What should I opt for, ED at IITM or mechanical at IIT Bhubaneswar?
If you ask me, I think you should opt for Mechanical at IIT Bhubaneswar rather than choosing ED at IITM. I am saying this not because I am a student of IIT Bhubaneswar but because of the high academic standards the institute maintains.
- The Mechanical Branch at IIT Bhubaneswar is one of the oldest branches.
- IIT Bhubaneswar offers undergraduate full-time courses for four years.
- The average fee for four years is around INR 9 Lakhs.
- IIT Bhubaneswar Mechanical branch has recorded 87% placement for students in 2023 with the highest salary package being INR 21.28 LPA and the average salary package being INR 12.57 LPA.

It is best to make a decision based on your own individual preferences and interests.
I also had the same dilemma and I ED at IIT Madras over other departments due to the following reasons:-
- ED will introduce you to a very diverse set of concepts from Aesthetics in design, User oriented product design and Ergonomics etc.
- ED is the only department in IIT Madras that offers semester long credited internships.
- IIT Bhubaneswar has a NIRF ranking 47th with IIT Madras at 1st.
- The Average salary for IIT Bhubaneswar Mechanical Program is 12.57 LPA.
- The Average package for IIT Madras ED is 19 LPA
- The Highest package for IIT Madras ED is 25.8 LPA.
