ECE started as an independent branch at IIT Bhubaneswar in 2016. Only around 10% of the students are placed in core companies like Marvell Technology and Qualcomm.
The rest of the students are placed in software companies like- Amazon, Microsoft, HSBC, Mathworks, Oyo, and Razorpay among others.
Thus, a lot fewer core companies visit the campus for placements as compared to software companies. Overall, the ECE branch placements are good.
For those who are open to shifting to the software domain, IIT Bhubaneswar is a pretty good option for your ECE. However, if you wish to work in the core companies, try to get admission to one of the old IITs.
