Which one is better, naval and architecture engineering at IIT Madras or mechanical engineering at IIT Bhubaneswar?

The Naval and Architecture Engineering program at IIT Madras is offered in 8 to 10 semesters through BTech and BTech+MTech dual program levels. The department holds weekly events on hydraulics, motion stabilization, and centrifugal force. Both IIT Bhubaneswar and IIT Madras admit students who qualify for the JEE exam.

The table below highlights the differences between the two IITs based on ranking, campus, average package, etc:

Here is an overview of other highlights of both programs and IITs:

Admission Requirements:

• IIT Madras Naval Architecture and Ocean Engineering admissions are based on rank obtained in the JEE Advanced exam and JoSAA counseling.
• IIT Bhubaneswar Mechanical Engineering admissions are based on scores of JEE/JEE Advanced or IIT-Jam/GATE exams.
• Both institutes require students to have 75% marks or above in 10+2 with PCM.

Faculty and Infrastructure:

• IIT Bhubaneswar's Mechanical Engineering department has 19 faculty members and runs more than 20 labs for the program, including the Sense and Process Laboratory, Heat Transfer Laboratory and Fluid Mechanics Laboratory.
• IIT Madras's centre for innovation (CFI) is a student's lab for innovation funding in any field.

Placement:

• Students in the Naval and Architecture Engineering program get employed by the Indian Navy, ISRO, HAL, ADA, Larsen, and Toubro, etc.
• The highest domestic CTC offered to NAOE candidates at IIT Madras in 2019 was 48.8 LPA and the highest international CTC offered was USD 129,500 in 2018.
• 7 alumni from different departments manage the placement cell at IIT Madras.
• The Mechanical Engineering program of IIT Bhubaneswar saw an 80% placement rate in 2020 with an average salary of 12.80 LPA by companies like Mahindra and Mahindra, Infosys, and GE India.

Foreign Internships and research opportunities with John Hopkins University, University of Melbourne, Amazon, and Texas Instruments of up to 6 weeks-10 weeks are offered to students of the naval engineering program during winter and summer breaks.
