How is IIT Bhubaneswar for an MTech along with GATE preparation?
The IIT Bhubaneswar is indeed a preferable choice for Mtech along with GATE preparation. One of my friends did the same and got selected in ISRO, BARC, and NPCIL. Though, full-time preparation will not be possible as time has to be given for Mtech too. Most of the faculties are very supportive of job-seeking students, though not all.
- The best time for preparation is during the weekend when the classes are off. You can also spend a few hours daily on weekdays for the preparation after the classes.
- There is also an ample amount of free time available after the completion of each semester.
- The most inspiring aspect of pursuing Mtech along with GATE preparation is the syllabus of MTech. It covers a lot of topics such as advanced thermodynamics, advanced heat transfer, etc which are helpful for the preparation of GATE.
- Various of my friend's classmates also got selected in various organizations such as IES, IOCL, BARC, ISRO, OPSC, ONGC, BPCL, etc. The students who failed to get selected through GATE got placed through IIT BBS placement.
So, if you are thinking of preparing for GATE, along with your MTech, you should definitely go for IIT Bhubaneswar.

What will be the scope after doing an M.Tech in climate science and technology at IIT Bhubaneswar?
The trend of Climate Science and Technology is much higher in the Western world as compared to the Eastern world. However, China, Singapore, Japan, and Australia are among the countries that are investing heavily in the field of climate change. By mid-2020-2030, even India will understand the dangers of climate change. This is when such courses will become popular even in India.
At IIT Bhubaneswar, the data for M.Tech Climate Science and Technology placements 2023 was quite promising.

Though not as good as CSE or ECE placement statistics, it was at par with most other branches of M.Tech.
As of now, one can say that job opportunities and salary offers in the Climate Change field are not very high. In the coming years, there is a high chance that companies will look for professionals with expertise in the climate change department.
You should also consider the present situation deeply before making the final decision. As of now, this course has huge potential in the research field. However, job opportunities in the field of Climate Science and Climate Change are very limited, especially in India. Salary scopes will also differ from one university to another for any of the M.Tech branches and so you should also make comparisons with other universities.

How is Computer Science at IIT Bhubaneswar?
Computer Science Engineering at IIT Bhubaneswar is not at its full potential under the current situation as compared to other IITs. Being inaugurated in the year 2008, CS still does not have its own separate dedicated department or school and comes under the School of Electrical Sciences. However, the School of Electrical Sciences is one of the fastest-growing schools in IIT Bhubaneswar. This school offers an intensive research-oriented learning environment.
Although IIT Bhubaneswar is still in it’s developing phase, the placement scenario has improved significantly over the years. In 2019 there was 100% placement from the CSE department. The average CTC offered was around 11.5 LPA while the highest went up to 39 LPA. Many MNCs and PSUs took part in the placement drive.
Though still developing, IIT Bhubaneswar offers a decent CSE program both in terms of academics and placements.
