According to me, B.Tech (Electrical engineering) from IIT Roorkee is a better option due to the following reasons:

  • B.Tech electrical engineering is a 4 year program while dual degree (electrical engineering) is a five year program. This means that choosing IIT Roorkee will help you enter the workforce earlier.
  • The B.Tech curriculum focuses equally on theoretical and practical learning. This will prepare you for industry roles. 

On the other hand, the dual degree curriculum gives more importance to research and specialisation in electrical engineering.

  • Here are the 2023 placement figures for IIT Roorkee and IIT KGP:
Parameters IIT KGP (Phase-I) IIT Roorkee
Highest Package INR 2.6 CPA INR 1.3 CPA
(Highest International- INR 1.06 CPA)
Top Recruiters (2024) OLA, OneByZero, SecPod, SIRION LABS, TCS Research, and others. American Express, Barclays, Chegg Inc, Flipkart, Google, Microsoft, Myntra, and more.

Unfortunately, the branch-wise placements are not available for either of these IITs. 

I would recommend you choose B.Tech Electrical at IIT Roorkee over Dual Degree in Electrical at IIT KGP due to the above reasons.

Both BTech EE from IIT Roorkee and Dual Degree EE from IT KGP are great programs for those interested in core fields. You will have to maintain a good score throughout and support your resume with some additional projects. The only problem for those who target non-core industries is during internships wherein companies prefer BTech students over Dual Degree students. 

Placements are more about your academic and non-academic achievements than your degree name. However, it’s important to note that your degree should align with the industry in case of core placements.

The students of both programs stay together and have the same campus life and there isn’t much difference. All I feel is that Dual Degree specialization offers you a kind of flexibility to choose from a variety of specializations.
