Comments
IIT Ropar was ranked 29 in the 2019 NIRF Rankings for engineering colleges while IIT Bhubaneswar ranked 17. When looking at it purely from the point of view of rankings IIT Bhubaneswar is better than IIT Ropar at this point in time, however, the MHRD rankings should not be chosen as the only parameter. The faculty to student ratio in IIT Ropar is 1:9 which one of the best among IITs; moreover, the mechanical engineering department has a ratio of 1:6 as compared to a ratio of 1:15 in IIT Bhubaneswar so IIT Ropar is better on that front.
Ropar being in Punjab is closer to the northern Indian cities particularly Delhi and it is very close to Chandigarh which is a reasonably well-developed city with an international airport because of which it has amazing connectivity to all the Indian Metropolitan cities, thereby attracting recruiters from these places. On the other hand, Bhubaneswar which is the capital of Orissa is also pretty well connected because of the International Airport. So, in terms of location both the cities are well connected.
The students at IIT Ropar can pursue interests even outside of their courses like many students of the mechanical and electrical branches are pursued the Google Summer of Code(GSoC) which enabled many of them to get placed at CS firms with packages ranging from 28-30 LPA, however, the average general placements for the electrical and mechanical branches are higher at IIT Bhubaneswar as compared to IIT Ropar, it was 8.8 LPA for electrical engineering at Bhubaneswar(2017) and 8.5 LPA for mechanical engineering(2017).
Moreover, particularly the mechanical engineering branch at IIT Bhubaneswar is very well renowned because of its faculty. Therefore at the moment, considering all the factors IIT Bhubaneswar is a better option than IIT Ropar for electrical/mechanical engineering.
