Which is better BS Economics at IISER Bhopal, BTech Chemical Engineering at IIPE Vizag or BTECH Mechanical at IIITDM Jabalpur. I would prefer an interdisciplinary course.

If you are a student of Chemical Engineering looking for a program that will help you hone your problem-solving skills in complex, multidisciplinary situations, the Indian Institute of Petroleum and Energy (IIPE) may be a good choice for you. During your course, the emphasis will be on fostering your ability to tackle difficult problems from a variety of angles. If you are interested in pursuing an undergraduate degree in Economics, the Indian Institute of Science Education and Research (IISER) in Bhopal may be a good fit. In addition to the BS Economics program, you can also choose to minor in other subjects to broaden your knowledge base. It's important to note that while IIPE Vizag is a new institute, established in 2016, IISER Bhopal has been around since 2008, making it a more established institution. That being said, it's important to consider a range of factors when choosing a program. If you're interested in Mechanical Engineering, the Indian Institute of Information Technology, Design, and Manufacturing (IIITDM) may be a good option. With a strong faculty and excellent labs, it's a great place to gain knowledge and skills in manufacturing. When it comes to facilities for Mechanical Engineering programs, the following order can be roughly followed based on available information: Infrastructure: IIITDM > IISER Bhopal > IIPE Vizag Academics: IISER Bhopal > IIITDM > IIPE Vizag Placements: IIITDM > IISER Bhopal > IIPE Vizag Of course, this is just a general indicator since we are comparing three different streams. Ultimately, the best program for you will depend on your individual interests and goals.

Minutes of IISERB

Fee Structure is well n good and much lesser than other private or state govt owned colleges. But it's quite displeasing that they took full fees(including fees of gym, library, and hostel) even at this time of pandemic when the first years have not even seen the college, forget about the hostel and all. INSPIRE scholarship is being provided to all the deserving candidates of 'natural science'. But as such there's no scholarship for the students of 'economics' and 'engineering sciences'. The internship is being provided to deserving candidates and all candidates are free to do any kind of internship in their whole college career. But for being eligible for the internships provided by the college, u have to score good marks.

Yes the college provide many scholarships and one of them is the INSPIRE SCHOLARSHIPS which a natural sciences student can take it easily. And there are many other SCHOLARSHIPS for the girl students and for the backward class people which is provided by the college and government.
