Which should I choose, CSE at IIT Hyderabad or electrical in IIT Delhi according to placement?
If you are evaluating the institutes based on placements, then you will be pleased to know that IIT Delhi ranks 28th position in the Top 50 of Times Higher Education Global Employability University Ranking and Survey.
However, I feel placements should not be the determining factor as the IIT tag will get you placed with a good package irrespective of whichever IIT you choose. The primary determining factor should be your inclination towards a specific branch. If you target a specific branch just based on placements, you are likely to lose interest soon. This will result in a frustrated career. In fact, I have seen many students opt out of CS just because they realize that it’s not their cup of tea and go for average branches that intrigue them genuinely.

Which is better, ECE at IIT Guwahati or CSE in IIT Bhubaneswar?
Both ECE at IIT Guwahati and CSE at IIT Bhubaneswar are great options for you. However, the choice majorly depends on your personal choice and your career perspectives. I don’t have much idea about IIT Guwahati but I can guide you about CSE in IIT Bhubaneswar.
- The CSE branch at IIT Bhubaneswar offers excellent education curriculums that help you be prepared theoretically and practically.
- IIT Bhubaneswar offers excellent placement for the CSE branch with 100% of students being placed in the placement drive, with the highest package being INR 55.75 LPA, the median package being INR 20.31 LPA and the average being 20.18 LPA in 2023.
- Top companies like Microsoft, Amazon, and more recruit students from IIT Bhubaneswar.
Which should I prefer among IIT Hyderabad EE and IIIT Hyderabad CSE?
I don’t think you should even consider joining IIT Hyderabad EE when you have the option of IIIT Hyderabad CSE given the fact that it’s the 2nd best in India after IIT Bombay CSE. The course is very challenging and IIIT Hyderabad does not have a lively atmosphere like IITs. Rather, the entire focus is on CS courses and research work. Although the campus is very small and lacks any extracurricular facilities, it’s heaven for coders. The academic workload is terrible with intense competition among peers.
- So, if you are certain of your genuine interest in coding and are ready to get committed to it for the rest of your life, nothing will serve you better than IIIT Hyderabad.
- But if you prefer a more flexible learning environment with more courses to choose from, IIT Hyderabad EE is the right option for you. Here, you can explore more electives apart from EE and in fact, EE itself has some computer courses like data science, machine learning, etc.
Overall, both are excellent choices, and it’s only a matter of preference. Go for IIIT if you are certain of CS and go for IIT if you aren’t sure of your inclinations. Either way, you will not be disappointed.
Can one take ELE at PEC Chandigarh and then learn coding by himself in his free time and then get placed in an IT company like Microsoft, Google, Amazon etc.?
I have two friends who are Electrical Engineering graduates from PEC and are currently working in a good IT company. One of them was also among the only two people who cracked directly written.
Being from an electrical background, it can be tough to learn coding in your free time and also cope up with your syllabus and keep your grades high. But if you are persistent you can definitely do it. You might also need to study some CS/IT subjects like DBMS while learning to code. As many students of the institute suggest to secure a job in an IT company you have to take off-campus routes, as most of the top companies are not open for interviews for the Electrical branch at PEC Chandigarh.
But yes, it is possible to land a job at an IT company even after completing ELE if you can learn to code properly and work hard enough to make yourself prepare for the job.
Which is better, Kanpur civil or IIT BHU electrical?
Both IIT BHU and IIT Kanpur are one of the best and oldest institutes in India. But according to me IIT Kanpur is better than IIT BHU here are some reasons:
- IIT Kanpur generally ranks higher than IIT BHU in the NIRF rankings. As of the most recent rankings IIT Kanpur is usually within the top 5 engineering institutes in India and IIT BHU typically ranks between 10 to 15.
- Both IIT Kanpur and IIT BHU have excellent placement records. Electrical Engineering at IIT BHU has placement records with an average CTC is 18 lakh whereas Civil Engineering at IIT Kanpur also has strong placement statistics with an average CTC is 22 lakh.
- When it comes to research education and course curriculum IIT Kanpur is better than IIT BHU.
Considering the above points I could say go for IIT Kanpur over IIT BHU. Although, it depends on personal choice.
How and when does a student have to do an internship at Thapar University (B.E. Electrical)?
I have a friend from Thapar University and he was able to provide some information regarding this. In the B.E. Electrical course, you can secure internship opportunities twice, wherein the first one will be in the 8th semester, and the other one is a 6 week-long training period.
- Students who acquire placements with FTE+intersip or only internship have to continue doing it for as long as the contract is.
- Students who don’t secure any placement must work on their own to obtain internships. It’s better to choose an internship program at any core company. Elsewise, you will obtain lower grades.
For the 6-week training, you will need to search for internship opportunities, especially on your own in numerous parts of the industry. The firms can range anywhere from a reactor plant, a thermal plant, or a hydroelectric plant. It depends upon your academic exposure and credentials. The work should be related to the branch and the topics you are familiar with. Make sure to create the file with accurate and standard formatting, to avoid mark deduction.
Which is better, MNIT for CSE or IIT Mandi for electrical?
Although both programs are offered by prestigious institutes, I prefer CSE at MNIT to electrical at IIT Mandi. Considering only the branches it’s not a brainer that CSE offers much better placement opportunities than Electrical. I am not saying IIT Mandi placements are not good, it's just that they cannot be compared to MNNIT CSE placements.
I would suggest that you go for CSE at MNNIT rather than Electrical at IIT Mandi. Yes, you will miss the much coveted IIT tag but trading it with an NIT tag, better college life, and excellent placement opportunities is not a bad deal right? The moment you sit for placements and start receiving excellent packages in contrast to your counterpart electricals, you will realize how wise your decision to choose CSE was.
Which is better - metallurgy at IIT Kharagpur or electrical engineering at IIT Bhubaneswar?

- IIT Bhubaneswar has Btech as an undergraduate and MTech as a Postgraduate program for EE.
- The average course fee for the first year of BTech in EE from IIT Bhubaneswar is around INR 2.32 Lakhs.
- The placement scenario for the EE branch at IIT Bhubaneswar is pretty good with 92.86% of students placed in the placement drive.
- The highest package is INR 44.62 LPA and the average package is INR 19.05 LPA.
