I would say that pursuing Material Science from IIT Gandhinagar will be a better choice as compared to pursuing Metallurgical Engineering from IIT BHU.

  • IIT Gandhinagar is one of the top colleges in India at the moment as it has an NIRF ranking of 18th.
  • The total tuition fee for this four-year course from IIT Gandhinagar is INR 8 Lakhs.
  • There are forty seats for this course.
  • In 2023, the average salary for this course stood at INR 19.60 LPA, and the median salary was INR 9 LPA.
  • The curriculum has been designed to prepare the students for a prospering career.

IIT BHU (2019)

You need to compare various aspects of both the institutes to reach a fair decision.  The parameters that you should consider for comparing are as follows. 

  • Course Structure
  • Course Specialization
  • Facilities
  • Faculty Members
  • Placements
  • Projects, alumni network, and so on

If you see the course structure and specialization, BHU is the oldest center of study for Metallurgical Engineering hence has loads of data available. But on other hand, less data is available for Material Science at IIT Gandhinagar as it is a growing discipline in the Meta field.

Academics: (Winning Institute - IIT BHU)

  1. For IIT BHU, there are two specializations in post-graduation: Alloy Technology and Extractive metallurgy
  2. For IIT Gandhinagar, it’s Material Science and Engineering. The course is more focused on Biomaterials and nano-materials.

Here is the list of subjects for Metallurgy at IIT BHU with the first 5 being the core subjects:

  1. Metallurgical Thermodynamics and Kinetics
  2. Computational Methods for Metallurgy
  3. Computer Applications in Metallurgy Practical
  4. Materials Characterization
  5. Materials Characterization Practical
  6. Departmental Elective
  7. Humanities/Language

Facilities:

Now coming to the facilities, IIT BHU offers you a long list of facilities for this particular program which are:

  • Transmission Electron Microscopy Lab
  • Scanning electron microscopy with EBSD Lab
  • Projection Microscopy Lab
  • Structural Metallography Lab
  • Mechanical Testing Lab
  • Computer Lab
  • Extractive Metallurgy E&C Lab
  • Chemical Metallurgy Lab
  • Transport Phenomena Lab
  • Welding Lab
  • Foundry Lab

Faculty:

The faculty at both the institutes are quite good, to know more about the faculty you can visit their official websites:

Placements: 

Now, coming to the placements, both the institutes offer moderate placements in these fields. Most of the students switch to Ph.D. from India as well as in international institutes.

All in all, it depends on your interest and goals. So,  make such decisions carefully.
