IIT Roorkee MSc Admission 2024: Cutoff (Out), Fees, Syllabus, Seats, Application Process

I am a student of MSc. Economics at IIT Roorkee. Here are some advantages of joining this institution for an MSc. in Economics:

• The classrooms and library are well-equipped at IIT Roorkee.
• The teaching quality is excellent.
• All the professors are very helpful and highly qualified.
• The department of Economics at IIT Roorkee conducts various programs to make its students industry ready. The students are guided on important topics such as how to crack an interview.
• The department students receive internship offers from prestigious organisations like RBI and Ministry of Finance, and the private sector.
• The hostel facilities at IIT Roorkee are excellent.
• The median salary offered to MSc. Economics graduates during placements is around INR 12 LPA.

Based on all these factors, I would say that the MSc. Economics program at IIT Roorkee is worth opting for. 

According to me, B.Tech (Electrical engineering) from IIT Roorkee is a better option due to the following reasons:

• B.Tech electrical engineering is a 4 year program while dual degree (electrical engineering) is a five year program. This means that choosing IIT Roorkee will help you enter the workforce earlier.

• The B.Tech curriculum focuses equally on theoretical and practical learning. This will prepare you for industry roles. 

On the other hand, the dual degree curriculum gives more importance to research and specialisation in electrical engineering.

• Here are the 2023 placement figures for IIT Roorkee and IIT KGP:

Unfortunately, the branch-wise placements are not available for either of these IITs. 

I would recommend you choose B.Tech Electrical at IIT Roorkee over Dual Degree in Electrical at IIT KGP due to the above reasons. 

The fees structure for the MTech program at IIT Roorkee is as follows

Here is a comparison between Mechanical Engineering at IIT Roorkee and Production and Industrial Engineering at IIT Delhi-

If Mechanical Engineering interests you, I would suggest you choose IIT Roorkee. It is a great institution, and you'll get plenty of learning on campus.

IIT Roorkee is a better option for an MBA. It is not just the IIM tag that one should consider while choosing a business school. There are various factors like the establishment year of an institute, course fee, location, placement scenario, faculty, infrastructure, alumni network, etc. that must be considered during the selection. 

IIT Roorkee is a well-established institution with a long history of excellence. Its Department of Management Studies (DoMS) has been functioning since 1998. On the other hand, IIM Amritsar is one of the newer IIMs in India, having been established in 2015. 

Here are the MBA placement statistics of both DoMS (IIT Roorkee) and IIM Amritsar for 2023:

IIT Roorkee offers good placements, but more than that, it provides a rich academic environment to its students. The students of DoMS don’t just interact with each other, but also with the students of other departments like engineering. This enhances their understanding of things, and helps in the exchange of diverse perspectives. 

IIT Roorkee is much older to IIM Amritsar, which is why it offers a rich alumni network and a strong brand name. 

Because of these reasons, I would recommend you choose IIT Roorkee over IIM Amritsar for an MBA. 

IIT Roorkee, IIT Hyderabad, and IIIT Hyderabad are all known for their top notch education and placements. Here is a comparison among these institutions:

Among the two IITs, IIT Roorkee will be a better choice because of its brand name and industry connections. The placements at IIT R are top notch. On the other hand, if you choose IIIT Hyderabad, you’ll get the benefit of a great coding culture, and this institute also delivers really good placements in CSE. 

Out of my personal experience, I can assure you that IIT Roorkee is a great choice for your M.Tech CSE in terms of opportunities, faculty, academics, and placements. 

I am a second year student at IIT Roorkee. There are several reasons why choosing Applied Math at IITR over CSE at a newer IIT is a better option.

• IIT Roorkee has a strong national and international reputation as it is one of the oldest universities. Its alumni network is extensive and well-regarded. While IIT Bhubaneswar and IIT Jodhpur are rapidly growing and improving, they still don’t have the same recognition or reputation as IIT Roorkee.
• IIT Roorkee has a highly experienced and qualified faculty, particularly in the Mathematics Department. The exposure to high-quality teaching and mentorship can significantly enhance your academic experience.
• The Applied Mathematics program at IIT Roorkee offers strong theoretical foundations and practical applications, preparing you for diverse career paths.
• IIT Roorkee has a strong placement cell and a track record of excellent placement statistics across all departments. Companies value the IIT Roorkee brand, and students from Applied Mathematics often secure positions in top-tier companies, financial institutions, and reseorganizationstions.

Based on all these factors, I suggest you choose Applied Math at IIT Roorkee over CSE at IIT BBSR/Jodhpur.
