MSc in Chemistry at IIT Bhubaneswar is better, keeping in mind the quality of education that you’ll receive, and the reputation of the institute:

•  You can opt for a joint MSc+PhD in Chemistry if you want to pursue a more research-focused program. 

• We have regular workshops and conferences at our department, wherein MSc. and PhD scholars can actively collaborate.

• The Chemistry department of IIT Bhubaneswar is active in research in various areas like-

• Coordination Chemistry

• Molecular Recognition for the synthesis of Exotic Organic and Organic-Inorganic Hybrid Materials

• Magnetic Materials and Magnetostructural Correlation

• Catalysis for Fine Chemicals

• Design and Development of Metal Complexes towards Catalysis and Anti-Cancer Drugs

As you can see, all of this is high-impact and extremely significant.

Thus, I would recommend you opt for IIT Bhubaneswar over Hyderabad School of Chemistry, for an MSc. in Chemistry. 

As a former student of MSc. Geology at IIT Bhubaneswar, I am going to shed some light on my department/institution:

• IIT Bhubaneswar offers an MSc. Geology program under the School of Earth, Ocean, and Climate Sciences. 

• The program's objective is to give students extensive instructions and training in Earth, Ocean, and Climate Sciences, including both basic and applied topics. 

• Additionally, students can also engage in innovative Earth System science research. 

• We have excellent faculty members at our department who are indulged in high-quality research. 

• The department students are indulged in workshops, presentations, and academic conferences at top institutes. 

• Last year, i.e. in 2023, the students of our department won the 1st prize in an oral presentation at the Research & Industrial Conclave, IIT Guwahati. 

Based on these factors, I can assure you that joining IIT Bhubaneswar for an MSc. in Geology is a good idea.

I am a second year B.Tech Mechanical student at IIT Bhubaneswar. NIT Surathkal is a top ranked NIT, but joining Mechanical Engineering at IIT Bhubaneswar has its own advantages:

• One of the best things about BTech in Mechanical Engineering at IIT Bhubaneswar is that it welcomes interdisciplinary studies and extracurricular pursuits like athletics, music, dancing, fine arts, entrepreneurship, social work, projects, and internships. 

• The faculty and academic atmosphere of the Mechanical Department at IIT Bhubaneswar is very student-friendly. The department has excellent faculty members with expertise in core concepts as well as high-impact research in various specialisations.

Here is a comparison between NIT Surathkal IT and IIT Bhubaneswar Mechanical for your reference:

Out of personal experience, I can assure you that B.Tech Mechanical at IIT Bhubaneswar is a good choice in terms of academics and placements. Rest, the choice depends on your personal preference. 

 I think you should go for M.Tech in Mechanical Systems Design at IIT Bhubaneswar. IIT Gandhinagar offers an M.Tech in Mechanical Engineering, but not specifically in Machine Design. 

IIT Bhubaneswar is placed #47 in the Engineering category as per the NIRF 2023 Ranking. The School of Mechanical Sciences at IIT Bhubaneswar has fully equipped labs. It has a state-of-the-art computing lab with thirty workstations connected to an eighteen-blade server.

Here’s a comparison between IIT Bhubaneswar and IIT Gandhinagar:

(The M.Tech placements data is not available for IIT Gandhinagar)

Although IIT Gandhinagar has a slightly higher ranking than IIT Bhubaneswar, the Mechanical Sciences Department at IIT Bhubaneswar has a much better overall value. 

I would recommend you choose IIT Bhubaneswar Mechanical Systems Design over IIT Gandhinagar Mechanical for your M.Tech degree. 

I am a second year B.Tech CSE student at IIT Madras. 

The 2024 B.Tech CSE cutoff at IIT Madras for different categories is mentioned below:

JEE Advanced Closing Rank for B.Tech CSE Admissions at IIT Madras (R-3):

At IIT Madras, you’ll be provided with a hostel room at the time of admissions. But if you want to live outside the campus, you must check out some PGs or Rooms nearby. 

Living outside the campus could be expensive. These are the places where you can look for accommodation- Adyar, Velachery, Besant Nagar, Thiruvanmiyur, and Mylapore.

Hope you find a good PG/Room for your stay.
