Which branch should I choose: B.Tech (Electrical Engineering) in IIT Roorkee or Dual Degree (Electrical Engineering) in IIT Kharaghpur?
According to me, B.Tech (Electrical engineering) from IIT Roorkee is a better option due to the following reasons:
- B.Tech electrical engineering is a 4 year program while dual degree (electrical engineering) is a five year program. This means that choosing IIT Roorkee will help you enter the workforce earlier.
- The B.Tech curriculum focuses equally on theoretical and practical learning. This will prepare you for industry roles.
On the other hand, the dual degree curriculum gives more importance to research and specialisation in electrical engineering.
- Here are the 2023 placement figures for IIT Roorkee and IIT KGP:
| Parameters | IIT KGP (Phase-I) | IIT Roorkee |
|---|---|---|
| Highest Package | INR 2.6 CPA | INR 1.3 CPA (Highest International- INR 1.06 CPA) |
| Top Recruiters (2024) | OLA, OneByZero, SecPod, SIRION LABS, TCS Research, and others. | American Express, Barclays, Chegg Inc, Flipkart, Google, Microsoft, Myntra, and more. |
Unfortunately, the branch-wise placements are not available for either of these IITs.
I would recommend you choose B.Tech Electrical at IIT Roorkee over Dual Degree in Electrical at IIT KGP due to the above reasons.
How are placements for civil engineers at NIT, Warangal compared to other branches like CSE?
Comparing a dormant branch like Civil with the most coveted branch CSE isn’t a very logical way of getting an idea of the placement scenario. Every student of the CSE branch ends up with a core job so its placement scenario is incomparable. Civil Engineering despite having a low demand has a decent number of core positions recruited.
Nowadays, the youth is not interested in joining PSUs mainly because of their low pay in comparison to software companies. Most civil engineering students are interested in core positions so the numbers in non-core aren't that great. Moreover, the number of students interested in MS, CAT, and GATE is growing every year affecting the placement statistics largely.
Here is a general comparison of placement statistics of both the branches

Which among IIIT Kalyani, IIIT Kottayam, IIIT Dharwad, and IIIT Ranchi is good for CSE?
One of my friends is studying at IIIT Kalyani, and he once tells me that this institute is nothing more than sarcasm. College administration and technical staff are just ridiculous, and there is nothing to say about them.
He also says that this institute does not even have a full-time registrar; rather, faculties are guest faculties from the local colleges.
However, this institute has planned to start PhD programs in recent days. Still, the reality is that the college administration is poor enough to handle the present student population that is approximately 350 students, very smoothly. It can be mentioned that the placement cell of this institute is completely unaware of its roles and responsibilities. They are an example of an ill-lethargic, lazy and greedy people group.
Thus, it can be concluded that this institute is visionless.
What should I choose between IIT Mandi Electrical and IIIt Allahabad IT?
One of my friends is a student at IIIT Allahabad pursuing a dual degree in IT. My older brother is a student at IIT Mandi, where he is studying electrical engineering. Regarding the whole situation, let me be absolutely honest with you.
- If you are interested in electrical engineering, you should first apply to IIT Mandi.
- Even if you are interested in CSE, you can choose IIT Mandi if you are confident in your ability to score well as branch change rules are less stringent there.
- The campus and surrounding scenery are both stunning at IIT Mandi.
- Since there are fewer students, there are more opportunities in every sector.
- There are better sports facilities, as well as the IIT designation. IIT Mandi is the place to go if you want to be more involved on campus.

You must now choose where you will spend the next four years of your life. Examine your long-term priorities and goals, and make decisions accordingly.
Which is better, an IIT KGP CSE dual degree or an IIT Roorkee CSE B.Tech?
Without any second thoughts, choose IIT Roorkee CSE B. Tech over IIT KGP CSE dual degree because dual degrees are usually less preferred by companies coming for placements.
It’s better to do MTech after BTech than to opt for a dual degree. The main reason is that in Masters you are open to changing your branch in case your interest goes to another field. But a dual degree means you will be studying the same field with no option of changing in between.
Another major disadvantage of a dual degree is that you are not eligible to change your branch to a 4-year program irrespective of your CGPA
You will see your batchmates leaving a year before you and getting offers and settling well before you.
IIT KGP no doubt is older and better than IIT Roorkee in every aspect. But as far as the program is concerned, a dual degree is not worth spending so many years at all.
