What is lacking in the newer IITs (Patna, Indore, Jodhpur, etc.) that cause them to become less preferred by students?

The newer Indian Institutes of Technology (IITs) like Patna, Indore, and Jodhpur are generally less preferred by students compared to the older, more established IITs due to the following reasons: Brand recognition: The older IITs have a strong reputation and are more widely recognized, unlike the new IITs. Alumni network: Older IITs have a strong alumni network that can provide better placement opportunities and industry connections. This is lacking a bit in the new IITs. Infrastructure: Newer IITs may still be developing their infrastructure, including laboratories, research facilities, and campus amenities. Research opportunities: Older IITs typically have more research collaborations, funding, and ongoing projects, providing better research opportunities for students. Industry partnerships: Established IITs often have stronger ties with industries, leading to better internship and placement opportunities. Placement records: The track record of placements and average salary packages are stronger for the older IITs. Here is the comparison of the new IITs with an older one (IIT Madras): Particulars IIT Patna IIT Indore IIT Jodhpur IIT Madras NIRF Ranking 41 14 30 1 Establishment year 2008 2008 2009 1959 Highest Package INR 82.05 LPA INR 68 LPA INR 53 LPA INR 2.14 CPA Average Package INR 23.90 LPA INR 25.45 LPA INR 21.30 LPA INR 33.06 LPA Top Recruiters Google, Microsoft, Goldman Sachs, Vedanta, Reliance, Tata Steel and Adobe, etc. Microsoft, Zomato, Amazon, Capgemini, Qualcomm, etc. Tata 1mg, Samsung, Oracle, Flipkart, Publicis Sapient, Mercedes Benz, and Adobe, etc. Microsoft, Goldman Sachs, and McKinsey & Company, etc. Even though IIT Patna/Indore/Jodhpur are not as good as IIT Madras/Bombay/Delhi, they are continuously progressing. As a result, these new IITs are establishing their own place for higher studies.

Which is better: IIT Patna’s CSE or IIT Guwahati’s Mathematics and Computing?

I am a second year B.Tech CSE student at IIT Patna. Here is a comparison between MNC at IIT Guwahati and CSE at IIT Patna: Parameters IIT Patna CSE IIT Guwahati MNC Course Fee 8 lakhs 10 lakhs NIRF 2023 Engineering Ranking 41 7 Placement Percentage 98.65% 95.59% Highest Package INR 82.05 LPA INR 62.75 LPA Average Package INR 35.57 LPA INR 21.60 LPA IIT Patna’s CSE has better placement opportunities than IIT Guwahati’s Mathematics and Computing. Moreover, IIT Patna offers many clubs and societies for its students. These include- RnA or Robotics and Aviation Club of IIT Patna. It is a newly formed club that focuses on drones, MAVs (Micro air Vehicles), and aviation robotics. NJACK is the Computer Science Club of IIT PATNA. Other technical clubs/societies at IIT Patna include: AI-NLP-ML Group, DSC and OWASP. Thus, because of its good placements and a plethora of clubs/societies, I would recommend you to choose CSE at IIT Patna over Mathematics and Computing at IIT Guwahati.

Which to select from NIT Warangal or IIT Mandi/ IIT Patna?

All the three institutions mentioned by you are well-reputed for their engineering courses. Here is a comparison among the three based on different criteria: Parameters IIT Mandi IIT Patna NIT Warangal Year of Establishment 2009 2008 1959 NIRF 2023 Engineering Ranking 33 41 21 Highest Package INR 60 LPA INR 82.05 LPA INR 88 LPA Average Package INR 25.23 LPA INR 23.90 LPA INR 15 LPA Top Recruiters Deloitte, Denso, Bharat Electronics Limited, SAP Labs, Indeed, etc. Google, Microsoft, Goldman Sachs, Vedanta, Reliance, Tata Steel and Adobe, etc. Amazon, Microsoft, L&T, etc. Clubs and Societies The Robotronics Club, Space Technology and Astronomy Cell, The Programming Club (Kamand Prompt), SAIC, Google Developer Student Clubs (GDSC) NJACK (Computer Science Club), Sparkonics (Electrical Engineering Club), SCME (Mechanical Engineering Society), Robotics Club, IITP Motorsports, ACE (Civil Engineering Society) Civil Engineering Association (CEA), Computer Science and Engineering Association (CSEA), Electronics and Communication Engineering Association, Electrical Engineering Association (EEA), Mathematics Association IIT Warangal is a much older institution, however, IIT Patna offers some very interesting clubs and societies in various areas. Other than NJAC, it offers technical societies like AI-NLP-ML Group, DSC and OWASP. This makes for a healthy coding environment. Other than that, its highest and average placement packages are also better than the other two institutions. IIT Patna carries the prestigious ‘IIT’ tag which is beneficial when applying for higher studies abroad. Moreover, IIT Mandi has a beautiful but remote location in the mountains. Whereas, Patna city offers better connectivity. Because of all these reasons, IIT Patna is a better choice than IIT Mandi and NIT Warangal.

How is the coding culture at IIT Mandi, IIT Patna, or IIT (ISM) Dhanbad?

IIT Warangal is a much older institution, however, IIT Patna offers some very interesting clubs and societies in various areas. Other than NJAC, it offers technical societies like AI-NLP-ML Group, DSC and OWASP. This makes for a healthy coding environment. Other than that, its highest and average placemThe coding culture at IIT Mandi, IIT Patna, and IIT (ISM) Dhanbad is generally strong, as is typical for IITs. However, each institution has its own unique characteristics: IIT Mandi: Active coding clubs and regularly organised hackathons are a part of IIT Mandi’s coding culture. Some of the technical societies of IIT mandi are- The Programming Club (Kamand Prompt) , S.A.I.C., and the Google Developer Student Clubs (GDSC). IIT Mandi emphasises practical application of coding skills of the students. The institute has a growing reputation in areas like AI and machine learning. IIT Patna: It organises regular coding competitions and events. IIT Patna emphasis on both theoretical and practical aspects of coding. The students of IIT Patna actively take part in national and international coding contests on platforms like Codechef, Hackerrank, etc. The institution regularly organises coding workshops and coding-related events. Celesta is the tech fest of IIT Patna. NJACK is the Computer Science Club of IIT Patna. Other technical clubs at IIT Patna include: AI-NLP-ML Group, DSC and OWASP. IIT (ISM) Dhanbad: IIT Dhanbad has a well-established coding community. It conducts regular coding workshops and seminars for its students. IIT Dhanbad is mainly known for its strong industry connections in the mining and petroleum sectors. As a result, it has a better learning environment and more opportunities in mining and related branches. For a strong coding culture, you can opt for either IIT Mandi or IIT Patna.

Which college has the better life- ISM (IIT) Dhanbad or IIT Patna?

When comparing ISM (IIT) Dhanbad and IIT Patna, there are compelling reasons to favour the latter in terms of a better campus life. These reasons are- IIT Patna boasts a newer and more modern campus with state-of-the-art facilities and infrastructure. Patna is a larger city, offering diverse cultural experiences and more entertainment options. Some of the clubs of IIT patna are- NJACK (Computer Science Club), SPARKONICS (Electrical Engineering Club) SCME (Mechanical Engineering Society) Robotics Club IITP Motorsports ACE (Civil Engineering Society) CHESSx (Chemical Engineering Society) MatES (Materials Engineering Society) IIT Patna offers a good balance between academics and extracurricular activities, promoting overall student development. ‘Anwesha’ is the Annual cultural fest of IIT Patna. ‘Celesta’ is the tech fest of IIT Patna. Here are some fun pics from ‘Anwesha’- Because of these reasons, IIT Patna has a more dynamic and engaging campus life as compared to IIT Dhanbad.

Is it better to study the CSE branch at 2nd generation IIT like Patna, Bhubaneswar, or prefer mechanical engineering at Roorkee, Guwahati, or Kharagpur?

According to me, opting for CSE at 2nd generation IITs like IIT Patna is a better option. IIT Patna was established as a full-fledged IIT in 2008. Although comparatively newer, it has already created a huge impact in terms of placements and research. The CSE department of IIT Patna is excellent. The course offers good placements and faculty. The course curriculum of CSE at IIT Patna follows leaders in this domain like Harvard, IISc and IIT Bombay. NJACK is the Computer Science Club of IIT Patna. It conducts workshops, events and competitions to boost the coding culture and knowledge of computer technology among the students.
