Ans: Priya Madam, IIT Dharwad’s ECE achieves 65% placement in 2024, with strong recruiter engagement and focused electronics training, while NIT Rourkela Mechanical posts over 90% placement consistency and broad core-engineering roles from 330+ companies across three years. Given higher mechanical placement density at Rourkela balanced against the IIT brand and ECE specialization at Dharwad, FREEZE at IIT Dharwad ECE for assured domain focus and institutional prestige. All the BEST for the Admission & a Prosperous Future!

Ans: Hello Priya
First, determine your son's interests, specifically whether he prefers ECE or Mechanical. Staying in a dilemma is not beneficial. However, ECE at IIT Dharwad may be a better choice than Mechanical at NIT Rourkela. The final decision will be yours.
Best of luck to you.

Ans: Your son’s seat in Energy Engineering at IIT Delhi offers a unique interdisciplinary curriculum focused on sustainable and renewable energy, with strong research and industry links, and placement rates for BTech programs at IIT Delhi consistently above 87%, with a median salary of ?20 LPA in 2023. Electrical Engineering at IIT Indore is a core branch with robust placement outcomes (76% for EE in 2024), a strong recruiter base including Amazon and Microsoft, and an average package of ?25.45 LPA for BTech. Chemical Engineering at IIT Delhi is also a well-established branch with a 90% placement rate, median salaries matching other core branches, and diverse career opportunities in industry and research. The new Energy Engineering program at IIT Delhi is designed for the fast-growing energy sector and offers cutting-edge research opportunities, but as a newer program, its long-term placement trends are still evolving. Electrical at IIT Indore and Chemical at IIT Delhi provide more traditional, widely recognized engineering pathways with established placement records and flexibility for both industry and higher studies.

Recommendation: If your son is passionate about the energy sector and values the IIT Delhi brand and location, he should freeze his seat in Energy Engineering. If he prefers a more conventional and flexible core branch with proven placement outcomes, sliding to Electrical at IIT Indore or Chemical at IIT Delhi is advisable, with Chemical at IIT Delhi being the stronger of the two for long-term prospects. All the BEST for the Admission & a Prosperous Future!
