I have a few friends from the Chemical Engineering department at Jadavpur University. According to them, the placement record from the branch has been good in recent years. 

Some of the reputed companies that visit the campus for Chemical Engineering students are Cairn India, ITC, Axens, BPCL, etc. The packages offered for Chemical Engineering students range from 5-17 LPA. In the 2021 placement drive, the average CTC offered at the institute was 19 LPA.

Jadavpur University - Department of Construction Engineering (2019)

IIT BHU is one of the prestigious IITs of India and is 100 years old. The Mechanical Department of IIT BHU has good faculties and excellent lab facilities. Course Curriculum of Mechanical Engineering is designed in such a way to provide students with industrial skills. The Mechanical Department at IIT BHU has good placement stats having companies visiting campus for jobs in both cores as well as non-core profiles.

Some of the well-known core companies visiting the campus include DRDO, IOCL, HUL, Jaguar, TATA motors, Reliance, Maruti, L&T, BPCL, etc. The list of companies is not only restricted to the core, but students get offers from non-core sectors too like Software/IT, Consulting, Analytics, Finance, Education, etc. It has been observed that most of the students are placed in well-known organizations with an average package ranging from 10-12 lacs CTC. The Highest package in the core sector is around 31 Lacs CTC while in non-core is nearly 41 lacs CTC. Thus, the overall placement percentage of students for the Mechanical Engineering Department is above 90%.

JU is also a good college with some of the good faculties and infrastructure. It is considered one of the best colleges in West Bengal after IITKGP. One of the perks of joining JU is that fee is only 10k per semester which is quite cheap when compared to IIT BHU. Placements are very good and on par with other colleges and students get placed in top companies such as Amazon, Microsoft, Oracle, Adobe, Samsung, Goldmann Sachs, etc. Students were offered an average package of 12 LPA CTC while the highest being offered was 39 LPA CTC by Adobe.

It is difficult to compare two institutes for different branches. You should choose the institute based on your branch of interest.

B.E Chemical Engineering, Jadavpur University (2021)

Choose the course that interests you, college is a secondary thing. Here are some of the facts that may help you in choosing the right branch for you.

  • If you want to work in PSUs or Govt. sectors, it’s better to not choose Production Engineering as there are fewer recruiters.
  • Jadavpur is the best college you can get through WBJEE. If you choose Production or Power in JU, you will have good on-campus job opportunities.
  • Production Engineering is a branch of Mechanical Engineering itself. The syllabus will be more or less the same. 
  • Mechanical at Kalyani University will be slightly better than Jalpaiguri. You may not get lucrative job packages at on-campus placement from Kalyani University but in the long run, you will have a much better hold with your Mechanical degree. You can expect well-paid jobs in the future. 

Your future will depend on the branch you are choosing so choose according to your interest. All these Universities will offer you enough opportunities and resources to prosper. It’s up to you to use that well.

Which is better, metallurgy in NIT Jamshedpur or IT in Jadavpur University?

AB
Akriti Banerjee Posted On : September 6th, 2023
lives in New Delhi

Both Metallurgy at NIT Jamshedpur and IT at Jadavpur University seem to be good options so the choice really depends on your preferences. I hope you aren't someone who is obsessed with tags because, in the long run, the tag of your college does not even matter. Moreover, both NIT Jamshedpur and Jadavpur University have a considerably good reputation in the industry. However, it's true that Nit Jamshedpur metallurgy placements are slightly better than JU metallurgy placements because of their favorable location. JU IT placements are decent too with many 20_ LPA offers. Here is why I will suggest you go for JU IT instead of NIT Jamshedpur Metallurgy

  • Metal processing units are not very favorable working places if you are considering getting employed after graduation.
  • JU has a good record of students opting for higher studies from all departments every year.
  • JU is ranked 6th in India in research after IISC and other top IITs. Its professors have collaborations with foreign universities and their Letters of Recommendation carry great value.
  • Location-ise Kolkata is a much better place than Jamshedpur.

Additionally, consider the following table before making the final choice.

Can branch changing be done in Jadavpur University?

AR
Anwasha Roy Posted On : November 9th, 2021
B.Tech Mechanical Engineering, Jadavpur University (2021)

No, it is not possible to change branch at Jadavpur University. Unlike NITs and IITs, all departments at JU don’t have a common syllabus for the initial year. 

From 1st year itself, each department follows its own syllabus, which is why switching branches at JU is not possible. But if you are admitted to one department, you are still eligible for sports quota admissions, if there are vacancies.

How is the placement of civil engineering in Jadavpur University, West Bengal?

AS
Agnimitra Singha Posted On : November 9th, 2021
B.Tech Mechanical Engineering, Jadavpur University (2021)

The placement record for Civil Engineering at Jadavpur University is not great. For a decent job offer in the placement drive, you will need to top your batch or have to be within the top 10 students in your class. The initial pay scale may not be that attractive, but you can expect to receive a good CTC, once you get experience. 

The initial salary package for Civil Engineering is around 3-5 LPA. The placement scenario for branches like Civil is similar in other reputed institutes like IIT KGP. Only after doing your M.Tech from reputed IITs or NITs, you can expect a good salary package. If you want to get a good job after graduation, you should start preparing for UPSC, GATE, IES, etc. If you score a decent rank in GATE, you can work for PSUs. West Bengal Govt. also offers many jobs for Civil students.

Is Jadavpur University better than ISM Dhanbad?

AG
Anumita Ghose Posted On : November 3rd, 2021
M.Tech from Indian Institute of Technology, Dhanbad

Both Jadavpur University and ISM Dhanbad are reputed institutes. ISM was already quite reputed across India and after getting the IIT tag, the institute has improved quite significantly. 

  • If you are getting branches like CSE/ECE at JU and offbeat branches at IIT ISM, then you should definitely choose JU. 
  • Another advantage of choosing JU is the negligible fee. For a 4 year long B.Tech you will need to pay only around 10,000. 

So, take these factors into consideration, and choose according to your convenience.
