? IIT Roorkee or ISM Dhanbad?
The choice of the Institute depends on where your interest lies. If you want to study core Geology, then 3-year MSc(tech) course is an excellent option. Both the institutes have below-average core placements with ISM fairing a tad bit better. Irrespective of the Institute and branch, to secure placements you need to be among the top rankers.
My cousin had to choose between IIT Kharagpur‘s MSc in Geophysics and ISM’s MSc(tech) in Geology. She went for Geophysics eventually as he did not consider it wise to waste 3-years in a post-graduate program. In Fact, many of her batchmates dropped IIT Roorkee’s geology and went for Geophysics at IIT KGP. They did not find the teaching and quality of education at IIT Roorkee’s Geology branch as per IIT standards.
I would suggest you go for ISM. But if you too share the same opinion as mine and don’t want to waste 3 years, go for Roorkee and prepare for GATE from the start.
Which is better, Applied Mathematics at IIT Roorkee or Mathematics and Computing at ISM Dhanbad?
Both IIT Roorkee and ISM Dhanbad are reputed Engineering institutions offering excellent education as well as opportunities. Being an IIT, Roorkee does have a slight advantage over ISM, though ISM too is going to be an IIT one day.
The infrastructure of both institutes is equally good with IIT Roorkee having a slight advantage over ISM because of its early establishment. However, ISM is fast developing and has a beautiful campus. It’s going to house Asia's largest library soon.
Branch-wise, both Applied Mathematics and MNC comprise Mathematical concepts but with a different perspectives. Applied Mathematics has pure math and only those who want to pursue research in the same should go for it. MNC on the other hand is a blend of Maths as well as Computing (coding) and is more in demand than Applied Mathematics. Its scope is also wider than APM and has better placement opportunities.
Eventually, it’s a matter of preferences and not the credibility and worth of the branch that you should focus on.
