To talk about M.Tech placement, the report of 2018 states that the institute saw around 60% placement. Companies that visited the campus for recruitment are Adobe, Amazon, Infosys, Accenture, KIIT, Affine Analytics, HCL, Go-jek, HPCL, Goldman Sachs
IOCL, ISRO, Ittiam to name a few. Highlights of placement report 2018 of IIT Bhubaneswar show that the highest number of jobs were offered in core industries.
Following is the sector-wise placement analysis for M.Tech at IIT Bhubaneshwar:
Despite being a new IIT, the placement scenario at IIT Bhubaneswar is quite good and there has been a surge in placement rate in recent year. According to 2019 placement highlights, the overall placement rate at this IIT was around 90%. Whereas for M.Tech students the placement rate was 69%. For an M.Tech student in computer science engineering, the minimum package for the placement in this year was 9 lakhs per annum and the maximum was 24 lakhs per annum. A total of 89 companies took part in the placement drive including many MNCs and PSUs. Top recruiters were Amazon, Microsoft, Goldman Sachs, KPMG, L&T, Deloitte, Directi, IBM, Tesco, Samsung, Apple Inc, Adobe, etc. Apart from placement students also get great internship opportunities with good pays.
In IIT Bhubaneswar the placement rate of a dual degree program is comparatively lower than that of a B.Tech course. While some companies do not discriminate between the two degrees but there are also some companies that give preference to B.Tech students and offer them a better salary package.
A Dual degree takes 5 years for a student to complete and students who opt for dual degree programs mostly want to pursue research in the field or want to have an academic career rather than working in MNCs. Dual degree programs are more research-oriented and will provide you with further knowledge about the subject.
I think choosing CSE at IIT Bhubaneswar is a better option than opting for CSE at IIT Ropar.
IIT Bhubaneswar CSE is better. It is an older institute with a bigger alumni base. According to the highlights of IIT Bhubaneswar placements 2022, CSE had an average CTC of INR 22.40 LPA. While the highest CTC received by the student of the branch was INR 44 LPA. The placement rate was INR 98.15%.
Considering the two options, ECE from IIT Bhubaneswar is a better one. IITs have a brand name and the faculty and atmosphere of an IIT are top-notch, regardless of the branch.
But if you are interested in CSE, NIT Rourkela is a good institution, you can surely go for it.
If you are not concerned about the branch, then joining the older IITs like IIT Delhi or IIT Madras is the best option. There you will get better exposure and whichever stream you choose, you will have access to the best minds.

Both institutions are well-renowned and you can choose between the two based on your personal preference of stream, location, etc.
Both BITS Goa and IIT Bhubaneswar are reputed academic institutions in India. However, IIT Bhubaneswar is a better choice as IIT is one of the top academic institutions for engineering in the country.
I am a third year B.Tech ECE student at IIT Bhubaneswar. ECE is one of the newer branches at IIT Bhubaneswar. Its first batch graduated in 2020.
The number of software companies that come for recruitment of ECE students is comparatively more than core companies. Marwell Electronics and Qualcomm are the core companies that recruit ECE students from IIT Bhubaneswar. Amazon, Microsoft, HSBC, Mathworks, Oyo, and Razorpay offer software related jobs to ECE students.
