Which is a better choice, IIT Mandi Mechanical, IIT Dhanbad Mechanical, or a new IIT like IIT Tirupati Electrical?

TA
Tithi Aggrawal Posted On : October 19th, 2023
Lives in New Delhi

Both are really good colleges. They are considered as the top 2 NITs of North India. 

In CSE, a lot depends on your individual efforts. 

  1. Faculty- Both the colleges have good and average teachers. 
  1. Exposure- In terms of exposure, Jaipur takes a slight lead over Allahabad. It is a capital city with an international airport. Its location makes Jaipur a more favorable place for HRs to visit. 
  1. Infrastructure- MNIT has a better infrastructure. It offers single hostel rooms to second year students. Its campus is spread over 300 acres, and VLTC is the largest lecture hall complex in Asia. There isn’t much strictness for freshers. MNNIT is spread over 220 acres, but its hostels are in a poor condition. Even second year students are expected to live in four seater rooms. The authorities are strict towards freshers till the fresher party.
  1. Placements- In terms of placements, MNNIT has a slight edge over MNIT Jaipur. This year, 94.47% B.Tech CS students were successfully placed from MNNIT Allahabad. The average package for them was 27.57 LPA, and the highest package was 1.35 CPA.

Both the colleges are better in one or the other aspect. You should choose the one that best suits your personal preferences.

Which is the better option for me? Mtech IT from IIIT Allahabad or Mtech CSE from IIT(ISM) Dhanbad?

AM
Ahana Majumdar Posted On : June 19th, 2021
M.Tech CSE - IIT (ISM) Dhanbad, 2020

The first thing you should consider is whether you want to pursue a Ph.D. or want a job after the completion of the course. I have a few friends at IIT ISM and I can tell you there are very few good faculties for CSE if you want guidance regarding Ph.D.

For any information regarding the faculty and research projects of IIIT Allahabad, you can visit both their faculty profile page and set a legitimate comparison with IIT (ISM).

Here are some other parameters of IIT (ISM), which you may find useful.

Placements:

The job prospects are increasing every year and the change is noticeable since its conversion to IIT. The institute also had a new director from IIT Kanpur. There also was a significant change in the placement cell, and the M.Tech placement stats have been kept under consideration, alongside B.Tech only after that.

The latest stats are as follows,

No. of Students Placed

31 out of 58

Average CTC

INR. 14 LPA

Highest CTC

INR 43.31 LPA

Top Recruiters

Google, Amazon, Microsoft, Ernst & Young

Moreover, the summer and 6-month internships have also been good over the past few years. For instance, the 2021 passing out batch has received several summer intern offers from companies like Goldman Sachs, Amazon, and Microsoft.

If you prepare for the coding session interviews from the beginning of the 1st year, then you are more likely to obtain internship opportunities. You can convert it to PPO before the placement season begins.

Other Parameters:

There is another thing you should consider. It is the number of students from either CSE or IT in B.Tech + M.Tech taking part in the placement season,

A total of 372 students participated in the placement drive from IIIT Allahabad while 203 participated from ISM Dhanbad.

However, there might not be a significant difference between companies that visit both institutes. Fewer participants in placements mean less competition.

So, I will suggest that you take all these factors into consideration and also do your own research. Consider other options too, if you have any.

What should I take IIT Dharwad or IIT Bhilai with Electrical Mechanical or IIT Dhanbad with Petroleum?

SN
Souvik Nayak Posted On : January 11th, 2021
B.Tech Mechanical Engineering, Indian Institute of Technology, Dhanbad (2018)

IIT Dhanbad is known for offering the best program for a degree in Petroleum around the world. You will have the chance to secure a job with top companies with high packages, sometimes even leading up to 20 LPA. 

The table below gives a brief insight into the institutes. 

Particulars

IIT Dharwad Electrical 

IIT Bhilai MEchanical 

IIT Dhanbad Petroleum 

Placement Rate

60%

65%

80%

Highest CTC

14 LPA

8 LPA

32 LPA

Average CTC

6 LPA

3.5 LPA

8 LPA

Current scenario:

  • The number of high paying placements for Petroleum Engineering has considerably reduced after the institute became an IIT. If you have confidence on securing a well-paying job then go ahead and apply for the course in Petroleum.
  • If placement is important to you then you might want to reconsider your options. Electrical and Mechanical observe a high number of placements considering they are core branches of Engineering. Petroleum being a niche field of study sees fewer placements.

Infrastructure: (Winning Institute - IIT Dhanbad)

  • IIT Dharwad and IIT Bhilai are fairly new and therefore still do not offer a fully-developed campus. 
  • IIT Dhanbad, on the other hand, has a well-developed campus that offers students all modern and updated facilities such as practical labs, multiple academic blocks, a digital library, and more. In terms of Infrastructure, IIT Dhanbad is way better.

Both options have their advantages and disadvantages so weigh in those and choose as you see fit.
