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.

IEM Kolkata as a college is just focused on getting marks and secure jobs during campus placements rather than providing quality education to its students to get some knowledge. The students were told to sit in campus placements with UEM students which was considered to be a very dis-organized step taken by the college.

The environment inside the college is very bad and the curriculum for students is worse. My sister studied here and she mentioned how the students are only concerned about getting any kind of job during the campus placement so the institution can maintain their reputation resulting in more admissions in the coming years.

They don't care about improving the knowledge or skills of a student. The rules of the college are really difficult sometimes. Like if you're seen at the library you can be restricted for bunking class. Also the teachers are very rude and the students are scared of them.

These things leave a bad impression on the students about the department and the college too and ruin the name of the college. These problems should be solved immediately and not only in this college, it should be fixed in every college where such things happen.

Considering the recent placement statistics, Metallurgical Engineering is the best stream to opt for in BIT Sindri. 

Dividing the total number of students placed by the total number of students in the final year of a batch, the placement ratio for Metallurgical Engineering is maximum. This makes it the most successful branch in terms of placement in BIT Sindri.

The table below gives a brief overview of the Metallurgical Branch in BIT Sindri.

Key Highlights:

• The students of BIT Sindri utter a quote- “Metal is Settle”. This defines the fact that Metallurgy Engineering has a huge number of opportunities in the institute.
• Although the department provides maximum placement opportunities, it is advised to follow one’s own passion, seek it and succeed in it.
• Candidates, who have a genuine interest in Mechanical, Electrical, etc, should opt for the same. It will provide them enough enthusiasm to perform and excel in it.
• Students should not always run for placements. There are instances in which students take any stream in which they have no interest and eventually fail to get placed.

So, being honest to one’s own self is the best objective while choosing streams, with interest in the chosen one.

The average and highest package for every department varies from year to year in BIT Sindri. But, there are similarities in the figures every year, and the average package is found to be somewhat close to 3.5 to 4 Lakhs per annum for Computer Science. 

There are some companies, like Mu Sigma who offer 8 Lakhs per annum or even more, which can be considered as the highest package in recent years.

The table below gives the placement statistics for the past few years for Computer Science in BIT Sindri.

Therefore, most companies recruiting in Computer Science offered around 3.5 to 4 LPA, except few companies, who offer more than 7 LPA in BIT Sindri. Having an average of about 70-75% placement in CSE, BIT Sindri provides a decent average graded placement.

It depends on what you expect as the final outcome from your degree. If you are looking for just a degree, SGSITS is a good choice. But doing engineering just for the sake of it does not make sense. You should figure out what branch you want to study in before making any decisions.

BM and IP:

These two will not fetch you that much capital since the placement options are limited. Your chances will only increase if you are from an IIT.

CS:

Computer Science Engineering is the most reputed among students. It will fetch quite a decent package but you will have to work for it on your own, irrespective of which institute you choose. 

ET:

ET is a branch that can prove to be quite fruitful for you. Placements are really good to a certain level and you are bound to cop some of the top ones if you study seriously. 

Choosing a branch is the most crucial step and you should decide that, on your own.
