Which one is better, IIT BHU mechanical vs IIT Mandi, Ropar electrical vs IIT Roorkee civil, considering college life and placements?

IIT Roorkee Civil Engineering is arguably the best in Asia. It has an impressive placement record for the Civil branch. According to the recent placement highlights the average CTC offered at the institute is 10 LPA. The brand value of IIT Roorkee has its advantages. BHU Mechanical department is considered to be notorious due to the presence of strict professors but at the same time, you will get a lot of opportunities to learn loads of stuff and also would get a very vibrant campus culture for your college life. The average CTC offered at BHU is 8 LPA. If you have inclinations towards the Electrical Engineering domain of engineering then you can go for Ropar. The only disadvantage for the institute is that many companies which offer recruitment opportunities at the Top 7–8 IITs do not offer any such recruitment opportunities in Ropar. I have friends at these institutes, and based on what I heard from them I will say keep Civil Engineering at IIT Roorkee as your first preference.

Which is better IT in IIIT Allahabad or Industrial Chemistry in IIT BHU or Civil in new IIT?

Choosing streams like Industrial Chemistry can be tricky. Generally, students don’t even understand the scope of the basic courses, let alone a specialized course like chemistry. Don’t go for such a course if you are not well-informed about the career prospect. If you are interested in civil engineering then dont waste time and apply to the new IITs. It is difficult to decide whether you are interested in a particular field. To find out you can get in contact with Civil Engineering graduates from good universities. Ask about their nature of work and growth in the field, etc. See if that sparks your interest. Also, you will have the option to go for GATE and appear in IES.

Which college would be better, IIT, Dhanbad (CS), IIT BHU (Electrical), or MNNIT Allahabad (CS)?

In short, if you do not have any particular inclination towards the Electrical branch, then opt for the CS branch any day. This is because, if you belong to the CS branch in any reputed college in India, you have better placements and career options. Regarding the choice between IIT, Dhanbad, and MNNIT Allahabad, IIT holds an edge over the latter. There are two major reasons behind this which are explained below: IIT (ISM) Dhanbad has better placement statistics when compared to that of MNNIT. Just give you an idea, the top recruiters at IIT Dhanbad include Amazon, Flipkart, GS, Microsoft, Uber. In 2020, the max CTC package at the IIT Dhanbad CSE branch was 36 LPA. Also, the average placement package was 13.7 LPA which is higher than the average of 11.47 LPA at MNNIT Allahabad. Lastly, IIT Dhanbad holds the bigger brand name of IIT which itself has many perks whichever industry you step in tomorrow. All in all, it is highly recommended to choose the computer science branch over the core branches as you can grab better job opportunities and a better salary. And for better placement and campus life, IIT Dhanbad is the best choice here. However, if you are interested in the core branch, then go for Electrical at IIT BHU.

How are the placements for an M.Tech in the IIT-BHU (Banaras Hindu University)?

How are placements for Pharmaceutical Engg. at IIT BHU?

The placements of Pharmaceutical Engineering at IIT BHU are presently not considered to be excellent but are at a growing phase. There are several reasons which lead to the not-so-satisfactory placement of Pharmaceutical Engineering, and some of them are listed in the key highlights. The table below gives a brief overview of Pharmaceutical Engineering at IIT BHU. Categories IIT BHU NIRF ’20 Ranking 11 Total Fees Rs. 8.62 Lakhs Median Salary Offered Rs. 13.6 LPA Total Number of Seats 80 Cut-off (JEE Advanced) 11691 Key Highlights: Just a few years back, the department of Pharmaceutical Engineering was called B.Pharm. This is one of the reasons why several companies can’t recognize the stream, and so didn’t open their recruitment procedure for the department to date. Slowly with time, there are companies who have started recruiting students from Pharmaceutical Engineering, which is evident by the fact that there are new names every year in the list of companies who have visited the campus for placement. Among all other sectors, the Pharmaceutical industry stands second among the fastest growing industries in the world. In the Pharmaceutical industry, there is immense scope for research-oriented works. So, most students are hired by organizations offering research profiles, and very few corporate jobs are seen to be offered to students. This is the overall placement scenario of Pharmaceutical Engineering at IIT BHU, which is not very good in quality and quantity, but is increasing with time and according to market demands.

"Everything About My College"

IIT BHU is the premium college of Uttar Pradesh. As I belong to Uttar Pradesh, IIT BHU was my first preference. As I am a general candidate I didn't avail any quota during admission. Admission to this college is based on JEE advanced results. I was admitted to the college in July 2019. The first week of the college is an orientation program in which we are free to walk out the whole campus and learn about the campus. Then after one week, our classes had started. One has to go through the counseling process to get admitted to the college.

Back then there were no separate exams of JEE Mains and JEE Advance. There were single IIT JEE Exams the exam was in 2 shifts and the score was based on combining both the papers. After JEE score we had to select our preferred order of different colleges and branches. Make sure you put your desired option on top.

"Best College For Everything"

IIT BHU is a premium college in Uttar Pradesh. As I belong to Uttar Pradesh, I prefer IIT BHU as my first preference. There are many good and some bad aspects of this college for good. The placement scenario of this college is perfect, and the teaching faculty is also so good, and overall the college is excellent in terms of everything. I don't like one thing about my college because the campus of the college is open campus so that outsiders can move in the college freely and no one stops them from doing this. Admission to this college is based on JEE advanced results. I was admitted to the college in July 2019. The first week of the college is an orientation program in which we are free to walk out the whole campus and learn about campus. Then after one week, our classes had started. As I mentioned, I am a UP guy, and the college is also in UP. That is why I prefer this college over other colleges. Before admission, I research this college on quora and also on the collegedunia.
