Bachelor of Technology [B.Tech] (Electrical Engineering) From IIT Roorkee, Roorkee

According to me, B.Tech (Electrical engineering) from IIT Roorkee is a better option due to the following reasons:

• B.Tech electrical engineering is a 4 year program while dual degree (electrical engineering) is a five year program. This means that choosing IIT Roorkee will help you enter the workforce earlier.

• The B.Tech curriculum focuses equally on theoretical and practical learning. This will prepare you for industry roles. 

On the other hand, the dual degree curriculum gives more importance to research and specialisation in electrical engineering.

• Here are the 2023 placement figures for IIT Roorkee and IIT KGP:

Unfortunately, the branch-wise placements are not available for either of these IITs. 

I would recommend you choose B.Tech Electrical at IIT Roorkee over Dual Degree in Electrical at IIT KGP due to the above reasons. 

There's not much of a difference in terms of placements or campus. Go for your interest.

EE comprises power transfer and machines, whereas Mechanical deals with heavy tools and machinery work. 

You should choose IIT Kharagpur Mechanical Engineering dual degree due to following reasons:-

• The Dual degree program is a 5 years program with a combination of B.tech and M.Tech or MBA.
• The dual degree program offers you more opportunities if you want to pursue your MBA after Graduation. 
• IIT Kharagpur is ranked 6th in NIRF ranking while IIT Roorkee is ranked 5th.
• IIT KGP has great infrastructure with all facilities like WIFI, Labs, and Library.
• IIT Kharagpur has an advantage in terms of the college Campus area which is 2100 acres.
• IIT Kharagpur Dual Degree has a Median Salary of 18 LPA with IIT Roorkee EE at 17 LPA.

I was in the same position as you last year. I too had the same options for my Bachelor and I chose IIT Roorkee due to the following reasons:-

• Some of the older IITs like Roorkee boast a longer legacy and are highly esteemed for imparting quality engineering education. 
• Opting for Metallurgical Engineering at one of these older IITs, if your interest lies in materials science or the manufacturing industry
•  Metallurgical Engineering can open up distinctive career pathways in areas like metallurgy, mining, manufacturing, and even research.
• IIT Roorkee/Kharagpur is ranked 5th/6th in the NIRF ranking while IIT Gandhinagar/Mandi is Ranked 18th/33rd.
• IIT Roorkee Metallurgical branch has an Average Package of 21 LPA with IIT Gandhinagar/Mandi EE branch at 24 LPA.
• Old IITs have better infrastructure and college life as compared to new IITs.

In this case, Electrical Engineering at IIT Roorkee would be a better option. The only exception being that you have an inclination towards studying CSE. 

IIT Roorkee enjoys a strong national and international reputation. While IIT Bhubaneswar is growing and gaining recognition, it can’t yet match the established reputation of IIT Roorkee. The strong alumni network of IIT Roorkee provides significant advantages in terms of mentorship, networking and job opportunities. Additionally, Electrical Engineering provides a solid foundation for higher studies and research. 

Here are the 2023 placement statistics of Electrical Engineering at IIT Roorkee:

CSE is a highly known branch with numerous opportunities in the tech industry, and placements for CSE are generally strong. But the newer IITs do not attract as many top-tier companies for placements as old IITs like IIT Roorkee.

In conclusion, I would suggest you choose Electrical Engineering at IITR over CSE at IIT BBSR. 

• College wise - IIT Roorkee > IIT BHU > IIT Mandi
• Branch wise - Electrical > Civil > Mechanical

However, this is a popular trend, and you don't have to follow it. It is best to make a decision based on your own individual preferences.

First, you should make up your mind regarding the domain you want to continue with.

• Here are some information to make your decision easier:-

• IIT Roorkee Civil Engineering is arguably the best in Asia. It has an impressive placement record for the Civil branch.
• Older IITs like Roorkee boast a longer legacy and are highly esteemed for imparting quality Engineering education. 
• IIT Roorkee is ranked 5th in the NIRF ranking with IIT Mandi at 33rd and IIT BHU at 15th.
• IIT Roorkee has better teaching and helping staff.
• IIT BHU has a bigger campus size of 1300 acres compared to IIT Mandi's 538 acres and IIT Roorkee’s 358 acres. 
• IIT Roorkee Civil has a Median Package of 19 LPA with IIT Mandi Electrical at 20 LPA and IIT BHU Mechanical at 19 LPA.
