Should I pursue civil engineering at IIT Indore or electrical engineering at IIT Patna?

Last year, my friend was in a similar dilemma and decided to seek help directly from a PhD student at IIT Indore. Surprisingly enough, the fellow's first question was if I had other options. He explained that the CE branch here is new and lacks credibility yet. The labs aren’t well established and the seniors are equally clueless about the future. This helped my friend a lot as he then switched to IIT Patna EE and to date, he hasn’t regretted his decision even once as it is one of the best UG branches of IIT Patna. Choosing IIT Patna will give you a variety of options to opt for after 4 years in various fields like Core Electrical, Electronics, Coding, Open Source Development, Further Studies, and even Research. Being one of the oldest branches, it has a broad alumni pool that is making big contributions to society. The branch has the best labs such as the Advanced Electrical Lab, the Basic/Analog/Digital Lab, the Communication Lab, the Digital Signal Processing Lab, and so on. The branch has an actively operating Club called Sparkonics Like any other IIT, the professors are highly qualified and you cannot doubt their parity. Lastly, don’t give up on IIT Indore just because it is in Patna. Irrespective of whichever city it belongs to an IIT will serve you the best!

IIT Patna - What's in it for you

Academic pressure is not high, but the system is very old and boring.
There are limited electives in college and a lot of compulsory courses.

Tution Fee : 100000 Hostel : 1000 Admin & Etc : 10000 Mess Fee : 20000 Apart from this the tution fee is 0 for SC/ST/Pwd. The fee is not increasing, it is constant. The complete course fee is around 900000 for a general candidate.

All I know about my college

Recently there was a hike in fees of IITs . The semester fee is about 1.25 lakhs and mess charge is about 20 thousand per semester.So in 4 years it would cost total of 12 lakhs including the mess fees. There are sufficient scholarships available and the process is also not hard.Currently I am in 1st year so I have not got any job roles but there are some job roles of Gymkhana which is the student committee of our college.
