To be honest, the placement for the same isn’t very appreciable in NIT Srinagar for metallurgical & materials engineering. However, there are students in the metallurgical department who are excelling, and NIT Srinagar is among the greatest universities in India.

Highest Package |
INR 12.80 LPA |
|
Average Package |
INR 7.52 LPA |
|
Median Package |
INR 7.00 LPA |
So compared to this college IIT provides an offer up to 14LPA as an average package. These top-tier institutes offer 100 % placement opportunities whereas NIT Srinagar provides 65%–70% placement opportunities to their students.
My friend graduated from IIT Madras a few months ago and was devastated by the placement scenario of her branch. It almost seems that only Electrical and Computer Science students were eligible for decent placements, rest all suffered.
Talking about Metallurgy specifically, he did not find a single core company visiting the campus for placements almost as if the branch was non-existent. He was told to maintain a good CGPA of 7-8+ for core roles but no core company visited.
In case you are looking for a high-paying non-core job, which is the case for most IITians, you will have to appear for several written and online exams not related to your specialization. You will have to make a good resume by including extra skills, developing your personality, and going the extra mile in your academics to achieve a high-paying job.
Concludingly, Metallurgy has little or no core job prospects so you will have to work hard to get non-core jobs.
IIT Roorkee, NIT Trichy, and NIT Warangal are well-established institutes in India. The scope of metallurgy is comparatively lower than that of CSE. IIT Roorkee mainly concentrates on textual learning and does not give the students exposure to practical learning. They are using the practice of mugging up the lessons without having a clear understanding of the topic. The placement is very poor here; the students from the metallurgy department usually end up in data analytics and coding.
So CSE at NIT Warangal and Trichy would be a better choice.
B.Tech in material science in NIT CALICUT is a slightly underrated course as it is newly introduced. NIT Calicut also has an M.Tech course for material science.
The material science branch in NIT Calicut is a very promising branch despite being an underrated and newly introduced branch and has become an important part of NIT Calicut. This branch also has a dedicated department for nanotechnology. Recently they have made their college proud by preparing and distributing hand sanitizer in the entire campus and also in local sections of society to fight against the coronavirus pandemic.
The placements of this department are not as great as in the computer science department as it is a newly introduced branch.
This is a research-oriented branch with a strong alumni network. Material Science is definitely a promising field and offers a lot of opportunities in higher studies. If you love nanoscience then you should go for this course.
Materials Science and Metallurgy is a good branch. It has huge career prospects in R&D. One can also opt for higher studies post a B.Tech in Metallurgy.
This branch deals with the science of materials. One gets to study the extraction of metals and their refining & purification. The Department of Metallurgy at MANIT Bhopal is quite good. It allows ample time to prepare for GATE. Upon cracking GATE, one can get a job in PSUs like Vizag, IOCL, SAIL, etc.
The department professors are good and supportive. They encourage the students to grab new opportunities in the field of Metallurgy. The placement figures for B.Tech Metallurgy aren’t as good as B.Tech CSE/ECE. The average package is 5–6 LPA, and the highest package touches 8–9 LPA. About 60–70% of the students receive campus placement.
Materials Science and Metallurgy is a good branch, given that one shows interest in it. It offers ample study time to prepare for competitive exams on the side.
One of my friends graduated from NIT Trichy and here are some facts about the institute I got to know from her.
As you have not mentioned any specifications, let me just describe the placement scenario of Metallurgy at NIT Trichy.
| Categories | Metallurgy and Materials Engineering at NIT Trichy |
| Course Fee | 5.65 lakh |
| Highest CTC | 22 LPA |
| Average CTC | 10-12 LPA |
| Recruiting Companies | BPCL, L&T, Tata Steel, Reliance, etc. |
So, you need to act upon those selected shots you get. You'll have many chances throughout the year. You will also get a lot of guidance from immediate seniors.
BIT Sindri has one of the highest placement records of metallurgy in the college. The discussion below will give you an idea about the Metallurgy branch at BIT Sindri.
Placements:
Birsa Institute of Technology is one of the best engineering colleges. From the table below, you can have a rough idea about the institute.

Average Package |
INR 5.17 LPA |
|
Highest Package |
INR 10.12 LPA |
|
Recruiters |
TCS, TATA Steel, TATA Hitachi, Minex |

Fees |
INR 1.17 Lakhs |
The required cutoff for metallurgy in BITS is 800 rank in the general category. Therefore, it is a decent option for metallurgy. If you are thinking of joining the BIT Sindri Metallurgy branch, then you must go for it.
Some key points pertaining to the newly launched branch, Materials Engineering at IIT Delhi are
Overall the department is new and has a much more interesting curriculum and diverse opportunities. Its research culture is almost at par with that of CS, Engineering Physics, or biotechnology.
All the mentioned institutions offer good academic opportunities for students. But in my opinion, Electrical from IIT Bhubaneswar is a better choice than IIT Guwahati Civil, IIT Patna Electrical and Electronics and IIT Kanpur Material Science.
I would say that pursuing Material Science from IIT Gandhinagar will be a better choice as compared to pursuing Metallurgical Engineering from IIT BHU.
