It’s hard to say if you will get in or not. While 2,040 is a perfectly good score on its own, last year's closing rank was 2,092. But the cut off varies every year, so it’s a possibility that you may get in. You can even get into IIT Bhubaneswar in the very 1st round if luck favors. Don’t be disappointed if you can’t get in as there are also other IITs like IIT Ropar and IIT Jodhpur where you can try to get admission.
Also if you scored below 3000 in JEE Mains then you can go for IIIT Hyderabad. For CSE IIIT, Hyderabad ranks along with top IITs like IIT Bombay and IIT Delhi. So if you can secure a place in IIT Hyderabad, you should go for it. As there's a good possibility you can bag good job offers as an IITian from IIT Bombay or Delhi. Although the tag of IIT adds a certain value to your degree in the end it’s skills that matter most. So make your decision wisely.
Opting for Electrical Engineering from IIT Bhubaneswar is a better choice than moving for metallurgy at IIT Kharagpur as:
The placement scenario for MTech Electrical at IIT Bhubaneswar is quite good. Out of the 13 students studying in 2018-20 batch, 12 got placed in reputed MNC’s like L&T Heavy Engineering, KEC International, and many other companies. The packages offered by MNCs range from 6 LPA to 9 LPA for core companies. There are two areas of specialization for MTech in the EE branch at IIT Bhuvaneswar- Power System Engineering (PSE) and Power Electronics and Drives (PED). Judging by the statistics, around 90% of students in M.Tech Electrical Engineering get placed in IIT Bhuvaneswar. It is quite imperative to note that the scenario for placement in Power System Engineering specialization is better than Power Electronics and Drives(PED). It is due to the fact that PED is a new branch in the institute which was started in 2019. So the first batch of students from PED is yet to experience any placement milieu. However, several companies like delta Electronics have shown their interests and are keen to visit the campus for placements. Although the Mtech program in EE at IIT Bhuvaneswar is among the new ones, yet it has attracted quite decent MNCs for placements.
I am a second year B.Tech student at IIT Bhubaneswar, and I can say that my institution is better in this case.
Here are the reasons why IIT Bhubaneswar is better than Bharati Vidyapeeth Delhi-

Yes, IIT Bhubaneswar is worth it to pursue civil engineering. Although it is a new name among IITs, it’s doing quite well. According to NIRF Ranking 2019 IIT Bhubaneswar was ranked at 26 among the engineering colleges all over India. It’s a popular belief that there is not much placement opportunity available for civil engineering students in India. And most of the students from this starts to prepare for non-core placements from the very beginning of their courses. But this is not the case for IIT Bhubaneswar. Past placement records suggest that 70% of the civil engineering students got core placements. Placement record for 2019 in IIT Bhubaneswar shows a total of 89% students from civil engineering got placement offers. During placement, the average salary package offered to civil engineering students is 10 LPA. The highest salary package offered even went up to 39 LPA over the years.
Students of this IIT have opportunities to do their internships in R & D organizations and in many foreign Universities.

If you are eligible for all the above-mentioned colleges then BITS Goa and NIT Trichy are two of the best options.
BITS Goa offers Computer Science with a total fee of 14.7 lakhs. Last year, the college scored a placement record of above 90% with the highest CTC of 56 LPA in the CS department. The cut-off last year for CSE was 352 so you may get selected.
BITS Hyderabad offers the same course with a course fee of 15.66 lakhs. The cut-off last year was 342. The IT companies offered an average salary of 14 LPA in last year’s campus placement.
NIT Trichy offers CSE with a course fee of 5.72 lakhs, so there is one advantage of qualifying for an NIT in India. The cut-off rank for JEE Main lies between 280-5317 at this institute. The CSE branch had 100% placement last year with it being the highest recruiting branch for the past 3 years in the college.
IIT Bhubaneswar offers CSE at a fee of 7.91 lakhs, and the JEE Advanced closing cut-off was between 1246-4068. The CSE branch had 100% placement with salaries ranging between 10-35 LPA in 2019 placement.
IIT Dhanbad charges a fee of 8.91 lakhs and the cut-off for JEE Advanced rank lies from 1619-5657. In 2019 campus placement, 90% of CSE students were placed and the maximum salary offered was around 40 LPA.
So after comparing all the colleges, NIT Trichy is the best option.
The condition of placement in IIT Bhubaneswar has been quite impressive in recent years.
Placement Statistics:
The placement statistics for 2020-21 is as follows.

Career Development Cell:
The main reason behind the failure of placement of the civil department lies in the CDC office of the IIT Bhubaneswar. The staff is hired on a contract basis and doesn't look into the crisis of placement at the department, unless there is some external pressure acting upon them.
One of my friends is pursuing a master’s in Water Resources Engineering from IIT Bhubaneswar and is also a placement coordinator for his department. When he visited the CDC in charge, to his surprise he was asked what are the companies that hire from Water Resources Engineering. This clearly implies that the in charge faculty was not aware of the department let alone recruiting companies.
Overall IIT Bhubaneswar holds a good placement record.
2nd gen IITs like Patna and Bhubaneswar are comparatively lower ranked than Roorkee, Guwahati or Kharagpur. However, they are making continuous progress in terms of both academics and placements. Computer Science Engineering requires basic infrastructure, which is well provided at these 2nd gen IITs.
Here are the 2023 B.Tech CSE placement statistics at IIT Bhubaneswar:
Particulars | Statistics (2023) |
---|---|
Average Salary | INR 25.18 LPA |
Highest Salary | INR 55.75 LPA |
Median Salary | INR 20.31 LPA |
Lowest Salary | INR 9 LPA |
% Batch placed | 100 % |
As evident from the table above, IIT Bhubaneswar records quite decent placements in B.Tech CSE, which is equal to (and sometimes more than) the placements of lower branches at top IITs.
Thus, I would recommend you opt for CSE at 2nd gen IITs like Patna and Bhubaneswar over choosing a lower branch at top IITs like Roorkee, Guwahati, Kharagpur.
I think choosing CSE at IIT Bhubaneswar is a better option than opting for CSE at IIT Ropar.
The placement record for the CSE branch at IIT Bhubaneswar is quite good. The CSE department had the highest placement record of 100% for the past 3 years. CSE is considered the most demandable among all the other engineering departments. IT, Analytics, and E-Commerce offer the most number of job opportunities to CSE students at the institute. More than 89 companies visited during the placement drive of 2019. The highest salary package offered was 39 lakhs per annum, whereas the average salary package offered was 11 lakhs per annum.
Students of the CSE department have received the maximum placement offers. The top companies participating in the placement program are Microsoft, IBM, Adobe, Oracle, Mathworks, HCL, Deloitte, Capgemini, TCS, Wipro, Accenture, Amazon, Flipkart, Oyo, Grofers, Nykaa, etc.
