My JEE rank is 600. Should I go for electrical at IIT Kanpur or CS at IIT Roorkee?
As per the latest stats, you will not be able to get admission in CSE at IIT Roorkee at this rank if you are from the general category. I think that you should choose EE at IIT Kanpur over CSE at IIT Roorkee because of the following reasons:-
- Taking EE in Kanpur is more advantageous than CSE in Roorkee due to higher placement percentages and more flexible academics, which helps to let you develop yourself more.
- IIT Kanpur has a better NIRF ranking of 4th compared to IIT Roorkee 5th.
- As of 2023, the average salary at IIT Kanpur EE branch is 26.27 LPA, while the average salary for IIT Roorkee's CSE branch is 27 LPA, so there is not much difference.
- More than 250 companies like Microsoft, Fujitsu, Samsung, Reliance, Goldman Sachs, and McKinsey visited IIT Kanpur campus in 2023.
- Electrical engineering provides you with opportunities in both the public and private sectors.
- The best aspect is that if you later discover you have no interest in EE, you can always move to Software Engineering.
Which is better for electrical engineering: MNIT Jaipur or MNNIT Allahabad?
I researched on both the colleges, and here is my answer to your query-
MNNIT Allahabad is far better then MNIT Jaipur for Electrical Engineering. MNNIT has better placements and academics for Electrical branch.
MNIT is situated in the middle of the city, so you can easily join coaching classes for GATE, ESE, and other competitive exams. But then, many students from MNNIT clear GATE, IES, Civil Services, etc. because of its academic friendly environment.
Both the colleges perform equally well in rankings.
I would recommend you join MNNIT Allahabad for your Electrical degree.
What should I take, Metallurgy and Material Science Engineering at IIT Indore or Electrical Engineering at IIT Bhilai?
In general, it is better to choose the branch of your choice. Given below are a few trade-offs of the two choices given on the question which may help you in making the decision.
MEMS - IIT Indore:
- Administration: IIT Indore belongs to the 2008-09 batch of IITs. Although it can’t be compared with older IITs but it has made remarkable progress in this short span of time. The administration and departments are well-settled. Extra-curricular at the institute are also developing with time. In 4-5 years, the institute is expected to have a great future.
- Course: BTech MEMS at IIT Indore is fairly new and the duration of the existence of the course is the same as the B Tech Electrical course at IIT Bhilai. However, the MEMS department has been functioning for a while at IIT Indore. As a department it has experience. The faculties are great.
- Placements: MEMS has a lower placement rate as compared to other core branches of engineering. Metallurgy and Material Science is a niche field of study and the degree outcome is more research-oriented.
- Change of Branch: However, you can change your branch to Electrical or Mechanical from MEMES at IIT I, if you work hard in your 1st year. Changing to CS is always difficult because of the competition.
Electrical at IIT Bhilai:
- Facilities: IIT Bhilai was established back in 2016. It is only 4 years old. Electrical is a core Engineering discipline with better career prospects. But the disadvantage of this choice is the institute. You will have a few seniors in your branch and temporary faculties.
- Extracurricular: You will have good opportunities to start events, clubs, in the institute. On the other hand, the future at this institute is a bit uncertain.
- Campus Life: The institute also does not have a proper campus. You will not have a proper campus life for the next 4 years.
The table below shows a brief overview of the two institutes.

One of my friends had an option between Mechanical at IIT Indore and CS at a new IIT. He chose Mechanical at IIT Indore. Judging by his experience it is safe to say that he made the right decision at least for 2-3 more years.
The choice is up to you if you would rather trade off on the branch or on the institution. If you are confident you can secure a good future from the limited opportunities a new IIT can offer, you should go for it.
What should I take, metallurgy and material science at IIT Indore or electrical at IIT Bhilai?
I think the branch matters more than the institute and that being said personally I feel IIT Bhilai Electrical is a better option than IIT Indore Material Science. The small batch size enables you to make the most out of the opportunities and resources. The points below further prove my opinion
Here is a small list of things why you should consider IIT Bhilai:
- The professors come from IIT Hyderabad, one of the most reputed and well-regarded new IITs.
- The fractal system is followed here giving you a more flexible academic palette.
- The core subjects are introduced in the first semester itself so that students can identify their interests early.
- IIT Bhilai EE lab is one of the very few labs in India which is Cloud Connected.
- There are 20 All-in-ones that have 8-core i7 processors in the EE lab.
- The institute has vibrant campus life with dynamic student activities going on such as 6 cultural clubs and 3 tech clubs.
- The Electronics Club of IIT Bhilai Is well-equipped and enables you to experiment with various modules like GPS module, GPRS module, accelerometer, etc
Overall, taking IIT Bhilai will not disappoint you and you will have a plethora of opportunities here.
What is the placement scenario at the Nirma University for electrical engineers? Should I prefer it over SRM computer science?
Electrical and Computer science is very different from each other and they have very few things similar to each other.
- In electrical engineering, the course module includes a lot of physics and classical and applied maths, but in computer science, the course module includes discrete and applied maths and there is no part of physics.
- In electrical engineering, there are a lot of theoretical studies of maths and physics but in computer science, there are mostly logical studies and coding. Although at the advanced level, these two branches do marge a bit, they are completely different for beginners.
Here’s a brief overview of the two courses mentioned in the question.

So, you should choose the branch according to your skills and knowledge, rather than choosing a branch, based only on placements. Otherwise, you may have to opt for branch change after 1st year.
Which is better, Thapar CSE or BIT Mesra ECE?
You should choose BIT Mesra ECE. It has a better brand value. It will be easier to get good opportunities in terms of placements and higher education.
BIT Mesra placements are excellent. Each year almost 85% of students get placed in ECE branch. The average CTC offered to the students of ECE ranges between INR 5 -10 LPA.
Is IIIT-Delhi better than DTU for ECE?
Yes, all the branches in IIIT Delhi are considered to be better than DTU CSE. Although DTU has a better brand name, it’s way behind IIIT Delhi in terms of placement, quality of crowd, and research culture. IIIT Delhi's faculty and infrastructure are way better than DTU's.
IIIT Delhi has a very flexible curriculum allowing students to choose subjects of their choice, unlike the rigid curriculum of DTU. Moreover, the IIIT Delhi curriculum is CS-tailored so you won't have to study Physics, Chemistry, and Biology in the first year. Students are taught Data structures and Algorithms along with many programming languages-Python, C, Java, and Shell Scripting in the first year itself. ECE students at IIIT Delhi are taught more practical and less theoretical knowledge.
The best part is that students are free to choose CSE courses in the 3rd and 4th year which is not possible in DTU. The best option would be to pursue a Master's in CS and a Bachelor's in ECE.
Ultimately, the choice depends on your preferences.
Which is better at IIT Delhi, electrical engineering or mathematics and computing?
Both the branches, Electrical and MnC have great scope in terms of employment in both core and non-core jobs. However, most high-paying jobs are given to CS students with the Electrical students securing average packages only. Here is when MnC comes to your rescue. It provides opportunities for CS jobs as well as Finance and Analytics, both being highly paid and demanded sectors. The branch attracts huge companies like Goldman Sachs.
Anyone with a deep interest in Mathematical concepts and theoretical concepts will find this program very intriguing. The curriculum comprises core math topics like discrete mathematics, combinatorics, algebra, and statistics as well as some CS topics. Electrical on the other hand, has topics like power electronics and electronic circuits which focus on practical implementation rather than theoretical concepts.
Department-wise, Electrical is better because of the quality of the faculty pool it has. MnC constantly faces issues related to the quality of teaching and faculty. The faculty in the Maths department is excellent but when it comes to teaching CS electives, it does not impart knowledge better than core CS professors.
How are placements for electricial engineering students in Thapar University?

- The top mass recruiters were Infosys and TCS. They offer a salary package of 3-3.5 LPA.
The students of B.Tech score the highest number of placements every year at Thapar University. The institute has even managed to get more than 90% of students placed in the last 6 years. You should make sure to contact a currently enrolled student and know the scenarios.
Which one would be better: production in Jadavpur university, power in Jadavpur university, mechanical in Jalpaiguri, or government engineering or mechanical in Kalyani govt. engineering?
Choose the course that interests you, college is a secondary thing. Here are some of the facts that may help you in choosing the right branch for you.
- If you want to work in PSUs or Govt. sectors, it’s better to not choose Production Engineering as there are fewer recruiters.
- Jadavpur is the best college you can get through WBJEE. If you choose Production or Power in JU, you will have good on-campus job opportunities.
- Production Engineering is a branch of Mechanical Engineering itself. The syllabus will be more or less the same.
- Mechanical at Kalyani University will be slightly better than Jalpaiguri. You may not get lucrative job packages at on-campus placement from Kalyani University but in the long run, you will have a much better hold with your Mechanical degree. You can expect well-paid jobs in the future.
Your future will depend on the branch you are choosing so choose according to your interest. All these Universities will offer you enough opportunities and resources to prosper. It’s up to you to use that well.
