However, IIT Roorkee or IIT Bombay depends on your preference and career goals.

I think I am qualified to answer this question as I graduated from IIT Kharagpur Geology and Geophysics department and I am working for ARM Group in the Middle East.

You should choose IIT Kharagpur due to following reasons:-

• Geophysics offers great opportunities to apply numerical, quantitative, and computational methods to geological investigations.
• IIT Kharagpur is ranked 6th in NIRF ranking while IIT Jammu is ranked 67th.
• IIT KGP focuses on holistic development and thus has a rich extracurricular culture that helps develop bonds between students of different branches.
• IIT Kharagpur has a median salary of 18 LPA, whereas IIT Jammu pays 17 LPA.
• IIT Kharagpur is one of the oldest IITs, established in 1951. It has better infrastructure and a larger campus area of 2100 acres.
