I am a second-year student of ECE at IIT Bhubaneswar.

I think you can go for B.Tech ECE at IIT Bhubaneswar. Even though DTU is a reputed institute, it is mostly known in the Northern parts of India. On the other hand, IIT Bhubaneswar carries the IIT tag, which is recognised nationally and globally.

As a central institution, IIT Bhubaneswar has a more diverse crowd as compared to DTU (also because DTU has a huge Delhi quota). This allows for a better exposure and exchange of values. This will in turn, help you in your profession when dealing with people from diverse socio-cultural backgrounds.

ECE is as good a branch as CoE/CSE, and you can easily get a job at an IT firm by learning coding on the side. Moreover, ECE students are allowed to sit for a large number of IT companies during placements.

Here’s a comparison between IIT Bhubaneswar and DTU for your reference:

Parameters	ECE at IIT Bhubaneswar	COE at DTU
NIRF 2023 Engineering Ranking	#47	#29
Highest Package (2023)	INR 44.62 LPA	INR 82.05 LPA
Average Package (2023)	INR 22.85 LPA	INR 23.70 LPA
Top Recruiters	Google, Adobe, Amazon, TCS, etc.	Samsung, Microsoft, Zomato, Flipkart, etc.

Since the placements at both the institutions are good, I would recommend you consider the other factors and choose B.Tech ECE at IIT Bhubaneswar.
