CSE at VIT Bhopal or SRM KTR: Which is the better choice?

Ans: Sahil, Given your interest in coding and tech roles, prioritize Electrical Engineering at IIT Ropar (75.76% placements, 2024 data) or IIT Jodhpur (61.66% EE placements), as these institutes offer flexibility for upskilling in coding through electives and internships, with recruiters like Amazon and Microsoft hiring across branches. Production & Industrial Engineering at IIT Delhi (91.18% placements) is another strong option, given its high placement rate and proximity to tech roles via interdisciplinary projects. Avoid Civil Engineering (IIT Madras: 77%, IIT Kanpur: 69.2%) and Chemical/Mechanical branches, as core-sector placements dominate, requiring proactive upskilling for IT roles. Material Science at IIT Bombay (70.37% placements) and Biotechnology at IIT Delhi (lower tech roles) are less aligned with coding goals. If institutional prestige is critical, IIT Madras/Roorkee provide robust coding ecosystems despite lower Civil placements. Explore IIT Mandi’s Electrical Engineering (61.66% placements) for its AI/ML focus or IIT Delhi’s Mathematics & Computing (if eligible via branch change). Prioritize institutes with coding clubs, hackathons, and CS minors to bridge branch gaps. Confirm internship support and alumni networks in tech sectors during enrollment. All the BEST for your Admission & a Prosperous Future!
