Should I go for B.Tech Civil Engineering in IIT Delhi or B.Tech Electronics and Electrical Communication Engineering in IIT Kharagpur?

Go for the following priorities:

• 1. IIT Hyderabad - Computational. This will ensure an excellent, high-paying job in the IT sector.
• 2. IIT Kanpur - Mechanical. This will secure a good, high-paying job in the Mechanical sector. You can also land a job in the IT sector since IT companies allow students from all branches to participate in their placement process.
• 3. IIT Delhi - Civil. You may not get a very high-paying job in the Civil sector.

I would definitely recommend going for IITs! The added opportunities for research and placements are significant. You can even appear for M.Tech and PhD programs without needing to take the GATE or go through placement interviews for many PSUs.

Also, IIT Hyderabad is now on par with the older IITs, so you won’t find much difference. Just make sure to check if hostel accommodations are available for students at the IIT Hyderabad campus.

Most importantly, follow your interests and passions when making your choice, and select the colleges accordingly. Good luck!

To be honest, if placement is a major concern, you’re better off choosing DTU Computer Science over any core branch. Opportunities in core branches are quite limited.

IIT Delhi Civil Engineering:

• It’s an academically relaxed department.
• Known for hosting the best dinners and meetings.
• You can aim for civil services (many students pursue this).
• Consulting is an option (just build the right profile).
• There are software engineering jobs available, but nothing too fancy.

IIT Kharagpur Electronics and Electrical Communication Engineering:

• This branch has decent placement opportunities.
• It’s a solid choice if you’re leaning towards electronics.

IIT Kanpur Mechanical:

• It’s a tough institute to navigate, with a ruthless grading scheme.
• However, placement-wise, it’s pretty decent (at least on par or better than IIT Delhi Civil).

I don’t have much knowledge about the computational branch at IIT Hyderabad, and I doubt if one exists.

I think both IIT Delhi for B.Tech Civil Engineering and IIT Kharagpur for B.Tech Electronics and Electrical Communication Engineering offer unique experiences. IIT Delhi has a highly qualified faculty with a focus on self-learning, which can be great for those who thrive in a more independent environment. The campus life seems vibrant with annual fests and excellent sports facilities. On the other hand, IIT Kharagpur, while not detailed in the reviews, is known for its strong placement records, especially in tech and consulting. If you're more inclined towards civil engineering and enjoy a dynamic campus life, IIT Delhi might be the better choice. However, if you're looking for robust placements and a solid technical foundation, IIT Kharagpur could be the way to go. Personally, I would pick IIT Delhi for the overall student experience and campus culture.

I think if your primary focus is on placements and career outcomes, IIT Kharagpur's B.Tech in Electronics and Electrical Communication Engineering might give you an edge. The tech and consultancy sectors dominate the placement scene there, with companies like Google and Amazon making offers that can go as high as 2.65 crores, and a strong percentage of students getting placed. On the other hand, while IIT Delhi's Civil Engineering program also offers good internships and a decent placement rate, the opportunities in civil are generally more limited compared to electronics. So, if you're inclined towards tech and want better job prospects, go for IIT Kharagpur; if you have a passion for civil engineering and are okay with potentially fewer job options, IIT Delhi could still be fulfilling.
