Hello sir. My brother is getting ocean engineering at IIT Madras, Civil at IIT Indore and CS at RVCE. Which would be the right choice.

Ans: Please note, here the 2 questions are (1) Your brother prefers IIT over Stream or Stream over IIT (2) He wants IIT's Stamp on his Certificate irrespective of whether he is interested or not for the stream offered by IIT and / or whether the stream has any scope or not? Please ask your brother this question & decide accordingly, if he is confident over the Stream he chooses. Also you please AVOID forcing him to join which you prefer. (3) Ask his order of preference as far as streams (Civil, CS or Ocean Engineering) are concerned. I suggest to consider one among 2-choices (out of 3) i.e. IIT-M (Ocean) or RVCE (CS). All the BEST for your Brother's Bright Future.

Thank you for your answer sir. My brother is specific about choosing IIT and pursue minor course related to IT and try for IT placements. Does placement cell at IIT allows non-IT branches for Tier-1 IT companies?

Ans: Please note, Recruiters / Companies have the discretion over, which all stream students can register for their Campus Recruitment Drive? Some IT Companies even welcome other stream students (ECE etc.) including CS. This is applicable in RV also. Even a student of EEE got placed with an IT company. Simple reason is, some students have extra CERTIFICATIONS (from NPTEL, Internshala, Coursera, LinkedIn etc. or online platforms recommended by their College Faculties) other than their domain to be competent among other students. Hope I have clarified your doubt. Thanks for coming back.

Question by Roopesh - Jun 04, 2025

Career

Post JEE Adv,/Mains, my son has the following options 1. Join Naval Architect and Ocean Engineering in IIT M 2. Electrical in IIT Bhubaneswar or NIT Trichy 3. EC in NIT Suratkal 4. Chemical in IIT Varanasi ( BHU) 5. Metallurgy and material science in Gharakpur. He is more interested in EC. But ok with Electrical too. Is it a better option to join IIT Bhubaneswar without considering the IIT tag compared to NIT Trichy? What is the scope for Naval Architect and Ocean Engineering? Bit confused with college vs Course?

Ans: Roopesh Sir, with roles in maritime engineering, offshore energy, and naval design, supported by IIT Madras’s NIRF #1 engineering rank and strong industry ties (e.g., Schlumberger, Reliance Offshore). However, it is a niche field with limited non-core opportunities. Electronics & Communication (EC) at NIT Surathkal aligns better with your son’s interests, offering 72.66% placements (2024) and broader tech-sector opportunities (e.g., semiconductor design, IoT), though NIT Surathkal’s NIRF #11 engineering rank trails IIT Madras. Electrical Engineering at NIT Trichy (92.9% placements, 2024) outperforms IIT Bhubaneswar (82.2% placements) in both placement consistency and infrastructure, despite IIT Bhubaneswar’s NIRF #54 rank. Chemical Engineering at IIT BHU (74.71% placements) and Metallurgy at IIT Kharagpur (57.14% placements) lag in alignment with his interests and placement rates.

Recommendation: Prioritize EC at NIT Surathkal for interest-driven career prospects and robust placements. If institutional prestige is paramount, NAOE at IIT Madras provides a niche yet secure pathway. Avoid compromising on core interest for the IIT tag unless willing to specialize in maritime sectors. For Electrical, NIT Trichy is preferable over IIT Bhubaneswar due to stronger placements and academic rigor. All the BEST for your Son's Admission & a Prosperous Future!

Hello Sir, My son got 98 percentile in MHT CET, according to previous year cutoff he can get Civil or Production Engineering in VJTI Mumbai, should he take any of the above branch. Is this good for his future. Please suggest.

Ans: Hello dear.
With the mentioned percentile, he may gain admission to CSE or computer-related branches with a compromise on the engineering college. Civil engineering is a more preferable branch over Production from a future point of view. Wait until the SML is declared. The scenario will be clearer after the SML.
Best of luck.
