How is materials engineering at IIT Delhi?
Some key points pertaining to the newly launched branch, Materials Engineering at IIT Delhi are
- Small alumni base: Because it has been established recently, it lacks an extensive alumni pool and has a few seniors only
- Curriculum: Being the recent most branch, the curriculum is well-updated in accordance with industry standards. Moreover, the workload is average and gives you time to focus on extra activities.
- Opportunities: The best part about this branch is the plethora and diversity of opportunities it has to offer. You are free to explore your area of interest along with the core coursework. It’s best for those who are not aware of their passion.
- Placements: Very few core offers are made to BTech in comparison to MTech students. But non-core opportunities are plenty for those seeking jobs right after graduation. Additionally, there are opportunities for higher education, research work, and entrepreneurship also.
- Faculty: The professors are keen to improve the image of the department and work passionately to do so. Their enthusiasm in turn is a driving force for the students to excel.
- Batch size: The branch has a very less intake with a batch of only around 40 students. However, this facilitates better student-student relations as well as better student-faculty relations.
Overall the department is new and has a much more interesting curriculum and diverse opportunities. Its research culture is almost at par with that of CS, Engineering Physics, or biotechnology.
What should I prefer IIT Guwahati civil, IIT Bhubaneswar Electrical, IIT Patna electrical and electronics, or IIT Kanpur material science?
All the mentioned institutions offer good academic opportunities for students. But in my opinion, Electrical from IIT Bhubaneswar is a better choice than IIT Guwahati Civil, IIT Patna Electrical and Electronics and IIT Kanpur Material Science.

The highest package offered is INR 66 LPA, the median CTC is INR 17 LPA and the lowest is around INR 8 LPA.
What is better, metallurgical in the old IIT (Kharagpur/Roorkee) or electrical in the new IIT (Ganghinagar/Mandi)?
I was in the same position as you last year. I too had the same options for my Bachelor and I chose IIT Roorkee due to the following reasons:-
- Some of the older IITs like Roorkee boast a longer legacy and are highly esteemed for imparting quality engineering education.
- Opting for Metallurgical Engineering at one of these older IITs, if your interest lies in materials science or the manufacturing industry
- Metallurgical Engineering can open up distinctive career pathways in areas like metallurgy, mining, manufacturing, and even research.
- IIT Roorkee/Kharagpur is ranked 5th/6th in the NIRF ranking while IIT Gandhinagar/Mandi is Ranked 18th/33rd.
- IIT Roorkee Metallurgical branch has an Average Package of 21 LPA with IIT Gandhinagar/Mandi EE branch at 24 LPA.
- Old IITs have better infrastructure and college life as compared to new IITs.
What are the career prospects after getting a BTech in materials science from IIT Gandhinagar?
BTech in materials science from IIT Gandhinagar opens doors to a plethora of career opportunities in industries such as aerospace, automotive, electronics, energy, and healthcare.
- Students who have completed this course can work in research and development, quality control, design, or production.
- The most common job roles offered are materials engineer, metallurgist, product development engineer, research scientist, and quality control specialist.
- People who are interested in higher studies can go for a master's or PhD degree to specialize in a particular area of materials science.
The future prospects can be further understood by placement statistics. IIT Gandhinagar Material Science and Engineering placements have been tabulated below

However, the core opportunities are less and most students end up with non-core job profiles such as Data Analyst, Business Analyst, Management Trainee, Research Analyst, and Consulting profiles. In the technical domain, you can be selected for automobile sector jobs, DRDO, material science firms, aviation industry jobs, and other industrial firms that visit.
Should I choose NIT Trichy metallurgy over NIT Raipur ECE?
My friend is currently pursuing B.Tech from NIT Raipur in the mechanical department. His honest opinion says that you should go for metallurgy at NIT Trichy. Here’s why
- If you went for the wrong branch or found out later that this is not your cup of tea, then after the 1st year you will have an option called branch sliding. In this process, you can change your branch from the current one to the desired one based upon the number of vacancies and score.
- If you went for the wrong college, then there's no option as a college slide! You’ll have to devote your 4 years in that college anyhow, except if you again decide to give mains.
So, if you simply want to get into a better place then choose NIT Trichy. This is because you can get the advantage of branch sliding anyhow. However, if you don’t want to take risk of not getting the desired branch, then go for NIT Raipur.
At last, sort your preferences and know your sole aim. Because in the long run, your happiness and satisfaction are what matters the most!
Which is better, IIT Indore for metallurgical and material science or NIT Rourkela for electrical?
IIT Indore is the better option for you, as they have experienced scholars who conduct effective classes for the students. There are a lot of misconceptions about IIT Indore, as they are new to this field and lack an alumni network, but they are more advanced than any other institute in India. They provide a resourceful atmosphere and good infrastructure facilities for the students. The final decision should be based on your core interests; for that, you can check the official website for the course curriculum in both institutes.
What is the scope of metallurgical and materials engineering at IIT Roorkee?
The scope of Metallurgical and Materials engineering or that of any engineering depends largely on where your inclinations lie and how much you are willing to work for it. There are several rare cases wherein a student of Biotechnology, the least preferred branch of engineering, is offered to a good company with a very high package.
IIT Roorkee and in fact, most IITs have low core opportunities but many non-core opportunities. That being said, it’s advisable for an IITian to learn to code for future security. IIT Roorkee offers the perfect culture to learn to code.
It’s a well-known fact that Sundar Pichai, CEO of Google, was also a BTech in metallurgy from IIT KGP. So I would like to conclude by saying that even if there are no opportunities at your door, create one!
