HEY THERE!!!

Both options - Chemical Engineering from IIT Guwahati and Mechanical Engineering from IIT Hyderabad are strong choices, but they differ in academic focus, campus culture, and placement outcomes.

IIT Guwahati Chemical Engineering:

  • This IIT has been around longer
  • Its graduates form a strong network leading to good job offers
  • Life on campus tends to be more settled

IIT Hyderabad Mechanical Engineering:

  • This IIT is newer but growing fast
  • It has a modern campus and teaches in new ways
  • Mechanical grads earn more on average (INR 18.7 LPA), but fewer get jobs (53.7%)


  1. Go for IIT Hyderabad Mechanical if you like machines and want a new-age campus.
  2. Pick IIT Guwahati Chemical if you want a time-tested IIT and enjoy studying chemicals.
  3. You can't go wrong with either; just think about what you want to study and where you'd like to live!
