Both branches are good in their own field.It is dependent upto you on which field you want to go.

Civil Engineering is one of the discipline of Engineering profession that deals with the design, construction and maintenance of all type of manmade structures like buildings, roads, bridges, canals, dams, airports, sewerage systems, pipelines, and railways etc.

Industrial and Production Engineering is a subject that deals with the study of engineering sciences, manufacturing technology, management science and optimization of complex processes, systems or organizations .

But in case of placement I want to recommend you for civil.The scope of placement is higher in case of civil than production and chemical enginnering.

Hello,

I hope you are doing good,

Without a doubt, CSE IITR. The IITR coding tradition is the highest in all the major episodes, the highest number of selections in GSOC (Google code type) in the world since IITR (except 2017, peak in IIITH) from 6 years ago. The IITR team always leads almost all iits.There is a very high number of tech groups in the IITR among all IITS.Previous year the highest package offered was 1.5 Cr from Microsoft and 1.4 Cr from Uber (100% placement).

In Fact Computer Science is a really good field to explore, you will not regret choosing it.

Thank you.

Hii Rajeev,

Hope you are doing good.

Well, 289 is a very secure and safe rank in JEE advanced.

Eligibility criteria for qualifying jee advanced:

Minimum 75% should have been secured in 12th standard (or equivalent) examination. For the SC/ST/PwD category, the aggregate marks is minimum 65% OR. The candidates should be within the top 20 category percentile of the qualifying examination.

Other than this, each every document should be clear and original. Even if you secure a good score in JEE advanced but there is some issue with the documents, it might lead to disqualification of your name.

So, I hope you got my point very well.

ASk if you have any further questions.

Best wishes ahead.

Hello Aspirant..

Take a look at Ritik. Candidates have developed the idea that they will enrol in a college and then change branches after a year. Instead of focusing on their curriculum, they begin to concentrate on branch change. This has an impact on their outcomes as well.

However, because you asked about branch change at IIT Kanpur vs IIT Roorkee, I will recommend IIT Kanpur because they have a little more flexibility in branch change. At the end of the second, third, and fourth semesters, you can change branches. Although you would need to put in a lot of effort to achieve a cgpa of approximately 10 in cse and around 9 in electrical and mechanical.

However, I would advise you to follow your heart rather than what others say.

Regards.

Hello,

Congratulations on getting such good college and branch options. I will give you a preference list which will comprise of all these factors:

  • Overall ranking
  • Infrastructure
  • Location/accessibility
  • Branch that you are been offered(Core/interdisciplinary)
  • Placement opportunities
  • Industry Exposure

The preference order you should consider is:

  1. IIT Mandi CSE
  2. IIT Roorkee Mechanical
  • IIT Roorkee should be choosen undoubtedly above IIT mandi because of the huge reputation the college holds.
  • IIT Roorkee has also launched new school of data science and artificial intelligence.
  • It has also entered QS Graduate Employability Rankings 2022 with other IITs and IISc.

I would also like to add here that an engineering course should be very much taken with an interest in the field so I would suggest you to consider that factor and if you are not aware of the branches mentioned look them up on the internet more reliable will be to go through the syllabus on the respective colleges' website. An interest in the field is the key factor in deciding how your 4 years of college will be and what opportunities you will land for yourself.

Good luck, hope it helps!!

Dear aspirant,

After doing Msc. everytging depends upon your knowledge. If you dont have complete knowledge then clear all your basic and learn each and everything by giving at least 2 years since physics is a very strong and wo derful subject.

After the complete knowledge of physics you can prefer the competative examination which ISRO used to organize periodically every year.

After the exams you need to give interview which will test your complete knowledge of physics which will be based on Numericals portion.

Hopefully this will help you.
Thank you.

Hello,

IIT Roorkee is the 7th institution established among the IIT institutions. IIT Roorkee is one of the oldest and the biggest institutes of technical education in the country, hosting 21 Academic Departments, 1 Academic Centre, 3 Centres of Excellence, 5 Academic Service Centres and 3 Supporting units.Around 80 percent of the students were placed in this college. The highest package CTC was about 35 Lacs per annum and average was 13 Lacs per annum. Most of the company offered the roles for software developer, data Science, data analyst and graphic designer roles in Roorkee.

There are basic facilities available not very good nor bad. If you are going for fun and games this is not the varsity for you. And the faculty is not approachable as well.

Hope this helps!!

Hi,

The Placement criteria mostly depends on company. Many Technology Companies may set criteria that students from CSE and IT can only apply for them while many also have no such pre requisite. Companies like Microsoft, Google , Facebook have no such criteria. Any student can apply for their placement exams. However sometimes, College can itself impose restrictions on other branch student although that happens very less often.. If you know coding then definitely you have better chances of getting good package.

I hope this will answer your query.

Thanks!!!!
