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.

How is PEC Chandigarh for mechanical engineering? Is it comparable to NITs? Which college should I prefer?

PS
Praveen Sharma Posted On : April 30th, 2021
B.Tech. Mechanical Engineering, Punjab Engineering College, Chandigarh

One of my friends is an alumnus of PEC Chandigarh. According to him, the Mechanical branch has good placement statistics. Here are a few highlights of the branch that may be helpful. 

  • You can easily secure an average package of 6-7 LPA.
  • In recent years the highest CTC offered to students of this branch is around 15 LPA. Although companies offering software-based profiles even offer 22 LPA.
  • Some of the major recruiters for the Mechanical branch are JP Morgan, Tata, ITC, Hero, Bajaj, ZS Associates, Maruti, etc. 
  • The placement average of the branch is almost 80% and only students with low CGPA remain unplaced. 
  • PEC doesn’t have a good research culture. If you are interested in good research exposure, go for an internship at any IIT.
  • According to my friend the quality of teaching is average. 

Lastly, if you have options to go for better NITs such as Allahabad, Bhopal, Raipur, etc. go for it. Many reputed PSUs visit the campus placements of these NITs and offer Design profiles.

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.

PP
Pratik Parikh Posted On : May 4th, 2023
Lives in Bangalore

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.
