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 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
