Should I choose chemical engineering at IIT Kanpur or CSE at IIT Bhubaneswar or ISM Dhanbad? I am interested in pursuing higher studies and not really interested in a job right after a BTech.
It is tough to compare IIT Kanpur, IIT Bhubaneshwar, and ISM Dhanbad. Still, being a Btech student from IIT Kanpur I think I’m better positioned to tell you the best according to my experience.
Faculty: IIT Kanpur boasts a highly qualified and experienced faculty, many of whom have obtained their PhDs from top institutions worldwide.
Research: Faculty members are actively involved in cutting-edge research and frequently publish in top international journals. They receive numerous national and international awards.
