Congratulations on your allotment at IIT KGP. If you have freezed the seat and got the seat allotment letter after seat acceptance fee payment on the Josaa Portal, wait for the Document Verification Date. I believe this year the process is Online and you will be given a particular slot.

Post Document Verification and all the JOSAA rounds you will receive an email from IIT KGP/ERP IIT KGP for formal institute registration and identity verification on the official SAP/ERP Portal and you have to act accordingly. The Email will also give you instructions regarding Institute fee payment and Hall Allotment. You will finally get your Institute Roll Number in the ERP Profile. Till then Chill and Relax, perhaps check the IIT KGP ERP Portal as I believe a notification PDF might be released regarding New UG Admissions and Rules/Regulations.

I believe your classes and induction process might start online, however as planned in the Institute Calendar of IIT KGP, the New admits and their parents might be allowed to visit the campus and complete few formalities in December, subject to Covid Conditions and Transportation facilities.

All the best.

Yeah since you have got IIT KGP in Mock Round 2 there are high chances of you getting the same branch and institute in Josaa Round 1. There are hardly any new registrations post Round 2 and most students dont change the order of their preferences.

All the best for Josaa Round 1 Results.

Mining Engineering at IIT KGP is a really very risky decision according to me. You should not expect any placement prospects in Core as very few companies like Vedanta, Tata Steel , ExxonMobil and Coal India, recruit Mining engineers from KGP, that too in limited numbers. Of course in non core sectors like Analytics, Machine Learning and Consultancy, IIT KGP Provides you infinite opportunities.

Besides this you can also change your branch after first year, though you must not rely on it.You have options to pursue a Minor or Micro Specialization in another Department besides Majoring in Mining Engineering.In case you develop interest in Entrepreneurship or Finance in first year, you have an opportunity to pursue M.Tech in Financial Engineering and Engineering Entrepreneurship, which provides with excellent opportunities in training and placement.

In fact many students from Mining Engineering also go to Grad Schools in Australia and US post Bachelors and many also pursue MBA from IIMs after B.tech. Curriculum of Mining is such that it gives a lot of time to the student to pursue his interests, prepare for competitive exams as well as learn new technologies.

Overall if you come to IIT KGP, it is your responsibility to cultivate your interest and nurture them to supremity. If you are ready and confident to dedicate your efforts and ace campus life, you deserve a place in KGP and must choose that.

If you are not too confident, I believe NIT Calicut EEE provides better Core and Circuital Placement prospects in Electricial Engineering, and you must go there.

Hello dear student

Basically both IIT are really good but If compare the both branch metallurgy and mechanical engineering than the scope of mechanical engineering is better in present or future also so I think mechanical engineering will be good in IIT BHU .

You can use visit and compare your college.

If still have any queries than please post your queries or comments.

Hope that's helpful

Best of luck

I suggest you to go for NIT Trichy as it is one of the top NIT'S which is equally comparable to IIT'S and to choose ECE branch will be better for your future. If i say in terms of placements you will get easily with good amount of effort. But overall professors are nice and whether you are in any college professors are only guide you what matters is you self study to prepare yourself for the industry.

Ocean engineering and naval architect i don't think there is much scope even in IIT'S. IF You have other options like already you have NIT Trichy ECE go for that. it will surely help you in future!

best of luck!

Hello Aspirant,

See as per your rank you can easily get Instrumentation branch in IIT Kharagpur and ECE branch in IIT Guwahati as per previous year's cut-offs which you can check out from the link given below :-

https://engineering.careers360.com/articles/jee-advanced-cutoff-for-iits

So now let us discuss that what you should opt for future. If you are placement oriented and just want to get placed in any MNC or want to go in PSUs through GATE then ECE branch in IIT Guwahati will be the best option but if you are research oriented and want to have a deeper knowledge of different devices and machines and also want to go for Higher studies after graduation then Instrumentation will surely have a upper hand on you.

So now you can decide where you want to go. For further doubts you can use comment section.

Good Luck!!

Hey friend!

I think you should try to opt mechanical engineering from IIT BHU if you want to be branch specific as mechanical engineering is better branch than metallurgy . But if you want to be college specific then you should go for IIT Kharagpur as it is one of oldest IIT'S . Placements are very good in both colleges but IIT Kharagpur is ahead of IIT BHU . Listen your heart friend .

All the best friend!

As far as Non Core/IT/Finance/Consultancy Placements are concerned, both being top IITs provide substantial opportunities with good Pay scales and maximum packages lying between 14-20 LPA.

Core Placements for both your options are Bleak. Last year as far as I remember only 3 Companies lined up for Ocean Engineering Students, ExxonMobil, Indian Register of Shipping and Oceanergy. IIT Bombay Environmental too faces same dearth of Core opportunities.

I would advise you to forgo the top 5 IITs and target the Next 5 IITs. You will surely get either of Chemical/Metallurgical/Industrial at IIT Roorkee, BHU, Hyderabad, Indore and Guwahati.

Another choice can be taking a Core Branch like Mechanical , Petroleum or Chemical at IIT ISM Dhanbad.Core placements at IIT ISM are at an all time high there.

Hello aspirant,

You should choose the course you are passionate about rather taking based upon college.

At this point, you should follow your heart!

If you are a programme enthusiast, take CSE at MNIT.

Else, if you can believe in yourself that you can change your branch after first year and want to be a part of the IIT tag, then you can take KGP Ocean engineering. Although this stream also has some of its advantages which you will have to search for.

Hope this helps.

Good luck!
