Which one is better, electrical engineering or electrical (power and automation) from IIT Delhi?
It’s best to compare both the branches based on the most common aspects such as
- Curriculum: The curriculum of both Electrical Engineering and Electrical Engineering (Power and Automation) covers a lot of common topics. The core courses of one may be available as either core courses or elective courses for the other, and vice versa. Only around 5 distinguishing courses are offered.
- Job opportunities: As far as core placements are concerned, the opportunities offered by both branches are quite different. Some companies might prefer students of one branch over the other. The non-core job roles offered are very similar in both branches.
- Competition: Electrical Engineering has better-ranking students than Electrical (Power and Automation). Thus the former has better competition than the latter. Someone who is among the top 10 in Electrical is among the top 2-3 in Electrical Power and Automation.
IIT Delhi Electrical Engineering offers slightly more opportunities in terms of peer quality and placements than the other.
IIT Madras electrical engineering or IIT Delhi electrical engineering, which is the best?
Unless you are considering IIT Delhi because of its location advantage, IIT Madras is the best option. No one ever leaves IIT Madras disappointed. Another factor people consider is the environment provided by the Institute. Most North Indians consider the culture at IIT Madras way different and thus end up losing focus and motivation. If you are affected by such elements, choose the Institute you think will have a culture and people similar to your tastes.
Many North Indians are settling well in IIT Madras and ending up in the top 5% of the batch. So what matters is that the Institute you are choosing should provide the kind of environment that motivates you to learn and excel.
You will face tremendous competition and thus you will have to stay focussed and motivated to do well in that kind of environment. It is extremely necessary to choose the right environment for you as you will be spending 4 years of your life there.
Thus if a certain Institute, for instance, IIT Madras has more facilities than IIT Delhi but you stay among average students in IIT Madras but among the top 5% in IIT Delhi, then the right option for you is IIT Delhi.
