The department of metallurgy is one of the best departments at IIT Bhubaneswar. After the CSE department, the metallurgical department got 90% placement from IIT Bhubaneswar in 2019. The metallurgy is the only department in which the 2nd year students get internships. IIT Bhubaneswar also signed MoU with Shanghai Jiao Tong University exclusively for metallurgical students. As Odisha is blessed with minerals there is an abundance of field trips. The institute has experienced professors in the department in their respective background and currently, the faculty members are engaged in various research projects sponsored by Department of Science and Technology, Govt. of Orisha, and also few consultancy projects for companies like Tata Steel Limited, Tata International Limited, etc.

The department of metallurgy at IIT Bhubaneswar has well-furnished laboratories equipped with state-of-art instruments. The environment is also research-oriented. Further, many students have also gone abroad for further research.

Here is a comparative analysis of both colleges.

• According to the National Institutional Ranking Framework ranking, an apex framework that ranks the colleges, institutes, and universities, BITS Goa is ranked in 25th place while IIT Bhubaneshwar has secured 17th rank.
