A developing 2nd Gen IIT (Recommended to take admission)

The curriculum of my course has been designed very good. Basically, the huge scope of field research has motivated me to take this course. But the lack of high-paying on-campus placements is a problem. The difficulty of my course is the same as the other engineering courses.

Various reputed companies like Google, Samsung, NVIDIA, and Oracle offer paid internships. Also, multiple government agencies provide internships. All On-campus internships are paid, and stipends vary from 15k to 1.5 lakh.

The placement stats of IIT Bhubaneswar are quite good. For the 2025 placement season, the highest CTC was 67.6 LPA and the mean CTC was 14.5 LPA, with a total of 22 PPO offers. Approximately 90% students were placed this year. Major recruiters were Google, Oracle, Zomato, Goldman Sachs, NVIDIA and Meesho. This year, there were 5 international offers (4 from Accenture Japan and 1 core offer from Niterra Japan).

Semester fees for every semester are around 1.12 lakh, with Tuition Fees 1 lakh, and others are rest of the amount changes semester to semester. Tuition Fees are 100% waived off for SC and ST students and for economically weaker students (family income less than 5 lakh per annum). Some students are also awarded a scholarship with 50% tuition fee remission and 1/3rd tuition fee remission based on the criteria. Some banks and reputable companies also provide scholarships for students with economically weaker backgrounds.

IIT Bhubaneswar has a very vibrant campus life. The campus is nestled at the foot of the Barunei Hill, offering a serene and pollution-free environment. The campus is built with modern facilities such as well-quipped hostels with 24/7 internet access, a modern academic building with air-conditioned classrooms, a central library, and a large auditorium. There are various societies under the Students' Gymkhana, like Robotics Club, Programming Society, Dance Society, Music Society and many more. There is a single cultural and technopreneurship fest, Pravaah at IIT Bhubaneswar, which happens at the month of January every year. There is also a sports fest named Ashvamedha.

In every hostel (except 1st year's girls' hostel), there are single occupancy rooms. Mess Food is average. The hostel room quality is very good and is equipped with a LAN Internet connection. Hostel charges are also reasonable.

I have got Chemical Engineering in Jadavpur University, but I chose IIT Bhubaneswar. First and foremost reason is that the IIT brand and its global networks are unparalleled. I believe that the opportunities for higher studies and an international career with be much stronger with an IIT degree.

Faculty-to-student ratio is approximately 1:15. Most of the faculty are highly qualified and knowledgeable. They are always approachable. There are 2 major exams in a semester, and internal quizzes are also part of the evaluation.

The nightlife of IIT Bhubaneswar is totally different. We hang out in various night canteens, which remain open till late at night. There are no such restrictions on hostel timings, and it is totally safe for a girl to roam around the campus at night.
