IIT Roorkee is essentially a technical school. Core B-Schools such as IMT, IMI, and TAPMI will certainly offer better exposure and placement opportunities in the management domain. These B-Schools have a proven track record of producing skilled managers. As a student of the institute, you will get better exposure and development opportunities.
In terms of ROI, IIT Roorkee placements are good for MBA. The total fees for the course are around INR 8.26 Lakhs, while the average CTC offered is around INR 10.98 LPA. If you want to learn the ropes of management in a typical b-school environment then choosing IMT, IMI or TAPMI will be better.
Last year, my sister was in similar confusion when she was asked to choose between IIT Roorkee and XIMB BM for her MBA. Torn between the two, she decided to do her part of the research on the basis of important parameters like roles offered, placement figures, batch size, and ROI.
Here are a few highlights from the research she conducted and the conclusions she drew:
Lastly, let’s discuss the most important aspect; placements with the help of table

So, IIT Roorkee fairs better in almost every aspect be it ROI, placements, or infrastructure.
My brother has offers from Bodhgaya as well as Amritsar but chose the former for a number of reasons. Some of these reasons have been listed below
IIM Bodh Gaya is a perfect blend of academic rigor, and opportunities for growth and extracurricular activities and thus should be preferred over IIM Amritsar. As far as IIT Roorkee is concerned, MBA is best done from a Business School as the environment is an important factor that is lacking in the case of an engineering college like IIT Roorkee.
Both IIT Roorkee and NIT Trichy are highly respected institutions in India, known for their academic excellence and research opportunities. In terms of ranking, IT Roorkee is currently ranked higher than NIT Trichy in most national and international rankings.
Overall, NIT Trichy is ranked 21 out of 200 colleges in India in 2022 by NIRF IIT Roorkee ranks 7 out of 200 colleges in India in 2022.
By choosing IIT Roorkee you will be attaching yourself to the IIT Tag for the rest of your life which undoubtedly will help you in shaping your career.
Both institutes offer equally good exposure and facilities in terms of infrastructure. So it’s better you find the driving force within you. Determine your area of interest and then go for the branch that is best in either of the institutes. Don’t let your relatives or friends make the decision for you.
IIIT Allahabad has witnessed a slow and steady development over the last few years. In fact, it has a very rich coding culture owing to a large number of programmers.
The branch and the institute, if not more, are somewhat equal to that of IIT Guwahati and IIT BHU. The placements opportunities tabulated below are a testament to the same

Both IIIT Allahabad and IIT Roorkee are highly renewed institutes offering excellent quality education and providing equally good startup opportunities. But if one considers the course options available, I suggest IT Allahabad is better than GPT IIT Roorkee unless you are inclined towards GPT.
Both metallurgical and electrical engineering are highly respected fields of study. The choice between them will depend on your personal interests and career goals. The old IITS like Kharagpur and Roorkee has a long-standing legacy in metallurgical engineering, whereas the new IITs like Gandhinagar and Mandi have strong electrical engineering programs.
However, personally, I feel metallurgy in Kharagpur or Roorkee is a better option than joining EE in newer IITs. Here are a few points that support my stance
Ultimately, the choice between metallurgical engineering at an old IIT and electrical engineering at a new IIT will come down to your personal inclinations and career goals.
Both IIIT Allahabad and IIT Roorkee are prestigious Engineering institutes in their respective fields. The choice between them ultimately depends on your personal interests and career goals.
Information Technology (IT) at IIT Allahabad focuses on computer science and engineering covering diverse topics like software engineering, programming languages, databases, and artificial intelligence. Whereas, Biotechnology at IIT Roorkee is known for its research-oriented approach.
However, it’s worth mentioning that Biotechnology has little scope in India and is highly demanded in developed countries. One can witness a high monetary investment in this field outside India. I suggest you go through the curriculum of Biotechnology and then decide if you are interested in it or not. Your IIT tag will be an added bonus because of its global recognition and extensive alumni base.
IT industry is also extremely sought after these days because of the huge job opportunities it creates.
Ultimately, if you are inclined towards CS, then IT at IT Allahabad would be a good choice. But if it's biology and biotechnology that intrigues you, then Biotechnology at IIT Roorkee is the right choice for you.
Every Institute has its unique aspects as well as its own strengths and weaknesses. Some factors to consider include the quality of the faculty, the resources available to students, the research opportunities, and the campus culture.
IIT Roorkee, BITS Pilani, and IIT BHU CS are definitely excellent but IIIT Hyderabad wins the race when it comes to CS. It’s second only to IISc Bangalore, IIT Bombay, and Madras. Because of only 2 branches, the entire focus of the Institute is on CS only. The opportunities, ambiance, and faculty are aligned with the requirements for a good CS branch. Another good option is IIT BHU because of its high ROI.
Having known a few friends in all 4 institutes, I can confidently say that those who chose IIIT Hyderabad CS over IIT Roorkee are doing better now. The IIT tag certainly is helpful but only to a limited extent. The exposure provided by IIIT Hyderabad and its excellent placement opportunities overshadows the much coveted IIT Tag making it a better choice among all institutes. But those looking for stability, facilities, academia, and vast opportunities can go for IIT Roorkee.
Among these IIT Hyderabad is the best option for pursuing an MTech CSE. It offers a better environment, quality education, and amazing research culture. According to the highlights of IIIT Hyderabad MTech placements 2021, the average CTC offered for the CSE department was INR 23 LPA.
Due to these factors, IIIT Hyderabad is better than new IITs like IIT Roorkee and IIT Hyderabad, for CSE.
Both IIT Roorkee and NIT Surathkal are highly reputed institutes, and both have good placement records for their MTech in computer science programs. However, based on the available data, IIT Roorkee has a slight edge over NIT Surathkal in terms of average placement packages.
In the most recent placement season, IIT Roorkee had an average placement package of around Rs. 16 LPA for its MTech in the computer science program, with companies like Amazon, Goldman Sachs, and Microsoft visiting the campus for recruitment. On the other hand, NIT Surathkal had an average placement package of around Rs. 13 LPA, with companies like Microsoft, Intel, and Deloitte visiting the campus for recruitment.
Both IIT Roorkee and NIT Surathkal are excellent choices for an MTech in computer science, and students can expect good placement opportunities from both institutes. However, based on the available data, IIT Roorkee seems to have a slightly better placement record for this program.
