Which is better, IIT Bhubaneswar for an M.Tech in EEE or IIT Dhanbad for EEE?
IIT Dhanbad is one of the oldest IITs, so it is a good choice to study MTech in EEE from there. However, being a student of IIT Bhubaneswar I would suggest opting for MTech in EEE from IIT Bhubaneswar.

Which is the best option - IIT Bhubaneswar for ECE or IIT Chennai for chemical engineering?
I am a third year B.Tech ECE student at IIT Bhubaneswar. ECE is one of the newer branches at IIT Bhubaneswar. Its first batch graduated in 2020.
The number of software companies that come for recruitment of ECE students is comparatively more than core companies. Marwell Electronics and Qualcomm are the core companies that recruit ECE students from IIT Bhubaneswar. Amazon, Microsoft, HSBC, Mathworks, Oyo, and Razorpay offer software related jobs to ECE students.
Here are the 2023 placement figures for B.Tech ECE at IIT Bhubaneswar and B.Tech Chemical at IIT Madras:
| Branch | IIT Bhubaneswar ECE | IIT Madras Chemical |
|---|---|---|
| Percentage Placed | 90.91% | - |
| Highest CTC | INR 44.62 LPA | INR 66.00 LPA |
| Lowest CTC | INR 9.65 LPA | INR 6.00 LPA |
| Average CTC | INR 22.85 LPA | - |
| Median CTC | INR 18 LPA | INR 17.00 LPA |
I would recommend B.Tech ECE at IIT Bhubaneswar over Chemical Engineering at IIT Madras because the former offers better placements in terms of median and lowest packages.
How is a mechanical dual degree at IIT Bhubaneswar?
IIT Bhubaneswar is one of the most promising new IITs. One advantage of new IITs over older ones is that the number of students is lower, so teachers will know you by name and it will feel like a close-knit family. You'll be surprised to learn that newer IITs have better placement statistics because they are more focused on placement, as opposed to older IITs, which are more focused on research to improve their world rank. Dual degree programs are also an option because at the end of five years, you will have two degrees, and if you go abroad for a second master's degree, you will have completed some of the courses in your fifth year.
So you'll complete your master's degree in less than 18 months. So you'll have an extra degree for only six months more. So dual degree programs are fantastic. For God's sake, it's an IIT. Take a chance.
Which is better, IIT Mechanical Engineering or IIT Bhubaneswar Electrical?
IIT Bhubaneswar witnessed 90% placement in 2019 at the end of the academic session. Around 89 companies visited the campus with the average salary offered was 11.45 LPA.
The placements of electrical and mechanical engineering from IIT Bhubaneswar were 86% and 83% respectively. The top recruiting companies that visited IIT Bhubaneswar in 2019 were Capgemini, DELL, Honeywell, L&T construction, TATA Steel, etc.
In general, Mechanical engineering (ME) is a more versatile course than other engineering courses. Mechanical Engineers are hired in corporate managerial positions. On the other hand, Electrical engineering (EE) can deflect their career towards software development and programming.
Both of these branches are excellent choices to opt from IIT Bhubaneswar where the placements record is quite good. So, pick the course you are interested in.
How is the M.Tech in thermal science course at IIT Bhubaneswar?
Being an IIT, it has some excellent professors in the mechanical department, hence academically one needs not worry. Moreover, many students look for thermal science specialization in IITs so that it can be a great choice. Talking about the mechanical engineering department at IIT BBS, it has some excellent, well-experienced professors, so academically, it’s reliable. The thermal engineering professors are working on various research projects so students also can assist them with a useful contribution and takeout some best experiences. Moreover, IITs provide many opportunities when it comes to Ph.D. or research assistantship from foreign universities if students want to go. As per the data, the placements of Thermal engineering is nearly 100% with 70% of them in industries and 30% in academic. However, if you are getting the same course in old/top 5 IITs or 3 NITs, then nothing like that.
What should I choose, IIT Mandi for electrical and IIT Bhubaneswar for ECE or IIT Ropar?

What is the syllabus for the M-Tech admission test at IIT Bhubaneswar in civil engineering?
Question papers from previous years suggest the M.Tech admission test at IIT Bhubaneswar in civil engineering follows the same syllabus as GATE. In the written examination, there are mostly conceptual questions from core subjects as well as questions from mathematics and aptitude.
So, it would be wise to prepare ahead of time by solving all the previous year’s question papers and also study the basics of all the subjects side by side. But as it is IIT, there is no boundary of the questions. So, cover your basics thoroughly.
Results of the admission test are declared within 1 hour of the exam. If you are selected, you need to get through document verification and an interview to get enrolled. Mostly, interviews are purely technical and questions are asked to test the basics concepts. The interview takes around 15 mins maximum and at least 3 Interviewers will be present in the interview board.
