Which is better, IIT Bhubaneswar or old NITs?

IIT & NIT are different in a number of ways and judging on the placement figures, one should not make any decisions. Although old NITs may offer better placement as compared to the IIT Bhubaneswar, there are few factors that make IIT Bhubaneswar a worthy choice. IITs have a brand value that is globally recognized however NITs as a brand don’t offer the same. They demand higher cut off marks during selection as compared to NITs. This results in a better quality of students and in turn better placements.

IITs offer better engineering faculties, however being a new IIT, it still does not have the required number of faculty members. IIT Bhubaneswar collaborates with esteemed institutions like ISRO, DRDO, BARC, etc. Students of IIT Bhubaneswar receive cushy internship offers from some of the globally renowned organizations like Google, Amazon, and Microsoft. NITs research work is not at the same level. With a spacious campus and state-of-the-art research labs, IIT Bhubaneswar provides good infrastructure. Past placement records from NITs indicate that the average pay package offered to the students (B.Tech) is somewhere between Rs 40,000 and 42,000 monthly. Whereas, the average CTC Offered at IIT Bhubaneswar was around 11.44 LPA. 39 LPA was the highest CTC. PSUs like ISRO, DRDO, IOCL, HPCL, ONGC visited the campus for recruitment. Other top recruiters were Amazon, Microsoft, Goldman Sachs, KPMG, L&T, Deloitte, Directi, Reliance Industries, IBM, Tesco, Samsung, Apple Inc, Adobe, Tata Steel, Tata Power, Trident Group, UnitedHealth Group, etc. A total of 89 companies visited the campus for placement drive. Although, variance among the salary packages depends on the ability of candidates and academic performances. All institutes have their pros and cons, so choose an institute based on which course you are interested in and how good is that specific course in that institute.
