Hello sir
My daughter is getting petroleum branch in IIT Dhanbad and has got CSE AIML in Vit Bhopal in category 1 what should she take, we are from MP state please reply
Ans: Seema Madam, Choosing between Petroleum Engineering at IIT Dhanbad and CSE (AI/ML) at VIT Bhopal depends on career alignment and institutional advantages. IIT Dhanbad’s Petroleum Engineering offers 85.9% placements (2024) with roles in core sectors (ONGC, Chevron) and robust research infrastructure, including advanced labs for reservoir simulation and drilling. However, the petroleum industry remains MALE-dominated, though initiatives like WISE and global trends are improving gender inclusivity. VIT Bhopal’s CSE (AI/ML) provides 90–95% placements (2024) in tech roles (Microsoft, TCS) with a modern AI-focused curriculum, internships, and proximity to Madhya Pradesh. While IITs offer global recognition and interdisciplinary research, VIT’s tech specialization ensures broader industry relevance. Prioritize IIT Dhanbad for core engineering prestige or VIT Bhopal for assured tech opportunities, balancing institutional legacy and career flexibility. Have some more options as back-ups (other IITs/Branches/Private Engineering Colleges). More value addition informatin: Securing Petroleum Engineering at IIT Dhanbad (2024 cutoff: ~12,300–12,320 for General) is a viable option, but exploring Chemical/Civil Engineering at newer IITs like IIT Jammu (Chemical cutoff: ~15,048) or IIT Bhilai (Civil cutoff: ~13,961) may offer broader career flexibility. IIT Indore Mechanical (cutoff: ~6,812, 88.33% placements) or IIT Gandhinagar Electrical (cutoff: ~8,951, 78% placements) provide stronger placement consistency in core sectors. For niche roles, IIT Kharagpur’s Mining Engineering (cutoff: ~14,752) or IIT BHU’s Metallurgical Engineering (cutoff: ~12,740) align with energy/minerals sectors. Prioritize IIT Dhanbad Petroleum for specialized oil/gas careers or opt for Mechanical/Chemical at mid-tier IITs for versatile engineering pathways, balancing institutional reputation and industry demand. All the BEST for your Daughter's Admission & a Prosperous Future!
