Which one should I choose: IIT Jodhpur, IIT Ropar CSE or IIT BHU Electrical?

Rishikesh Kumar
Raktim Tarafdar

All three of the Indian Institutes of Technology you mentioned are well-respected institutions with strong programs in engineering.

All the aforementioned institutes are at similar levels and will give you the IIT tag. So the final decision depends on your priorities more than anything. 

  • If you value the branch more than the college then the preference order should be IITRPR>IITJ>IITBHU
  • If you value the brand name of the college more than the branch then the preference order would be IIT BHU>IITRPR>IITJ

Without any doubt, IIT BHU is older and has a stronger brand value but it depends on which branch you will be getting. Ultimately, the best decision will depend on your personal preferences and goals.

Anil Tigga
Tejaswani GuhaB.Sc from Banaras Hindu University

Although BHU and IIT BHU share the same campus, these are not the same. BHU is a central university that consists of many faculties and departments. IIT BHU used to be a part of BHU until it become an IIT. Now, it is an autonomous institute and works independently according to the IIT rules and regulations.
