Hello, sir my son got metallurgy Eng and material science in iit bombay. We float for other options like iit gandhinagar electrical. What to do we should freeze iit bombay or wait. His rank in advanced is 912 ews

Ans: Harsh Sir, IIT Bombay’s B.Tech in Metallurgical Engineering and Materials Science, ranked #3 by NIRF 2024, placed 70.37% of its 2023-24 B.Tech cohort, reflecting steady core-engineering demand and access to high-end material-science research collaborations. IIT Gandhinagar’s B.Tech in Electrical Engineering, ranked #18 by NIRF 2024, achieved a 76.22% placement rate in 2023, with participation from 134 students and recruiting by 125 top firms across power, electronics, and software sectors. Bombay’s department benefits from a deeper legacy, broader recruiter base, and higher research output, whereas Gandhinagar offers strong EE-specialist training in an emerging campus environment.

Recommendation: Freeze the IIT Bombay MME seat for its premier brand, robust legacy, and consistent placements; pursue IIT Gandhinagar EE only if your son’s passion lies specifically in electrical engineering and you are willing to forego the established reputation of IIT Bombay.

All the BEST for the Admission & a Prosperous Future!
