Ans: Choosing between Ocean Engineering & Naval Architecture (OENA) at IIT Kharagpur and CSE at MNNIT Allahabad hinges on career goals, academic interests, and industry alignment. IIT Kharagpur’s OENA offers 97% placement rates (2024) with specialized recruitment from marine and offshore sectors (Mazagon Dock, Cochin Shipyard) and opportunities in defense R&D, supported by a robust curriculum in hydrodynamics, marine structures, and naval design. However, core OENA roles are niche, with ~30% of graduates opting for IT placements via skill diversification. MNNIT Allahabad’s CSE provides broader IT sector access, with 87.44% placement rates (2024) and recruitment by Microsoft, Amazon, and Adobe, ensuring diverse roles in AI, cybersecurity, and software development. While IIT Kharagpur’s brand equity and IIT ecosystem enhance global opportunities for higher studies, MNNIT’s CSE offers predictable career trajectories in high-demand tech domains. For students passionate about maritime innovation and willing to navigate a specialized field, OENA at IIT KGP is ideal. Conversely, MNNIT CSE suits those prioritizing IT versatility and immediate employability. As backups, consider NIT Trichy/ Warangal for CSE or IIT Madras/Bombay for Ocean Engineering if your ranks fit into it. All the BEST for your Admission & a Prosperous Future!
