My JEE rank is 600. Should I go for electrical at IIT Kanpur or CS at IIT Roorkee?

As per the latest stats, you will not be able to get admission inCSE at IIT Roorkee at this rank if you are from the general category. I think that you should choose EE at IIT Kanpur over CSE at IIT Roorkee because of the following reasons:- Taking EE in Kanpur is more advantageous than CSE in Roorkee due to higher placement percentages and more flexible academics, which helps to let you develop yourself more. IIT Kanpur has a better NIRF ranking of 4thcompared to IIT Roorkee 5th. As of 2023, the average salary at IIT Kanpur EE branch is 26.27 LPA, while the average salary for IIT Roorkee's CSE branch is 27 LPA, so there is not much difference. More than 250 companies like Microsoft, Fujitsu, Samsung, Reliance, Goldman Sachs, and McKinseyvisited IIT Kanpur campus in 2023. Electrical engineering provides you with opportunities in both the public and private sectors. The best aspect is that if you later discover you have no interest in EE, you can always move to Software Engineering.

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.

Things become hectic as course curriculum is very tough.

Tuition fee is 1 lakh per semester. If you avail no scholarship then your whole 4 years of college may cost you around 12 lakhs . However there are many good scholarships available both private and govt which help a lot.

Tution fees was 80000 in 2016 and then after the meeting of IIT the fees revised to 200000 which is around 200%. There is no policy of fees increment. There is one scholarship named MCM where top 25% of college will receive 12000 per year along with tution fee waiver. I don't have any idea for 3rd question

Tution fee is rupees 1 lakh per semester, i.e 2 lakh per year. IITK gives MCM(Merit CUM Means) scholarship to students whose family income is below 5 lakh rupees and have the cpi above 6.5, provided they did'nt have any backlogs in previous 2 semesters. With the help of this scholarship tution fees is completely waived off.

IIT Kanpur- A rough idea before taking admission

I like some of the courses taught here like Machine learning.

I dislike the how grade in a course severally depends on the mood of professor.
I dislike the number of classes held each day.
I dislike the kind of academic present in the air of iit kanpur which makes life pretty hectic.

The fees of our college is 1 lakh 36 thousand. This constitutes the tuition fee, examination fee, gymkhana fee and mess establishment charge. We need to pay mess fee separately for each semester which is roughly 16 thousands. There are several scholarships available which makes our study here affordable

Review of IIT KANPUR

The academic schedule of our college is really hectic.
There are several irrelevant courses which I don't find any use.

The fee structure of my college is divided into two parts. These are institute fee and hostel fee. The institute fee is around 1 lakh per semester. The hostel fee is 30 thousand per semester. Yes, there are scholarships available.
