Which is the best option - IIT Bhubaneswar for ECE or IIT Chennai for chemical engineering?
I am a third year B.Tech ECE student at IIT Bhubaneswar. ECE is one of the newer branches at IIT Bhubaneswar. Its first batch graduated in 2020.
The number of software companies that come for recruitment of ECE students is comparatively more than core companies. Marwell Electronics and Qualcomm are the core companies that recruit ECE students from IIT Bhubaneswar. Amazon, Microsoft, HSBC, Mathworks, Oyo, and Razorpay offer software related jobs to ECE students.
Here are the 2023 placement figures for B.Tech ECE at IIT Bhubaneswar and B.Tech Chemical at IIT Madras:
| Branch | IIT Bhubaneswar ECE | IIT Madras Chemical |
|---|---|---|
| Percentage Placed | 90.91% | - |
| Highest CTC | INR 44.62 LPA | INR 66.00 LPA |
| Lowest CTC | INR 9.65 LPA | INR 6.00 LPA |
| Average CTC | INR 22.85 LPA | - |
| Median CTC | INR 18 LPA | INR 17.00 LPA |
I would recommend B.Tech ECE at IIT Bhubaneswar over Chemical Engineering at IIT Madras because the former offers better placements in terms of median and lowest packages.
