If you ask me, I think Metallurgy at IIT Bhubaneswar is better than RVCE CSE. However, it is your personal preference whether you want to opt for RVCE CSE or Metallurgy at IIT Bhubaneswar.
Both IIT BHU and IIT Bhubaneswar are popular academic institutions known for their extensive academic offerings in the fields of engineering, technology, and management. It depends on your personal preference, academic choices, and career objectives which institution you want to opt for.
Metallurgical Engineering program in IIT Bhubaneswar is quite good. A few of the subjects in the course include Polymers & Nanocomposites, Materials in archaeology, Materials recycling and sustainability, etc. The faculty of the metallurgy department are well qualified and experienced. The college provides a research-oriented environment and the curriculum also includes a number of field trips as it is located in Odisha which is blessed with minerals. Students also gain a major exposure through internships which they attain the second year of the course. The annual fees charged by the college is close to 2.13 LPA INR for its B. Tech course.
120 students appeared for the placement season of 2018-19. 90% of the Metallurgical Branch got placed in the year 2018-19.
