Both IIT BHU and IIT Roorkee offer good placements to the students of Civil Engineering branch. The 2023 placement figures for both institutions are quite promising.
Branch change in IIT Roorkee depends on the specific circumstances and the branch you are looking to change to. In general, it can be a complex process that involves meeting certain requirements and going through an application and review process.
The entire process is easy and difficult at the same time as it requires serious dedication and determination you had while preparing for JEE. You will have to keep yourself away from distractions to be able to achieve this. This might sound easier than done. So it’s better to train yourself to be disciplined and motivate yourself for branch change.
A fresher at IIT Roorkee lives his life to the fullest during the first year. They will find a family among their roommates and friends and will develop a homely feeling towards the college.
The life of freshers at IIT Roorkee is definitely an enthralling experience.
Based on different factors, you can categorize the IITs into various groups. For example, academically, the top IITs are IIT Kanpur, IIT KGP, and IIT Bombay. Similarly, IIT Guwahati is known for its top-notch accommodation facilities with single rooms allotted to every student. The campus encompassed by natural beauty is second only to IIT Roorkee.
Universities like IIT BHU and IT BHU despite being old, haven’t been able to reach the level of IIT Kanpur or Kharagpur. However, it does give a slight edge to IIT Delhi in terms of academics
Honestly, every student is aware of the actual credibility of his institute and chooses it anyway.
Either the Institute aligns with his preferences or that particular IIT was the only IIT he could make it into. So IITians don’t usually fight amongst themselves unless it’s an outsider trying to trigger them.
My answer might contrast with the opinion of many. Most people go after IIT Roorkee dual degree and consider it a highly esteemed program. In my opinion, the dual degree itself is not a very good option although IIT Roorkee is an excellent institute.
People forget that recruiters do not consider 4-year or 5-year degree holders any differently and offer them similar profiles. In Fact, some recruiters even consider you inferior to BTech students. Moreover, unlike others getting PPOs a dual degree student is not allowed to even sit in the interviews during this time because you won’t be able to join for at least 2 more years.
Academically, both B.Tech and Dual degrees are similar and the 5th year usually comprises project work and wasting time. When it’s time for interviews you are made to sit with juniors and that lowers your confidence all the more. Moreover, if you are planning to attempt CAT or UPSC, this degree is useless. The only advantage probably is the additional one-year college life experience.
Before I talk about the credibility of both branches, let’s understand the basic difference between them. Geology is basically an observational science that tries to explain various phenomena and processes taking place at or near the surface of the Earth. On the other hand, Geophysics uses physical tools like Gravity, Potential, Seismic, Magnetic, etc. to study the interior of the Earth. It’s more like a branch of Geology itself.
The coursework in Geological technology covers topics related to rocks, minerals, ores, volcanoes, mountains, oceans, glaciers, sediments, petroleum reservoirs, landslides, earthquakes, geoinformatics, and much more. The curriculum is similar to that of Applied Geology. The coursework in Geophysics comprises basic geological concepts along with detailed Geophysics concepts. Both branch students can opt for interdisciplinary courses as departmental electives. This initiative helps the students to gain an overall knowledge of Earth Sciences.
Placements-wise, both offer similar opportunities with the core recruiter being the same; the Energy Sector - Oil and Coal industry. Mineral exploration also offers core jobs to these two branches. The opportunities offered are equal and any difference stems from the individual's performance and not the branch’s credibility.
The majority of students are inclined towards research with the Geology students having an edge over Geophysical students in this aspect. For those seeking a management position or preparing for IAS, these two branches are the best owing to their light workload.
IIT Bombay's Geology and IIT Roorkee’s Geophysics are well recognized for their excellent curriculums and research facilities.
However, IIT Roorkee or IIT Bombay depends on your preference and career goals.
Chemical engineering at IIT Roorkee is a branch of engineering that deals with the design, development, and operation of chemical processes. The scope of chemical engineering at IIT Roorkee covers a broad range of fields such as process design, process control, process dynamics and control, thermodynamics, heat and mass transfer, fluid mechanics, reaction engineering, separations, environmental engineering, materials science and engineering, biotechnology, and more.
The branch offers three programs
The course structure at Undergrad level is simple and comprises repetitive concepts. Anyone with enough knowledge of basic class 12th Physical Chemistry will be able to master the course.
The placement scenario has witnessed a gradual decline owing to the increasing batch size every year. One rarely gets an off-campus job anymore.
The jobs of chemical engineers are usually in the process industry and are very challenging, especially in refineries and Oil rigs. Moreover, the job location is usually far off.
My knowledge is limited to Undergraduate courses only and I have no idea about PG and Research.
