AS
Abhay Shukla Posted On : April 1st, 2021
B.Tech Civil Engineering, National Institute of Technology, Raipur (2017)

For an Institute like NIT Raipur, both the branches of electrical or electronics telecommunication are worth taking. Below mentioned are some points about the branches which may help you in making a decision. 

  • Both branches hold good placement statistics. Core companies usually opt for the electrical branch students while software-based companies go for the students of the electronics and telecommunication branch.
  • The Department of Electrical branch has a decent reputation in college as this is a core branch which follows all the discipline and regulations.
  • IES is open for the students for both the branches and thus choosing any one branch is no less than the other.
  • When it comes to academics and scoring well; the students of both branches are exceptionally good. Ms. Jaya Jha from the Electrical branch and Mr. Shivam Singh of Electronics and Telecommunications bagged AIR-1 in Graduate Aptitude Test.

You can’t go wrong with any of these two choices, so choose the branch that interests you more.

What should I take IIT Dharwad or IIT Bhilai with Electrical, Mechanical, or IIT Dhanbad with Petroleum?

SN
Souvik Nayak Posted On : January 11th, 2021
B.Tech Mechanical Engineering, Indian Institute of Technology, Dhanbad (2018)

IIT Dhanbad is known for offering the best program for a degree in Petroleum around the world. You will have the chance to secure a job with top companies with high packages, sometimes even leading up to 20 LPA. 

The table below gives a brief insight into the institutes. 

Particulars

IIT Dharwad Electrical 

IIT Bhilai MEchanical 

IIT Dhanbad Petroleum 

Placement Rate

60%

65%

80%

Highest CTC

14 LPA

8 LPA

32 LPA

Average CTC

6 LPA

3.5 LPA

8 LPA

Current scenario:

  • The number of high paying placements for Petroleum Engineering has considerably reduced after the institute became an IIT. If you have confidence on securing a well-paying job then go ahead and apply for the course in Petroleum.
  • If placement is important to you then you might want to reconsider your options. Electrical and Mechanical observe a high number of placements considering they are core branches of Engineering. Petroleum being a niche field of study sees fewer placements.

Infrastructure: (Winning Institute - IIT Dhanbad)

  • IIT Dharwad and IIT Bhilai are fairly new and therefore still do not offer a fully-developed campus. 
  • IIT Dhanbad, on the other hand, has a well-developed campus that offers students all modern and updated facilities such as practical labs, multiple academic blocks, a digital library, and more. In terms of Infrastructure, IIT Dhanbad is way better.

Both options have their advantages and disadvantages so weigh in those and choose as you see fit.

Which is better for a keralite, EE at IIT Mandi or engineering design at IIT Madras?

SP
Shankar Pandey Posted On : May 26th, 2023
B.Tech Production and Industrial Engineering, National Institute of Technology, Tiruchirappalli (2020)

Both the Electrical Engineering program at IIT Mandi and the Engineering Design program at IIT Madras are well-regarded programs and have their unique strengths and weaknesses. The better program for a Keralite can be determined by comparing important factors like the curriculum, faculty, research opportunities, and job prospects

From the options you have mentioned, I assume you prefer convenience over academic quality. However, it’s better to look at the bigger picture and focus on the branches more than the institute. To strive for the best, one has to come out of their comfort zone so that only one can grow and reach new heights. 

In order to determine the right branch, research on the respective branches and the job opportunities offered by each. I am sure one or the other branch will intrigue you and trust me that will be the right one for you irrespective of how many Km you have to travel to reach there.

Ultimately, the decision of which program is better for a Keralite will depend on the individual's interests, goals, and career aspirations. It would be best to speak with current students, faculty, and alumni of both programs and gather as much information as possible in order to make an informed decision.

Which is better in IIT Mandi, mechanical or electrical?

SK
Shraddha Kumar Posted On : June 30th, 2023
Studied at IIT Mandi (2019)

The electrical branch at IIT Mandi is much better than the mechanical branch. They offer effective classes and good faculty for both branches. But the placement support is good here at Electrical. IIT Mandi is renowned for its branch change policy. If you have an interest in the CSE field, you are allowed a branch change option after your first year. You should make the final decision based only on your interests and preferences. When we consider both, you can select the electrical branch at IIT Mandi.
