Considering the Placement Aspect, with a Rank of 11800, assuming youre from General Category, ypur best option would be BTech Metallurgical at IIT Bhubaneshwar or Dual Degree Metallugical/Material Science at IIT BHU if you get at your Rank. Youll probably have better oppotunities at IIT BHU or Bhubaneshwar or even if its Mining or Environmental at IIT ISM. You even have a strong chances of changing your Branch to a better stream post First Year. Incase youre targetting PSU Jobs or Government Engineering Jobs, only in that case IIT Jammu Mechanical might be a good Option, though youll loose out on Campus Opportunities as well as a strong and diverse experience.

Hi Aspirant,

Hope you are doing great as per the question asked by you, you should work hard and should focus on achieving high and high in entrance exam it totally depends upon the examination if paper is simple then cutoff goes high gradually and if paper or examination is hard then cutoff goes down. You should certainly work hard and should try to achieve high and high in examination.

Hope you found this answer useful.Stay motivated stay positive.

All the best!

Hi Vivek,

The Metallurgy department in IIT Patna is quite a new branch. Moreover it is difficult to judge the placement scenario for so new a branch based on past details. Perhaps at the same rank, you might be making into Metallurgical Engineering at IIT BBSR, or Mining Machinery or Environmental at IIT ISM Dhanbad or Ceramic Engineering at IIT BHU. These have better placement prospects, you can try for these.

In case, you're not making any, you might consider IIT Patna for Metallurgy.

Hope this helps.

Dear Aspirant,

See IIT Patna has higher ranking.

You might either select for RF & Microwave at IIT KGP and opt for sliding, incase you think you have better options like VLSI at some of the Top 8 IITs. Honestly speaking, RF & Microwave students have lower prospects when it comes to placements. You do have options still, but most of the Electronics Companies open for VLSI & Embedded Systems Stream. You still have options with Software, Analytics, Data Science, Edtech Firms and Startups, but youll have a very effective and interesting college life at KGP with its diverse culture and excellent faculty and research facilities. Incase youre planning Government Jobs, PSUs or joining Public Research Organizations like DRDO, ISRO, BARC, CSIR where effectively RF & Microwave Technology comes in real use, IIT KGP is the best place. Even if youre planning a PhD in future, this is the place for you.

Hello Aspirant,

First of all let me make you clear that in IITs there is no reservation for Home state quota instead there is only All India quota and admission will be done only on the basis of your category or CRL rank.

As we go through the latest cut-off of 2020 then it shows that the closing rank for OBC category was 1108 for CSE branch in IIT Patna. See it is quite difficult to tell you about exact marks to score because for JEE-Advance no maximum marks are fixed but yes with regards to JEE-Advance 2021 if you secure your AIR in JEE-Advance under top 1100 in OBC category then there are good chances for you to get CSE branch in IIT Patna.

You can check out the latest cut-offs from the link given below :-

Note that the above prediction is made on the basis of latest cut-offs available on official website of JOSAA and the cut-offs are bound to change every year depending upon various factors such as the number of candidates appearing in an examination, the number of candidates qualifying an examination, difficulty level of the paper, and so on.

From view of career scope and prospects I would suggest you to prefer Electrical Engineering at Delhi Technological University over IIT BHU Pharmaceutical and IIT Patna Metallurgy. DTU has excellent infrastructure, faculty and research facilities and is one of the Best when it comes to Electrical Engineering in North India, next to IIT Delhi and IIT Roorkee. The institute has a very strong employer outlook and most of the Top Companies like Tata Motors, Texas Instruments, Adobe, Microsoft, Google, Intel are regular recruiters from Department of Electrical Engineering.

However, this is my perception, incase you are seriously interested in pursuing Engineering from One of the IITs  I would suggest you to prefer IIT BHU over IIT Patna, as you will have a better exposure and more opportunities. Secondly, Metallurgy is a good branch if taken in one of the Older IITs, whereas the MT Department at IIT Patna is just a couple of years old and lacks in experience, projects and expertise in faculty and research. At IIT BHU, you  will have a number of Non Core Opportunities in IT, Software, Finance and Analytics domains besides getting a fair chances to securw a Branch Change in first year, perhaps the grading system at IIT BHU is one of the Most relaxed among most IITs.

hey!

IITs are considered the best institues in India for engineering courses. ECE in IIT bhubneshwar is worth trying as the placement opportunities are very good , around 80% with maximum package of 32 LPA.

IIT Patna also provides good facilities to students , good placement opportunities are there, average package goe upto 5-6 LPA in companies like Amazon, Microsoft etc.

But if you wish to job in both Electrical industry and software field then you must join ECE and if you have interest only in software then join CSE.

Thankyou

Metallurgical Engineering in general is a very good choice , but as far as IIT Patna is concerned it is a very new Insititute and secondly its Metallurgical Department is only a year old and lacks in experienced faculty, curriculum and research facilities as well as employer outlook.

As far as NIT Kurukshetra is concerned it is one of the best old technical institutes in North India for Mechanical Engineering next to IIT Delhi , IIT Roorkee and PEC Chandigarh. The institute has good infrastructure, faculty and research facilities. Located near Industrial hubs at Delhi, Gurgaon, Chandigarh and Noida further provides impetus to training and placement oppprtunities. Most of the Top Companies like Tata Motors, Honda, GE, Trident, Mahindra, Maruti Suzuki, JSW, Vedanta recruit from the campus. Besides this, it provides in depth education at almost half the fee charged by BITS Hyderabad, so also provides good Return on Investment.
