Studied B.Tech in Civil Engineering at IIT Delhi (2019)

If we look at the placement stats of both IIT Delhi and IIT Roorkee for Civil, the packages are not very high in comparison with other branches such as Computer science. The average package offered at both places for Civil is around INR 4-5 LPA.

The department of civil engineering at IIT Delhi is known as the “Chillest branch”. You can score around 7 CGPA just by studying one week before the exams. However, you might not be getting a good place on campus placements, the companies may just reject the application form. This is one of the main reasons why the placements in IIT Delhi for Civil branch is so low. Students are left for other options such as MBA or IAS/IES. The professors are good enough and liberal in the Civil department.

Categories	IIT Delhi	IIT Roorkee
Course Fee	8.47 lakh	10.50 lakh
Placement Percentage	60-70%	60%
Highest CTC	42 LPA	32 LPA
Average CTC	10 LPA	13 LPA
Lowest CTC	5 LPA	6 LPA

Students choosing IIT Delhi over IIT Roorkee may be controversial for some but it is an honest suggestion. The environment is very impressive at IIT Delhi for studies as well as Personality Development. But both of these require hard work and dedication from your side. The quality of education is better in IIT Delhi as they have great labs and ample equipment for research.

As long as you continue the hard work, you will be able to grow and prosper in life. You will receive wonderful opportunities for growing knowledge, wealth and an absolute environment for yourself.
