If anyone gets selected for civil engineering in CUSAT, does he get to study in SOE or the CUSAT main campus itself?
CUSAT is a university that had colleges under it in the past. Now it only has colleges or schools to be exact. Which are under the main university campus.
Following are the various schools affiliated with CUSAT University.
- SOE: It stands for School of Engineering and deals with UG engineering courses.
- Old SOE: It deals with Grad and Ph.D. courses. It also comprises various departments for MCA.
- SLS: It stands for School of Legal Studies and deals with the law courses.
- SMS: It stands for School of Management Studies and deals with business-related courses.
- Kunjali Marakkar School of Marine Engineering: It deals with marine engineering courses.
The above-mentioned schools constitute the main campus. This is not the entire CUSAT, there is another campus for the university.
Lakeside Campus:
- The Lakeside campus is around 12 km from the main campus. It is set in Cochin city on the estuarine waterfront.
- It consists of the School of Ocean Science and Technology, School of Industrial Fisheries, Department of Atmospheric Sciences, Department of Chemical Oceanography, Department of Marine Biology, Microbiology and Biochemistry, Department of Marine Geology and Geophysics, and Department of Physical Oceanography.
- The School of Marine Sciences has a library that is regarded as one of the largest marine science libraries in Asia and a research vessel for coastal water studies.
- The school has academic interactions with other universities and research institutes in India and abroad.
Apart from this, there is also CUCEK in Kuttanad, also known as the Pulincunnoo campus. So, if you get selected into civil engineering, then you will be studying in SOE which is inside the main campus.

Which is better, Kanpur civil or IIT BHU electrical?
Both IIT BHU and IIT Kanpur are one of the best and oldest institutes in India. But according to me IIT Kanpur is better than IIT BHU here are some reasons:
- IIT Kanpur generally ranks higher than IIT BHU in the NIRF rankings. As of the most recent rankings IIT Kanpur is usually within the top 5 engineering institutes in India and IIT BHU typically ranks between 10 to 15.
- Both IIT Kanpur and IIT BHU have excellent placement records. Electrical Engineering at IIT BHU has placement records with an average CTC is 18 lakh whereas Civil Engineering at IIT Kanpur also has strong placement statistics with an average CTC is 22 lakh.
- When it comes to research education and course curriculum IIT Kanpur is better than IIT BHU.
Considering the above points I could say go for IIT Kanpur over IIT BHU. Although, it depends on personal choice.

Which branch should I prefer at Nirma University, electrical engineering or civil engineering?
Some of my friends studied at Nirma University. According to them the decision about your branch should depend upon your interest.
- If you have an inclination towards designing and constructing buildings, roads, pipelines, etc., and wish to learn all about it, then you should opt for Civil Engineering.
- The most important part of this field is that you can get the chance to visualize various things in a practical way on the ground.
- If you have an inclination towards electrical components and they are working, then you should opt for Electrical Engineering.
- The basics of electrical engineering are taught in class 12th Physics. So, if you hold a keen interest in that then you should opt for it.
| Categories | Electrical at Nirma University | Civil at Nirma University |
| Course Fee | 7.24 lakh | 7.24 LPA |
| Placement Percentage | 80% | 60-80% |
| Highest CTC | 12-15 LPA | 13 LPA |
| Average CTC | 6-8 LPA | 6 LPA |
| Recruiting Companies | Phillips, Havells, Tech Mahindra, TCS, etc. | Ambuja Cement, Reliance, JP Morgan, Adani, etc. |
From the placement scenario, the department of Electrical Engineering is much better as compared to Civil Engineering. However, you should not opt for any branch by looking at its placement scenario. You must go for the branch that you are interested in as this decision is going to remain with you throughout your life.
Which university is better for civil engineering: IIT BHU or IIT Guwahati?
For Civil Engineering, IIT Guwahati will be a better option. It is among the old 7 IITs and offers good academics, placement, and faculty, for the branch. IIT Guwahati Civil Engineering placement record is good. Around 80% of students from the branch get placement opportunities. The average CTC offered to the student of this branch is around INR 17 LPA.
Which one is better for civil engineering: IIT Bhubaneswar or ISM Dhanbad?
ISM Dhandab and IIT Bhubaneswar are reputed academic institutions and are a choice for civil engineering.
- I am a student of IIT Bhubaneswar and our institution offers great academic courses along with great faculty members.
- The Civil Engineering department at IIT Bhubaneswar is one of the oldest department of the institution.
- The department offers 5 years dual full-time course in B.Tech Civil Engineering + M.Tech Transportation Engineering.

Which should I prefer, civil engineering at IIT Hyderabad or ECE at ISM Dhanbad?
Irrespective of the IIT tag you go for, Civil Engineering always has limited placements. Civil Engineering has become an outdated branch with little or no scope left. Although there are people who go for various options after pursuing civil engineering, which may include UPSC Examinations. What I mean is that Civil Engineering is not the right choice if your goal is placements. In that case consider ECE from ISM Dhanbad. Owing to the increased research in Machine Learning, the ECE branch is expected to grow ten folds in the coming future.
Additionally, ECE in IIT (ISM) has a pretty good coding and robotics culture, so you have both options, going for core jobs or CS jobs.
Ultimately, it’s all about personal inclinations. All I suggest is that never go for a mediocre rank just because a certain IIT is better than the other. The choice of your branch is equally important as the choice of your institute. Moreover, the Civil engineering scenario is similar in every IITs.
Is civil at IIT Bhubaneswar worth it?
Yes, IIT Bhubaneswar is worth it to pursue civil engineering. Although it is a new name among IITs, it’s doing quite well. According to NIRF Ranking 2019 IIT Bhubaneswar was ranked at 26 among the engineering colleges all over India. It’s a popular belief that there is not much placement opportunity available for civil engineering students in India. And most of the students from this starts to prepare for non-core placements from the very beginning of their courses. But this is not the case for IIT Bhubaneswar. Past placement records suggest that 70% of the civil engineering students got core placements. Placement record for 2019 in IIT Bhubaneswar shows a total of 89% students from civil engineering got placement offers. During placement, the average salary package offered to civil engineering students is 10 LPA. The highest salary package offered even went up to 39 LPA over the years.
Students of this IIT have opportunities to do their internships in R & D organizations and in many foreign Universities. For summer internship program, students of IIT Bhubaneswar visited organizations such as ABB Ltd, Amazon, Microsoft, Aditya Birla Group, Airbus Group, India HINDALCO Industry, AIIMS Bhubaneswar, Bharat Dynamics Ltd, NTPC, PNB, Metlife, Wipro, BSNL, Jaipur Metro, BHEL, Vizag Steel Plant (RINL), DRDO, Mahindra & Mahindra, Jindal Stainless Steel.
So, yes, civil engineering at IIT Bhubaneswar is worth it as it will provide you with good placement and internship opportunities.
