The placement for MSc.-PhD in Atmosphere and Sciences at IIT Bhubaneswar is not that impressive. Although the overall placement at this IIT is quite decent and the placement rate is around 90% with an average CTC of 11.4 LPA. But the placement statistics for the M.Sc courses are not good. Only a few teaching institutes visit the campus during the placement drive recruiting students mainly from courses like Mathematics and Physics, etc.

The department of Atmosphere and Sciences at IIT Bhubaneswar is still developing and there is a shortage of faculty members in this department but there are visiting faculties from the different institutes.

In terms of average package and placement rate, the 2019-20 placement drive of IIT Bhubaneswar went well for core branches like Civil.

Placement Data:

Here's an overview of 2020's placement data for Civil Engineering of IIT Bhubaneswar.

• For the academic year 2019-20, the bath strength of Civil Engineering was 31.

• 62% of Civil Engineering students got placed, 6 students from a total of 31 didn't participate in the placement process.

• The average package increased to more than half with a 54% rise which made it to 11.51 LPA, but that of a core placement average was 10.7 LPA.

• Out of the students placed, only 6 were placed with core companies, the rest went to non-core companies.

• HPCL and IOCL were two PSUs that selected candidates from the core branches. Larsen and Toubro also attended the placement drive this year.

Few of the students who did not take part in the placement process are preparing for competitive examinations like, GATE or UPSC, also some of them decided to change their field which is different from Engineering. Overall the placement record for Civil is good and it is likely to get better after the pandemic ends.

The first batch of the ECE branch of IIT Bhubaneswar was supposed to get passed out in the academic year 2020. IIT Bhubaneswar has offered Electrical Engineering since its inception. But earlier this branch was a combination of traditional Electrical and Electronics Engineering (EEE) and Electronics and Communication Engineering (ECE). fROM 2016, these two batches have been divided. For the placement section, many-core companies, PSU’s and software companies are the recruiters of IIT Bhubaneswar.

Placements:

• In the first batch of ECE placements around 10% went for the core companies like Marwell Electronics and Qualcomm. 
• Many were placed in the software companies including Amazon, Microsoft HSBC, Mathworks, Oyo, Razorpay, and many more. 

It can be said that the first batch has done pretty well.

If you are willing to change the domain to a software company you should definitely opt for IIT Bhubaneswar but for the core companies, any old IIT would be a better choice.

M.Tech in metallurgical and materials technology at the Indian Institute of Technology Bhubaneswar will introduce you with immense exposure opportunities, good Infrastructure, and well-qualified faculties. However, when it comes to placements for M.Tech students particularly in metallurgical and materials technology, the placements are not satisfactory enough when compared to other IITs. The average placement percentage is around 60% - 65%. Also, you’ll find that the salary packages offered to the students are not as per expectations. The Median salary offered to metallurgical and materials technology M.tech students at IIT Bhubaneswar are around 6 lakhs. Furthermore, if we look at the past placement records, there has been no improvement in the placement package offered to students for this program over the years. Not many companies recruit students from the metallurgical and materials technology field. Few companies visiting the campus are TATA Consulting Engineering Ltd., Hero Motocorp Ltd., Cognizant Technology Solutions, Goldman Sachs, Amazon, Indian Oil Corporation Ltd., and Infosys Ltd. You’ll be able to back up an average placement in these companies if you are good in your studies, but still, you cannot have very high expectations as there is no 100% placement, and students even struggle to get jobs involving core work related to their field.

M.Tech placements in IIT Bhubaneswar for ECE is quite impressive. Although for undergraduates, ECE is one of the new branches in IIT Bhubaneswar but M.tech in electronics and communication has been present at this institute for many years. The School currently offers M.Tech in Electronics & Communication Engineering specializations with an intake student strength of 18. The program duration is 2 years where the second year is fully dedicated for research purposes only. The M.Tech Electronics and Communication Engineering program focuses on providing students an insight into research areas such as Communication Engineering, Signal Processing, and others.

Recently, IIT Bhubaneswar signed MoU with many universities for various purposes like research and student exchange. The institute also collaborates with foreign universities such as University of Warwick, University of Southampton, University of Massachusetts Dartmouth, University of Western Ontario, University of New York, University of North Dakota USA, and McGill University. Which gives the students excellent internship and research opportunities.

According to 2019 placement trends, almost 68% of the M.Tech batch got placed in core and other sectors. The highest number of job offers were from the core sector. A total of 89 companies visited the campus for placement drive and the average placement package offered was around 11 LPA.
Companies like Adobe, Amazon, Accenture, Affine Analytics, HCL, HPCL, Ittiam, Infosys, KIIT, Go-Jek, Goldman Sachs, and many others visited the campus for recruitment. PSU’s like ISRO, IOCL, NCCBM also participated in the placement drive to recruit students.

Among the different types of specialization in electrical engineering, MTech in power systems is a leading specialization from IIT Bhubaneswar. There are 40% of the seats for the electrical engineering department among the total seats. In each year there are 10 elective subjects you can choose from.

Now let's have a look at the most important thing which is placement. You will get the privilege of sitting for major companies like Google, Apple, Microsoft, TCS, Intel, Cognizant, etc. Apart from these, there are also lecturer jobs from the coaching institutions and universities. In 2019 there was 69% placement from M.Tech courses. One thing to be kept in mind regarding the placements is that you can apply up to a maximum of 60 companies.

IIT Bhubaneswar has had excellent placement trends over the years, especially for BTech CSE. Over the years, the major recruiters at IIT Bhubaneswar for CSE have been Adobe, Amazon, Capgemini, Deloitte, and the likes. From 2017 to 2019, BTech CSE was the branch with the highest placement rate.
