As a female is it better for me to choose mining branch in IIT Kharagpur or CSE in nit Durgapur...??(I don't have any personal interest regarding a particular branch)
See there are no boundaries for females, regarding Mining. So if you want to go for the mining then there is no problem being a female candidate. Now CSE in NIT DURGAPUR is quite good but the exposure to the field you will get in IIT KGP will be far more fetched. The teachers as well as the environment you will get will be far better than what you will experience at NIT Durgapur. Although the CSE is one of the most employable fields so you can go for it. But personally the environment IIT's provide the students, actually gives them the rigor to get a personality and stress management.
Now I would recommend you to choose which one you feel like but if you go for IIT's then also you can participate in different placements for CSE as well . So apart from the subject there is not a huge difference in terms of career establishment.
