I am a B.Tech CSE student at IIT Bhubaneswar. Our institution is ranked 47 in the NIRF 2023 Engineering Ranking.
Other than that, IIT Bhubaneswar has various clubs and societies which allow students explore areas like robotics, web design and programming. These clubs and societies are- Robotics and Intelligent Systems Club (RISC), Web and Design Society (WebnD), and Neuromancers (The Programming Society).
Here is the NIRF 2024 Engineering Ranking, and average package offered to CSE students at these various IITs:
IIT Name | NIRF 2024 Engineering Ranking | Average package for B.Tech CSE |
---|---|---|
IIT Gandhinagar | 8 | INR 29.29 LPA |
IIT Ropar | 9 | INR 28.72 LPA |
IIT Patna | 10 | INR 35.57 LPA |
IIT Indore | 16 | INR 30.32 LPA |
IIT Bhubaneswar | 26 | INR 25.18 LPA |
Even though IIT Bhubaneswar ranks the lowest in both these parameters, it is a good enough choice for B.Tech CSE. It offers good clubs & societies, decent placements, and an IIT tag like the others.
Rather than stating my own opinion, I will let statistics decide the preference order. This is because facts and figures are the most reliable sources one can refer to while choosing a college.
