Hi,

Materials Science and Engineering (MSE) combines engineering, physics and chemistry principles to solve the real-world problems associated with nanotechnology, biotechnology, information technology, energy, manufacturing and other major engineering disciplines.

Metallurgical engineers usually focus on the production of metals, metallic parts and the properties of those materials. They help make products stronger, more durable, lighter weight and more energy efficient, especially when utilizing recycled materials rather than ores.

While looking at the scopes for these branches, a metallurgical engineer can work in electrical and mechanical machinery factories. Some government agencies also are major recruiters.

For material science engineers, the major jobs are

• Materials Scientist
• Metallurgist Process Engineer
• Development Engineer
• Manufacturing Engineer
• Process Engineer
• Project Engineer
• Materials Engineer

First of all understand the difference between these two branches and identify the job which suits your interest the most. If you are more into physical work and experimental field, choose metallurgy. If you are more of a developer and theorist, choose material science. None of these is a better course than the other. The choice depends completely upon your skill and interest.

Hello Aspirant,

Buddy, You shouldn’t look down upon any branch unless you have the proper knowledge about it and its future prospects. Metallurgical and materials engineering is a great branch . Moreover, you have a chance to be a part of one of the top NITs. There are plethora of great opportunities for metallurgists in various facets like academia, Industry and even higher studies.

Placements  :  Metallurgical  and Materials  engineering  department of NITR provides really  good placement  with an average package of 6-6.5 LPA. Recent  placement  seasons have seen a drift of students from the core companies towards the non-core sector. Major recruiters are Reliance, Tata, Jindal Steel, Vedanta.

Feel free to ask any questions.

All the best for your future.

hello jagan

as you are comparing colleges ,so don't just rely on a single view and research carefully before taking admissions .for this question ,i think i will chose doing btech from top NITs rather then a dual degree . i believe dual degree will help you more if you want to go into research field . after doing btech you have a lot new options than dual degree. also the placements is comparable between the two .even i think the placement is better in btech .so these are all my personal views and you should search more by yourselves

best wishes

As you are saying that your ST category Rank is 3067 there are less chances of getting it Because you are Belonging from Other State Quota.
But one of my friend getting Metallurgical Branch in MANIT Bhopal in 2018 having more than 3200+ rank but he is getting this branch becuase he is belonging from the home state quota.
Instead Of MANIT OR MNIT you can get easily metallurgical/Biomedical engineering at NIT RAIPUR.

But fill out the option correctly so that you can get better college
This is Year 2020 Everything is happen is unpredictable. so it hopes you can get MANIT.

Hello dear student

Actually both are partially similar in placement and campus life but the big difference in NIRF ranking .

IITEST Shibpur -

Engineering ranking -

All India ranking - 21 in 2020

Publisher - NIRF

NIT Silchar -

Engineering Ranking -

All India Ranking - 46 in 2020

Publisher - NIRF

Hi

Metallurgical and materials engineering at IIEST Shibpur is one of the oldest department

IIEST Shibpur has better than average placement especially in dept of metallurgy and mining.

Packages of 8lpa are common and Coal India, Vedanta, Tata steel visit for offering campus placements.

The average package across all branches stand at 6 lpa, higher than most NITs and comparable to Top 3 NITs.

Also it depends upon the demand in industries, market of that year and many other factors.

Hope it helps!
