Hi Aspirant

A lot of students face this kind of dilemma during JOSAA counseling.

The most important point that must be kept in mind is going for a branch that interests you more. Try to gather as much information as you can about these branches from the internet and the people in these fields.

The choice between an old IIT and a new one is a difficult one to make. You must weigh the pros and cons.

Indore being almost in the centre in the nation and a better city than Roorkee in terms of opportunities for coaching for higher studies will be the better option if you want to pursue higher studies.

As far as rankings from various organisations go IIT Roorkee would be the better option. But IIT Indore is also growing at an amazing pace.

As far as Branch Change is considered , it is relatively easier in the new IITs than the old ones due to the number of students.

But in some IITs like IIT Hyderabad, branch change also depends on the branch you have taken and is much easier in branches like chemical engineering and civil engineer.

Hope this helps. All the Best.

Hi Aspirant

A lot of aspirants come across this kind dilemma over the years. There cannot be a single answer to it. I'll just inform you about the pros and cons of both the choices.

IIT Kharagpur is one of the oldest and most renowned IITs. It is one of the best IITs. You will have better Alumni Network.

But industrial engineering as a branch is traditionally less preferred as compared to mechanical engineering. One of the reasons being that it is considered Mechanical engineering in general has better placement trends and more opportunities as compared with Industrial engineering.

IIT Indore is a 2008 generation IITs. Although it is relatively new but it is growing at a great pace.

Weigh these options and then decide.

Hope this helps. All the Best.

Hi Sajjad,

Dhanbad will be best option for you. Because academics and placement statistics are much better than other college mentioned here.

Most of the core companies of mechanical recruit students from here with an average package of 10-12lpa . Even the infrastructure of the college is well developed. Even the locality of ISM Dhanbad is too good to spend your next four years.

Many techfest are organized here which will help you to enrich your skills.

Then, comes IIT Bhuvaneswar and then IIT Indore. Both are at par with each other.

Hope it helps,

All the best!

See the answer will be on my personal opinion. All this universities that you mentioned are great, renowned and far better than many of the other institutions. Still if you would like to compare the better in the 3, I'll find IIT (ISM) Dhanbad to be better and top than the other two. 

Well, before doing any comparisons I would like to tell more about the legacy institute.

1. It is a world renowned institution and is ranked 24th by QS world rankings-mineral and mining of 2017.
2. Internationally ranked 201-250 among BRICS nations in QS world rankings of 2016.
3. It was named to become the part of Mars Orbiter Mission by ISRO.
4. The institute has found the largest manganese ore deposit in India worth Rs 36000 crores.
5. It has many other innumerable achievements every now and then making a great impact. 

So at the end decision is upto you. 

Best wishes.
