Placement:

• A total of 948 offers were made for UG students at BMSCE. Total of 1034 students registered for the placement activities. More than 200 companies visited, and the highest package offered was INR 6 LPA.
• In 2019, a total of 851 job offers were made to the students at PES and the highest package offered was INR 48 LPA. Top recruiting companies were Amazon, Deloitte, Flipkart.

Both colleges offer scholarships and internship facilities to their students. Good exposure is given to research and development. Students can join any one of them depending on their budget, cut-off rank, area of interest, and location.

First of all, it depends on your interest whether you want to pursue engineering in Mechanical or Civil, and only then you can decide the better college. As the engineering branches are different it’s difficult to pick one college over the other.

Comparing the two courses in terms of placements offered last year, we see 83% of the Mechanical branch students got placed in IIT Bhubaneswar with average CTC 11.4 LPA. 77% of the Civil students in IITG got placed last year. The average package offered in IIT Guwahati was around 11 LPA while the highest went up to 39 LPA.

Being the older IIT, the infrastructure of IITG is good and the placements for both the core as well as the non-core sectors are also quite good. IIT Bhubaneswar has been showing good numbers in recent years and is developing gradually.

You can also look for some other options for mechanical other than IIT Bhubaneswar. If you manage to get a good score in Mains, you can look for admission in old NIT where you will get better future opportunities also good placement packages. While IIT Guwahati being an older institute is expected to attract many of the major recruiters from all the sectors and provide good CTC.

So, choose the college based on your branch of interest.
