I don’t believe there aren’t any alumni from IIT Guwahati that are as successful as alumni from other IITs. In fact, there are many who have made a strong impact on the socio-economic situation of the nation and have global recognition too
Some of the famous alumni at IIT Guwahati are:
These are just a few examples of the many accomplished individuals who have graduated from IIT Guwahati. It should be noted that this list is not exhaustive and there are many more successful alumni from IIT Guwahati. However, the list is certainly small compared to other IITs. This may be because of its late establishment.
Firstly, I don’t think that the average package of IIT Mandi is more than IIT Guwahati. I think you are confused and looking at the placement statistics of different departments, disciplines, and programs. IIT Guwahati usually releases combined placement statistics for B.Tech, M.Tech, Ph.D., and other programs.
Even if this wasn’t the case, one should look at the placement percentage which denotes the ratio of people that applied for placements and those who got placed. Considering this, there are 2 instances under which IIT Mandi’s average can be higher than IIT Guwahati's.
Thus, I don’t find it logical to compare the mean only. Mode and Median should also be given due importance. The placement statistics are said to be appropriate only if Mean Mode and Median are almost similar. Having a high Mean literally means that a handful of students got high packages while the majority of the batch received below-average packages.
All I mean is that comparing two institutes on the basis of their average packages is not justified. I don’t necessarily mean IIT Guwahati is better than IIT Mandi.
When considering Engineering Physics, the choice of the institute is a secondary factor while your inclination towards Physics is the primary concern. The course is not for those who take it casually without genuine interest in it.
I think IIT Guwahati is a better institute for EP. Those who have a branch change of mind should take the batch strength into consideration as only 10% of the batch is allowed to opt out of EP.
Thus, unless you're certain of EP, I would recommend you go for BITS or top NITs. This will help you if you are looking for a core course.
A Ph.D. (mechanical) at IT Guwahati typically takes around 5-6 years to complete. There is no fixed time limit to complete a PhD at IIT Guwahati as there are several factors that affect your PhD degree. My friend submitted his thesis last December and it’s still under review. It has almost been 7 years and he is expecting his PhD in the near future. Many of his batchmates are still working on the thesis and very few have submitted it. Many seniors completed their Ph.D. exceptionally early within 2-3 years.
Talking about Mechanicals specifically, the average time taken to get a Ph.D. is about 5–6 years no irrespective of your previous degree. However, the situation might be different if you have done MTech from the same institute.
On average, it takes 5–6 years of intense hard work to get a Ph.D. from IIT Guwahati.

It’s easy to maintain SPI between 9-9.5 at IIT Guwahati if you are smart and serious about your goals. You will require more than an average effort to score 9.5+. Such high scores require a high level of commitment and hard work.
Don’t leave the entire syllabus for a week before the exam. You will have to study throughout the semester only then will you be able to cope and score such a high SPI.
Overall, getting a 9.5+ CGPA at IIT Guwahati is neither too difficult nor too easy. It’s all a matter of individual performance and dedication.
Rather than giving you a direct answer, I am going to evaluate all The aforementioned institutes individually on the basis of some common parameters like placements, brand name, campus life, opportunities, and alumni.

Ultimately, it’s a matter of preferences and what you are looking for in your degree.
Both BITS Goa Pilani and IIT Guwahati/Kharagpur are well-respected institutions with dynamic mechanical engineering programs. The choice between them depends on a variety of factors like location, campus culture, available resources, and specific research interests. BITS Goa/Pilani is known for its strong focus on research and innovation, while IIT Guwahati/Kharagpur is known for its strong faculty and resources.
My brother was a student of Mechanical Engineering at IIT Guwahati and I have a few points as to why IIT Guwahati is better than BITS
A few drawbacks of the institute are
All in all, IIT Guwahati should not be your choice if you want a laid-back college life filled with fun. However, if you are sincere about your career and want to pursue mechanical engineering, IIT Guwahati is the right place for you.
