Ques. Which has better placements, IIT (BHU) Electrical or IIT (BHU) Electronics??

● Top Answer By Vinima Bhola on 23 Jun 25

Ans. Electrical Engineering at IIT (BHU) has a well-documented and strong placement record, with high placement rates (81–86%) and top packages reaching up to ?1.68 crore per annum (in B.Tech overall, with Electrical also benefitting from high offers). The Max CTC for Electronics Engineering is ?50 LPA for 2024–2025, which is less than the highest mentioned for Electrical. However, placement details for Electronics Engineering are less commonly recorded. This might, however, represent a single offer or a particular position rather than the branch's highest or average overall. Both branches are highly sought after and have strong industry connections, but Electrical Engineering currently has more publicly available and impressive placement statistics.Read more

Ques. Which should be preffered IIT bhu electrical or BITS pilani EEE?

● Top Answer By Prena Kukreti on 31 Jul 24

Ans. IIT BHU and BITS Pilani are two highly reputed institutions for engineering studies in India. IIT BHU would be a better option over BITS Pilani because of these reasons: Brand Value: IIT BHU carries the prestigious “IIT'' tag. Thus, it has a greater brand value than BITS Pilani. This becomes important when applying to foreign universities for your higher studies.  Fees: As a government institution, the fees of IIT BHU is much more affordable as compared to BITS Pilani. Thus, IIT BHU has a higher ROI (Return on Investment) because it offers even better placements than BITS Pilani.    Here are the important comparisons between IIT BHU and BITS Pilani:   Particulars IIT BHU Electrical BITS PILANI EEE Establishment Year 1919 1926 NIRF Ranking: Engineering 15 25 Tuition Fee *INR 1 lakh per semester INR 2.60 lakhs per semester Highest package (2023) INR 1.15 CPA INR 60.75 LPA (overall) Average package (2023) INR 30.25 LPA INR 30.37 LPA (overall) CTC Range (2023) - INR 9 - 18 LPA ( for Core branches)   [In 2024, B.Tech EEE students received top offers in the range of INR 15-25 LPA] Recruiters on Campus Accenture, Accolite, Adani, Aditya Birla, Adobe, etc. Accenture Strategy and Consulting, Alphagrep, Coinswitch, Fischer Jordan, etc.  *(for SC/ST/PwD students, and others with family income <= 1 LPA, the tuition fee is 0. The tuition is exempted by 2/3rd for students with family income <=5 lakh and > 1 lakh). Because of all the reasons listed above, I would suggest you opt for Electrical at IIT BHU over EEE at BITS Pilani.Read more

Ques. Which will be good, IIT BHU Electrical or IIT Hyderabad Electrical?

● Top Answer By Danish Zehen on 31 Jul 24

Ans. I would suggest you choose Electrical Engineering at IIT BHU. Here are a few reasons why IIT BHU is a better choice for Electrical Engineering than IIT Hyderabad: The electrical engineering department of IIT BHU was established in 1949, and it is one of the oldest in India. On the other hand, IIT Hyderabad was established in 2008. This gives the electrical engineering department of IIT BHU a much better industry reputation and a stronger alumni network.  IIT BHU has an extensive network of graduates in key positions across various industries.  Some renowned alumni of the Electrical Department of IIT BHU are:   Sh. Jay Chaudhry (B.Tech. Electrical, 1980)-CEO and Founder, ZScaler, USA). Dr. Indu Bhushan (B.Tech. Electrical, 1981)- Ex-CEO, National Health Authority and Ayushman Bharat, Govt. of India. Sh. Nikesh Arora (B.Tech. Electrical, 1989)- CEO, Palo Alto Networks, USA. The Electrical department of our college has some highly experience faculty members like-  Prof. R. K. Srivastava (Area of Interest- Linear Induction Motor, Electromagnetics applied to electrical machines, Permanent magnet Axial Flux machines, Special Purpose Electrical Machines).

Ques. Which is better, CSE at ISM or Electrical at IIT Bhu?

● Top Answer By Divya on 31 Jul 24

Ans. I am a student of Electrical Engineering at IIT BHU. Even though CSE is the most popular branch in today’s job market, I would recommend you go with the second option. Here are the reasons that make IIT BHU a better choice than IIT(ISM) Dhanbad: IIT BHU was established in 1919, while IIT Dhanbad was established in 1926. This gives IIT BHU an edge in terms of experience and legacy.  IIT BHU offers a wider range of engineering disciplines. Even IIT Dhanbad does so, but it is mainly known for its contribution in the field of mining and earth sciences. IIT BHU ranks comparatively better in various national rankings. IIT BHU has a large and diverse alumni base across various industries. Here are some reputed alumni from our institute- Sh. Ram Charan ((B.Tech. Mechanical, 1959)- A renowned business consultant, author and speaker. Sh. Jay Chaudhry ((B.Tech. Electrical, 1980)- CEO and Founder, ZScaler, USA). Dr. Indu Bhushan (B.Tech. Electrical, 1981)- Ex-CEO, National Health Authority and Ayushman Bharat, Govt. of India. Sh. Nikesh Arora (B.Tech. Electrical, 1989)- CEO, Palo Alto Networks, USA. Additionally, IIT BHU offers a wide range of research opportunities and collaborations to its students. In terms of placements as well, IIT BHU is better than IIT Dhanbad. Here is a comparison between IIT BHU Electrical and IIT Dhanbad CSE: Particulars IIT BHU Electrical IIT DHANBAD CSE NIRF Ranking: Engineering 15 17 Highest package (2023) INR 1.15 CPA INR 56 LPA Average package (2023) INR 30.25 LPA INR 27.29 LPA Recruiters on Campus Accenture, Accolite, Adani, Aditya Birla, Adobe, etc.  Axis Bank, Oracle, American Express, IBM, etc.  Because of all these reasons, I would recommend you choose IIT BHU Electrical over IIT Dhanbad CSE.Read more

Ques. Which is better IIT Indore mechanical or Bhubaneswar ECE?

● Top Answer By Ravish kumar on 23 Jul 24

Ans. IIT Indore and IIT Bhubaneswar were both established almost at the same time, and both hold an equally good reputation. However, the ECE branch offers better opportunities as compared to the Mechanical branch.  Here is a comparison between IIT Indore Mechanical and IIT Bhubaneswar ECE: INSTITUTE IIT BHUBANESWAR (ECE) IIT INDORE (MECHANICAL) Establishment Year 2008 2009 Placement % (2023) 91% 88.33% Highest Package (2023) INR 44.7 LPA INR 45 LPA Average Package (2023) INR 22.9 LPA INR 22.17 LPA Median Package (2023) INR 18 LPA INR 18.12 LPA The faculty at both these institutions are equally outstanding. However, Electronics courses fall in the middle of core and software. This is why Electronics students get jobs quite easily in the software domain as well.  This makes the job prospects of ECE students better than their Mechanical counterparts. Thus, I would recommend you choose ECE at IIT Bhubaneswar over Mechanical at IIT Indore. Read more

Ques. How do you compare ECE in NITK and IIT Bhubaneswar?

● Top Answer By Danish Malik on 23 Jul 24

Ans. NIT Surathkal was established in 1960, and its ECE program started in 1979. IIT Bhubaneswar was established in 2008, and its ECE branch started in 2016. Even though IIT Bhubaneswar is very new compared to NIT Surathkal, it in no way lags behind in terms of clubs, societies, academics and placements for its ECE students.  Here is a comparison between these institutions for your reference: INSTITUTE NIT Surathkal  B.Tech ECE IIT Bhubaneswar B.Tech ECE Placement % 93% 90.91% Highest CTC INR 54.75 LPA  INR 44.62 LPA Average CTC INR 18.26 LPA INR 22.85 LPA Lowest CTC INR 4.50 LPA INR 9.65 LPA Clubs and Societies Systems & Security group, Intelligence Group Web and Design Society, Nakshatra Fests Incident Alma Fiesta Fee-Structure B.Tech ECE (Total)  INR 5.74 Lakh INR 10.40 Lakh Some of the features of IIT Bhubaneswar which makes it more compatible as compared to NIT Surathkal are as follows: Students & Faculty: Students who join this college are some of the elite students in the country. Since ECE branch isn't available in all of the IITs, this is the best option for the ECE enthusiasts. The faculty of the ECE department is top notch.  Placements: The placement of students in this branch is really good.The average placement of this branch is around 23 LPA. Workload: ECE branch has the most hectic schedule among all other branches. The third semester is the most hectic. But if you choose this branch out of your own interest, you’ll get past all the difficulties. Reputation: This college is one of the highly reputed colleges in the country. Graduates of IIT Bhubaneswar are currently working for successful companies around the globe.  College Life: The campus life is vibrant. Tech and Cultural Fests are held annually. Celebs like Sonu Nigam, Kailash Kher, Shreya Ghoshal have performed in the cultural fest of our college in the past, along with some popular bands and DJs.  The Average and Lowest Package for IIT Bhubaneswar’s B.Tech ECE are much better than NITK. Added to better placements is the fact that IIT Bhubaneswar carries the prestigious ‘IIT’ tag and modern infrastructure.  Based on all these reasons, I would suggest you opt for B.Tech ECE at IIT Bhubaneswar. Read more
