Which should I prefer, IIT Kharagpur computer or IIT Delhi electrical?

The choice of both the college as well as branches depends on your personal inclinations and career prospects. In case you aren’t sure of any branch yet, my answer will surely help you.

• Anyone interested in huge packages and excellent job opportunities should go for the CS branch. It offers the highest packages and will never disappoint you.
• Anyone interested in pursuing higher education from foreign universities should opt for Computer Science.
• For those willing to work in public sector companies like Indian Oil, ONGC, etc go for Electrical.
• Even if you are aiming for IAS/IES, Electrical will be the right choice.

The primary step is to analyze what you want from your graduation and then make the decision.

There is no clear winner in this comparison. Both the options have merits. Among the branches, CSE will offer better placement. If you want jobs with cushy salary packages after graduation, you should choose CSE. Electrical Engineering is a good option as well. It is a mixture of Electronics, Instrumentation, and Control. If you are interested in core engineering job roles, then you should prefer Electrical Engineering.
