The choice should be based on the branch you are interested in. Among all the branches mentioned in the question, Electronics is the one highly ranked concerning the opportunities available in the industry. Also, Electronics is the most sought branch in IIT BHU along with CSE. According to 2019 placement statistics out of 100 students from the electronics engineering branch, 88 got placed.

Mechanical Engineering ranks a bit low in IIT BHU in comparison to Electronics. Though Mechanical Engineers find several opportunities in the form of PSUs and government organizations in India. In 2019 placement drive 109 students from the mechanical engineering department got placed. The average CTC offered in IIT BHU was around 8.19 lakhs.

Aerospace engineers in India have very limited opportunities after graduation Aerospace Engineering department at IIT Madras has good opportunities and exposure in comparison to many institutes in India. Hindustan Aeronautics Limited and Indian Space Research Organisation also hail from the southern part of India and this might help in the placement procedure though several students look for non- core opportunities or Masters in Design Engineering for a better future in India. When placements are concerned, IIT Madras has a slight edge over IIT Kanpur. As far as foreign universities are concerned, many students get summer internships abroad in the USA, Germany, Russia, France, and Italy from both the institutes. Many students go for MS and Ph.D. programs in esteemed Universities like the University of Maryland, Stanford University, Purdue University, etc. Though getting internships and foreign university admissions entirely depend on how hard one works irrespective of which IIT they belong to.

Which is better: IIT BHU or BITS, Pilani ?

MS
Mayank Sharma Posted On : August 14th, 2020
B.E. (Mechanical ) from Birla Institute of Technology and Science, Pilani (2020)

Although both colleges are highly reputed, IIT BHU has a slight edge over BITS Pilani for the IIT tag. Also, for securing a place in IIT BHU one needs to qualify the JEE Advanced exam which is one of the toughest exams. On the contrary, BITS Pilani requires you to qualify BITSAT, which is comparatively easier than JEE Advance.

Admission and semester fees at IIT BHU is far less than BITS Pilani. This is because BITS Pilani is a private institute, while IIT BHU is a centrally funded institute. In addition to these factors, IIT BHU provides a number of courses to choose from which are not offered by other reputed universities. Some of such courses are Ceramic Engineering, Pharmaceutical Engineering, and Mining Engineering. Both these institutes offer experienced faculties from subject backgrounds. Also, if you aspire to go for higher studies in future, you should give precedence to IIT BHU over BITS Pilani, as having the hallmark of IIT offers a lot of opportunities.

BITS Pilani conducts 3 fests which are -BOSM, OASIS, APOGEE. IIT BHU, on the other hand, conducts SPARDHA, KASHI YATRA, TECHNEX. OASIS is one of the largest fests in the country.

Both IIT BHU and BITS, Pilani are good institutions and have their pros and cons, so choose according to your convenience.

Sritama Singha Posted On : August 14th, 2020
Indian Institute of Technology Varanasi (IIT BHU)

IIT BHU and IIT Bhubaneswar are ranked 11th and 22nd respectively by the engineering category NIRF 2020.

IIT BHU being an older institute does have a large alumni network which results in good placements but it lacks modern infrastructure which is better in IIT Bhubaneswar. Being a new IIT, IIT Bhubaneswar has better hostels than any other IITs. Thus in terms of infrastructure, IIT Bhubaneswar is better than IIT BHU.

IIT BHU is located in Varanasi which is not the capital city of Uttar Pradesh but IIT Bhubaneswar is located in the capital city of Orissa giving it the advantage of better connectivity with the metropolis, airport and as a result, it attracts more multinational companies.

The closing rank in IIT BHU for CS is under 1000 and that of IIT Bhubaneswar is under 2500. Thus students with a better rank often choose IIT BHU. Coding Culture, Faculty, etc. are also better in IIT BHU.

Placements are also better in IIT BHU for Computers than IIT Bhubaneswar. But despite being a newly established institute the first batch in Computers of IIT Bhubaneswar got placed with an average salary package of 15 lakhs per annum.

So, IIT BHU is a better choice for computer compared to IIT Bhubaneswar is also worth considering because their Computer Engineering department is the most popular. In 2019 placement in Computer Engineering was 100%.

Is the content taught in CSE in IIT Bombay tougher than that taught in IIT BHU?

SS
Samita Saha Posted On : August 14th, 2020
B.Tech CSE from IIT Bombay (2020)

CSE has been at the top and has become the branch that has ruled over core branches for more than a decade now. Even though CSE course works are given specific modifications by each college separately, though the major outline of the course work is still quite similar.

IIT Bombay has explicitly designed the course for CSE to provide students more in-depth knowledge about algorithms by introducing subjects such as Discrete Structures, Data Analysis and Interpretation, and Introduction to Electrical and Electronics Circuits. These subjects are mainly introduced to help students develop skill sets required to understand how a machine works and to give a deeper understanding of how to analyze data and structure. These particular subjects are introduced prior to Coding so that it would enhance their understanding which directly relates to a better understanding of Algorithms.

Whereas the course works of IIT BHU involve subjects such as Probability and Statistics, Engineering Mechanics, and Discrete Math. Though, these subjects are important but not as challenging as proposed by IIT-Bombay. Subjects such as Algorithms, Operating Systems and Artificial Intelligence are introduced by IIT BHU in the 4th Semester, and in comparison to IIT-B, it can be said that CSE course work of IIT BHU provides students a slow start.
