M.Tech in metallurgical and materials technology at the Indian Institute of Technology Bhubaneswar will introduce you with immense exposure opportunities, good Infrastructure, and well-qualified faculties. However, when it comes to placements for M.Tech students particularly in metallurgical and materials technology, the placements are not satisfactory enough when compared to other IITs. The average placement percentage is around 60% - 65%. Also, you’ll find that the salary packages offered to the students are not as per expectations. The Median salary offered to metallurgical and materials technology M.tech students at IIT Bhubaneswar are around 6 lakhs. Furthermore, if we look at the past placement records, there has been no improvement in the placement package offered to students for this program over the years. Not many companies recruit students from the metallurgical and materials technology field. Few companies visiting the campus are TATA Consulting Engineering Ltd., Hero Motocorp Ltd., Cognizant Technology Solutions, Goldman Sachs, Amazon, Indian Oil Corporation Ltd., and Infosys Ltd. You’ll be able to back up an average placement in these companies if you are good in your studies, but still, you cannot have very high expectations as there is no 100% placement, and students even struggle to get jobs involving core work related to their field.
