I am a second year B.Tech Electrical Engineering student at IIT Roorkee. The NIRF 2024 ranking of IIT Roorkee and other colleges is given below:

  • IIT Bombay- 2
  • IIT Kharagpur- 3
  • IIT Roorkee- 6
  • BITS Pilani- Not Available (2023 Ranking- 25)

Though all the options mentioned by you are equally good, I am mentioning below the highlights of B.Tech Electrical at IIT Roorkee-

  1. The Electrical Engineering department of IIT Roorkee offers excellent placements. Top core, finance, and consulting companies visit the department for recruitments. 

During 2023, IIT Roorkee recorded the highest package of INR 1.3 CPA, and the highest international package of INR 1.06 CPA. Total 63 recruiters visited the campus with 500 job offers. Some of the top recruiters for the placement season were- BCG, Bajaj Auto, Flipkart, and Tata Steel. 

During 2024, Flipkart offered a package of INR 34 LPA, and the position of Software Developer. This offer was open to B.Tech CSE, Electrical and ECE students. 

Myntra offered a INR 30 LPA package for the role of Software Development Engineer, and this offer was open to students of B.Tech (CSE, ECE, EE) & MSM. These are just two examples. 

  1. Apart from placements, IIT Roorkee offers top class research facilities to its students. 
  2. With the rise of technologies like IoT, AI, and renewable energy, electrical engineers are in high demand in the current market.

The choice would ultimately depend upon your goals and interests, but I can assure you that B.Tech Electrical at IIT Roorkee will provide you with great academics, research opportunities, and placements.

There is no right option as it all is a matter of preferences that varies from person to person. So the answer is generic and can be helpful for someone who hasn't yet decided on a branch. My preference order will go from the safest to the riskiest option.

  1. Safest option-IIT Bombay: Without any doubt, IIT Bombay is the safest option among the three. The brand value and tag are more than enough to remove any risks in your life. A majority of students chose IIT Bombay just for the tag and end up with Finance roles or go for MBA.

Pros

  • The IIT Tag will help you get a higher salary and package than others
  • You get more exposure to industries because of the locational advantage

Cons: 

  • Students who choose a branch for the IIT tag and not because of interest in it may end up regretting it later. This will affect your overall performance thus making you regret the decision.
  1. The second safest option-IIT Kharagpur MnC: 

This branch is highly suitable for those interested in both CS and Mathematics. This option is safe in the sense that an average CGPA might get you a non-core job while a good CGPA then this branch has a high employment rate and will work in your favor. Its graduates are highly demanded today.

  1. Most Risky - BITS Pilani CSE: This option should be considered only if you are cent percent sure about CSE, else you will be stuck here. CS enthusiasts may find this option even better than IIT Bombay.

Pros: You get the chance to pursue the most coveted engineering branch at an extremely reputed institute.

Cons: You will suffer a lot if you are not able to meet the performance standards of the branch. Moreover, you will have no option to go for Finance roles or higher studies which most IITians who are unable to do well in their core branch do. 

Thus we can conclude that being an IITian guarantee more success mainly because of the tag and the vast options available.

  • IIT Bombay Civil - Entrepreneurial Spirit, Life Quality, Safest Option
  • BITS Pilani CSE - Course of your choice that is highly coveted
  • IIT Kharagpur MnC - Interest in Mathematics and the IIT tag

The pros of each branch above can be considered to make a more informed decision.
