I chose Mechanical Engineering at IIT BHU because it is a part of the prestigious IIT network. As a result, IIT BHU offers a strong academic and research environment. The Mechanical department of IIT BHU is well-established and offers good placements and industry connections.
With a bit more dedication, you can learn coding on the side while studying Mechanical Engineering at IIT BHU. This will ensure decent placements in the IT sector for you, in case you decide on opting for that domain in the future.
I would recommend you choose IIT BHU Mechanical over CSE at JU simply because IIT BHU will offer you much more exposure and better placements.
IIT BHU is one of the prestigious IITs of India and is 100 years old. The Mechanical Department of IIT BHU has good faculties and excellent lab facilities. Course Curriculum of Mechanical Engineering is designed in such a way to provide students with industrial skills. The Mechanical Department at IIT BHU has good placement stats having companies visiting campus for jobs in both cores as well as non-core profiles.
Some of the well-known core companies visiting the campus include DRDO, IOCL, HUL, Jaguar, TATA motors, Reliance, Maruti, L&T, BPCL, etc. The list of companies is not only restricted to the core, but students get offers from non-core sectors too like Software/IT, Consulting, Analytics, Finance, Education, etc. It has been observed that most of the students are placed in well-known organizations with an average package ranging from 10-12 lacs CTC. The Highest package in the core sector is around 31 Lacs CTC while in non-core is nearly 41 lacs CTC. Thus, the overall placement percentage of students for the Mechanical Engineering Department is above 90%.
JU is also a good college with some of the good faculties and infrastructure. It is considered one of the best colleges in West Bengal after IITKGP. One of the perks of joining JU is that fee is only 10k per semester which is quite cheap when compared to IIT BHU. Placements are very good and on par with other colleges and students get placed in top companies such as Amazon, Microsoft, Oracle, Adobe, Samsung, Goldmann Sachs, etc. Students were offered an average package of 12 LPA CTC while the highest being offered was 39 LPA CTC by Adobe.
It is difficult to compare two institutes for different branches. You should choose the institute based on your branch of interest.
