Between IIT Dharwad (Electrical), IIT Bhilai (Mechanical), and IIT Dhanbad (Petroleum), which should I choose?

Question

Ishani Gupta · Accepted Answer

So, you're wondering which IIT to pick, right? IIT Dhanbad is pretty famous for its Petroleum program worldwide. You might land a job with some top-notch companies, and the pay can be good, sometimes even hitting around 20 LPA.

Here's a quick look at the institutes:

Particulars	IIT Dharwad Electrical	IIT Bhilai Mechanical	IIT Dhanbad Petroleum
Placement Rate	60%	65%	80%
Highest CTC	14 LPA	8 LPA	32 LPA
Average CTC	6 LPA	3.5 LPA	8 LPA

Now, things have changed a bit since IIT Dhanbad became an IIT. The really high-paying jobs in Petroleum Engineering aren't as common as they used to be. If you're super confident in your abilities, go for it. But if placements are a big deal for you, maybe think twice. Electrical and Mechanical branches usually have more placement opportunities because they're core engineering fields. Petroleum is more specialized, so there are fewer jobs available.

Also, IIT Dhanbad has a better infrastructure. IIT Dharwad and IIT Bhilai are newer, so they're still developing their campuses. IIT Dhanbad has been around longer and has all the cool stuff like labs, academic buildings, and a digital library.

Both options have their pluses and minuses, so think about what's important to you and make your choice!

Its a Question about your future!
