*The placement details for IIIT Bangalore were last updated on June, 2023.
IIIT Bangalore is known for its Computer Science program. It delivers some of the best placements, top coding environment, and a strong industry network in this area. But at the same time, its fee is much higher, and it does not carry the same brand value as the IITs. Moreover, a 5 year integrated program will cost you more time, unless you wish to opt for Masters’ later on anyway.
IIT Bhubaneswar ECE is a new branch as it started in 2016. The first ECE batch graduated in 2020. But the record of placement in other branches is good and that is why we can expect a good performance from ECE as well.
Also, IIT Bhubaneswar collaborates with foreign universities such as the University of Warwick, University of Southampton, University of Massachusetts Dartmouth, University of Western Ontario, University of New York, University of North Dakota USA, and McGill University. This means excellent internship and research opportunities are available for the students of this institution.
Because of all these reasons, I chose ECE at IIT Bhubaneswar and would recommend the same to you as well.
All the institutions are good. You must first decide which branch you want to opt for among ECE, EEE, and CSE.
