IIT Kanpur B.Tech Electrical Engineering: Fees 2025, Course Duration, Dates, Eligibility

Both EE at IIT Kanpur and CSE at IIT Roorkee are well-recognized academic institutions in India. However, the choice between EE at IIT Kanpur and CSE at IIT Roorkee completely depends on your career goals and preferences.

• IIT Roorkee is a better choice as it is one of the oldest institutions and holds 5th rank by NIRF ranking in 2023.
• The total course fee for 4 years of BTech CSE is INR 893400.
• The placement opportunity offered by IIT Roorkee is very positive.
• The highest package offered to students is INR 2.03 CPA by the company Databricks.
• Top companies recruiting are American Express, Google, Microsoft, Reliance Industries and more.

As per the latest stats, you will not be able to get admission in CSE at IIT Roorkee at this rank if you are from the general category. I think that you should choose EE at IIT Kanpur over CSE at IIT Roorkee because of the following reasons:-

• Taking EE in Kanpur is more advantageous than CSE in Roorkee due to higher placement percentages and more flexible academics, which helps to let you develop yourself more.
• IIT Kanpur has a better NIRF ranking of 4^th compared to IIT Roorkee 5^th.
• As of 2023, the average salary at IIT Kanpur EE branch is 26.27 LPA, while the average salary for IIT Roorkee's CSE branch is 27 LPA, so there is not much difference.
• More than 250 companies like Microsoft, Fujitsu, Samsung, Reliance, Goldman Sachs, and McKinsey visited IIT Kanpur campus in 2023.
• Electrical engineering provides you with opportunities in both the public and private sectors.
• The best aspect is that if you later discover you have no interest in EE, you can always move to Software Engineering.

Both IIT BHU and IIT Kanpur are one of the best and oldest institutes in India. But according to me IIT Kanpur is better than IIT BHU here are some reasons:

• IIT Kanpur generally ranks higher than IIT BHU in the NIRF rankings. As of the most recent rankings IIT Kanpur is usually within the top 5 engineering institutes in India and IIT BHU typically ranks between 10 to 15.
• Both IIT Kanpur and IIT BHU have excellent placement records. Electrical Engineering at IIT BHU has placement records with an average CTC is 18 lakh whereas Civil Engineering at IIT Kanpur also has strong placement statistics with an average CTC is 22 lakh.
• When it comes to research education and course curriculum IIT Kanpur is better than IIT BHU.

Considering the above points I could say go for IIT Kanpur over IIT BHU. Although, it depends on personal choice.
