Does a branch change at IIT(BHU) require as much effort as we put in during JEE?
Many students opt for a less preferred branch on the pretext of changing their branch to CS. If you are one of them, the best way is to keep yourself aware of the coding culture and acquire skills. Only those who are genuinely interested in coding and have related skills should opt for a branch change to CS.
As for the branch change policy at IIT BHU, to make it into CS, you need to be among the top 7–8 people in the college. An immense level of dedication and effort is required as you will be facing tough competition with talented batchmates. You will have to give up on all the fun activities going around and focus only on your studies.
What I feel is if you are adamant about CS, then you should focus on acquiring coding skills and opting for non-placements instead of changing your branch as a whole. But if you are hell-bent on changing the branch all you need to do is study before, in, and after class for 2 semesters.
Which is better IT in IIIT Allahabad or Industrial Chemistry in IIT BHU or Civil in new IIT?
Choosing streams like Industrial Chemistry can be tricky. Generally, students don’t even understand the scope of the basic courses, let alone a specialized course like chemistry. Don’t go for such a course if you are not well-informed about the career prospect.
If you are interested in civil engineering then don't waste time and apply to the new IITs. It is difficult to decide whether you are interested in a particular field. To find out you can get in contact with Civil Engineering graduates from good universities. Ask about their nature of work and growth in the field, etc. See if that sparks your interest. Also, you will have the option to go for GATE and appear in IES.
Which is better, ceramic engineering in IIT BHU or chemical engineering in Jadavpur University?
If you are willing to join Management/Analytics/Consulting or IT sector then choose Ceramic Engineering in IIT BHU. Compared to JU, IITs offer much better non-core placements.
If you want to join core companies or PSUs then you should choose JU over IIT BHU. Many core recruiters offer job opportunities to JU Chemical Engineering students. Some of the major core recruiters that visit the campus placement regularly are PepsiCo, Cocacola, ITC, Budwiser, RIL, etc. Well-renowned non-core companies like L&T Infotech, TCS Digital, Infosys, etc visit the JU campus placement as well. One other advantage of choosing Chemical Engineering at JU over Ceramic Engineering at IIT BHU is the public sector. SMPCIL and Vizag Steel are the only two PSUs in Ceramic Engineering.
