Which is better - metallurgy at IIT Kharagpur or electrical engineering at IIT Bhubaneswar?

The answer to this question is determined by what you are passionate about. A large number of students choose to go for electrical engineering. This branch guarantees a lot of lucrative placements. You can also hone your skills while working.

My friend graduated from IIT Bhubaneswar and he thinks it is a great institute for pursuing electrical engineering. The only thing missing in new IITs is exposure and strength.

IIT Kharagpur is an old IIT and things are very organized there as the old ones are more often than not. You will have more industrial connections and you can hone your skills in coding. You can enhance your knowledge of artificial intelligence and IoT among topics that are trending.

Most Indian students do not have much passion to work in companies based on core metallurgy. If you are concerned about your placements then the circuit branches like CSE, ECE, EE, EEE are better than the rest of the branches.

Electrical engineering involves a lot of mathematics along with physics so it is difficult. Metallurgy, on the other hand, includes physics, chemistry. Despite being a relatively easier course, if you happen to lose interest, completing the program can really become a chore. Both courses take a lot of effort to complete so choose wisely.
