Bachelor of Technology [B.Tech] (Engineering Physics) From IIT Hyderabad, Hyderabad

It is difficult to determine which is better; Mechanical Engineering in IIT Hyderabad or Engineering Physics at IIT Roorkee without knowing what your expectations from the degree are and your personal preferences. Nevertheless, I am here to spill a few facts about EP at IIT Roorkee.

• Engineering Physics at IIT Roorkee is a multidisciplinary branch, with courses from Physics, Electrical, Electronics, Mathematics, and Chemistry departments.
• The courses included in the curriculum are quite demanding and can be really challenging for those who have little interest in Science
• Engineering Physics provided no core placements after completion of the BTech degree.
• Those who have an interest in a specific field of Physics can pursue research as it has great scope.
• You can also work as a scientist in DRDO or ISRO.
• You can also opt for fields like Artificial Intelligence, Quantum Computing, or Quantitative Finance where people with majors in CSE, Applied Maths, and Physics are preferred. 
• Software Engineering roles are also available for EP students although it is challenging to manage the academics along with programming. 

I would recommend you go for an easier branch that has less workload so that you can focus well on coding and get placed right after BTech in IIT.
