Studies at IIT Bhubaneswar

If you ask me, I would suggest you opt for IIT Bhubaneswar to pursue B.Tech in civil engineering. My foremost reason is the fees involved.

Over the year IIT Bhubaneswar has significantly focussed on integrating their curriculum with industry-required skills which will be helpful in your professional journey.

The total tuition fee is around INR 8 Lakhs.
You will have to pay an additional amount of INR 220000 if you will avail of hostel facilities.
There is a one-time admission fee involved which costs around INR 20000.

Below given are a few pointers which will help you determine the better choice.

Civil Engineering Cut off in BITS Pilani is 269 which is to be scored in their BITSAT admission test. On the other hand, IIT Bhubaneswar’s cut off is 6546-13803 in JEE Main
BITS Pilani is a popular institution and can be compared with IIT Bombay, Delhi or Kanpur but IIT Bhubaneswar which falls under the category of newer IITs is not as popular as BITS Pilani.
Being a private institute, BITS Pilani has a higher course fee that is around 16 lakh. Whereas IIT Bhubaneswar is a Govt. institute and the course fee is much lesser than BITS Pilani, 8 lakhs(approx.).
BITS Pilani provides an average placement package of 12 lakhs for a civil engineer but a graduate of IIT Bhubaneswar of the same stream gets an average package of 10 lakhs.
The Engineering department of BITS Pilani ranks 4 by India Today, 5 in Outlook India, and 7 in The Week. The Engineering Department of IIT Bhubaneswar ranks 9 by India Today, 24 in Outlook, and 15 in The Week.
BITS Pilani will be a better choice to study core engineering than in IIT Bhubaneswar due to the former's popularity among recruiters.

A University should be chosen according to the students admission test scores, JEE rank, and also financial situation.
