Hello gautam,

Well it is a very subjective question , both branches are entirely different we cannot compare them, you should go with the branch which interests you more thats the sole criteria to determine, since these courses you wish to pursue are at IIT Madras both have good placement records , interships opportunities etc you will have to decide which interets you more whether its understanding the working mechanisms of heavy tools and machineries,dealing with construction, design, and manufacture of machines or  studying applications of physical sciences, life sciences, together with applied mathematics and economics to produce, transform, transport, and properly use chemicals, materials and energy for chemical engg.

Hope this helps

mining at iit bhu is good .
It at iiit Allahabad is also good.
If you want iit tag go for iit bhu.

Hello sharanesh, hope you are doing well .. well both the courses are very good! But as i researched i would suggest you to go for the electrical dual course from iit bombay as many of the companies choose to select the candidate with the dual year course.. if you are planning to do MS or mba then only for iit madras for electrical enginerring.. 

greetings,

it depends on your interest. if you go after the course of your choice and do not think about return on investment, the results will be better.

if you are confused go for aerospace at iit madras.

pls compare the syllabus of the two courses:

hope this helps.

Hey !
Yeah, there are bright chances for you with a rank of 1114 to get into Naval architecture and ocean Engineering branch at IIT Madras ( as you have mentioned belonging to a particular category) according to previous years cutoffs. As the cutoff usually fluctuate every year nothing can be said for sure.  Check the below link for a rough idea.

All the best !

Dear aspirant,

First of all, congratulations. The IIT Madras is the best option to opt when you choose civil engineering. It is one of the top five colleges in India to pursue civil engineering.

All the very best and have a bright future!

Shri varshini

IIT Madras has recently upgraded its position in the top engineering colleges of India and is currently way better than IIT Hyderabad in terms of infrastructure, faculty, quality of learning and placements. But, since you want to compare two different courses, you might have to look into your personal reasons for doing the course. Mechanical Engineering is the branch that uses the physics of motion and kinetics to develop machines and maintain mechanical systems. While electrical engineering applies the physics of electrostatics, electrodynamics, and magnetism to generate and transmit energy. So, you have to decide which course appeals more to you. Because, in the end, your course will definitely matter more than your college. However, if you feel you can do both these subjects, then I suggest going for IIT Madras for the sake of its reputation.

Hi Ramkrishna! 

Acc.  to me it actually depends on your choice or interest beacuse some student prefer college over branch and remaining prefer branch over college..According to me give preference to branch over college because many student prefer college and think he/she able to change branch in 2nd year of b.tech but branch change in any IIT is very difficult . If you can't able to chance your branch then you feel regret whole life for giving preference to college over branch.

And according to placement cells of all IIT’S , CSE always been good for us , because CSE have more core sector jobs then other branch.If you have any doubt in branch selection then you must go with CSE BRANCH. IIT-Madras definitely have better cultural, fest, infrastructure , alumni and placement cell but in 2nd generation and 3rd generation iit’s is still growing.. but 2nd generation is well established and core branch of these iit’s are really good…

So i think lot for your college and branch preference, but according to me give preference to branch over college.

or if you do not have any specific interest in computer science, then prefer better college.

Please upvote if this was helpful to you. 

Thank you and Good Luck. 

Hello,

I congratulate you for getting such a high rank in JEE Advanced 2019 . According to your rank you can't get CSE in IIT Madras but you are eligible for Electrical Engineering in this college . But don't be sad as you can easily get CSE in IIT Delhi , IIT Kanpur , IIT Roorkee and IIT Kharagpur .

I wish you all the best for the counselling !

Hello Rishabh,

The college Vs branch is one of the most common question in an aspirants mind. It clearly depends on which branch you are more interested in. As IIT M as well as BITS Pilani both are two of the best colleges in India. While Engineering Physics is more of a research oriented branch, CSE is job oriented. The purpose of your engineering and your interest are the only thing which should be deciding your college now. With engineering physics you would be getting deep knowledge of physics as well as accumen for engineering practices. You might be writing scientific papers in physics. In CSE, you will be getting a lot of opportunities in the booming software sector of India and might learn about machine learning and AI better than other branches. 

Still, if you are doing engineering for jobs, you should do BITS Pilani CSE as it's avg package is 22L which is a great package to start with.

IIT Madras is one of those places you hear about and imagine high-tech labs, brilliant minds, and a campus buzzing with activity. The library is huge and has pretty much every book or journal you could need. Hostels are decent, though some are better maintained than others, and the campus facilities like canteens, sports grounds, and Wi-Fi are reliable and student-friendly.
