Which one is better: mechanical engineering at IIT Roorkee or production and industrial engineering at IIT Delhi?
I am a student of Mechanical Engineering at IIT Roorkee. Both IIT Delhi and IIT Roorkee are top engineering colleges, so the choice should be based on which stream would be the best for you.
Here is a comparison between Mechanical Engineering at IIT Roorkee and Production and Industrial Engineering at IIT Delhi-
| Parameter | Mechanical at IITR | Production & Industrial Engg. at IITD |
|---|---|---|
| Scope of Study | Design, Manufacturing,Thermal Sciences, and more. | Production Systems, Operations Management, Supply Chain Management, and Industrial Engineering Principles. |
| NIRF Engineering Ranking 2024 | 6 | 2 |
| Median Package | INR 17 LPA | INR 20.50 LPA |
| Recruiting Companies on campus | Accenture, Adobe, CITI Bank, Facebook, Honda Cars, IBM,Oracle, PayPal, TATA, and others. | Google, Microsoft, ICICI Bank, Anheuser-Busch Inbev, JP Morgan, Case and Corporation, and others. |
| Level of Difficulty | More Difficult and Time Consuming | Comparatively Easier. Will spare you time for coding and hobbies. |
If Mechanical Engineering interests you, I would suggest you choose IIT Roorkee. It is a great institution, and you'll get plenty of learning on campus.
Comments
The choice of the Institute as well as the branch is specifically based on your inclinations and only you can make the wisest decision. However, some points that will assist you in making an informed decision are
- IIT Delhi is a winner when it comes to an urban location with a lot of exposure and opportunities outside of campus
- Production and Industrial Engineering is a much lighter program in comparison to Mechanical Engineering and will spare you time and energy for pursuing other hobbies or interests or inculcating new coding skills
- IIT Delhi is the best choice for future entrepreneurs as it helps in incubating ideas and Delhi itself is a hub of startups
However, if you are inclined to Mechanical, then choosing production is not wise. Ultimately, more than the branch and institute, what matters is how well you manage your time and learn additional skills.
