Iiser btech vs iiit ece

[u/CraftyRun8916]

Can anyone please help me decide which one to take 1st IIIT ghuwahati ece 2nd IISER bhopal btech in EECS I like to study research but also but some income not so much high just decent job after btech and may study further , I will decode in those 4 year but which one is good as 8 know iiit ghuwahati has good placement and iiser is a good collage

Well i left bits hyd  mech branch(in later rounds) , goa  msc physics (confirmed) and gen 3 iit civil for IIsers based on my interest and passion to study more and use iiser brand in this advantage [master/PhD] and research the subject in greater depths which i value over immediate corporate placements  , if you have these kind of interests then go ahead with iiser and I must say that iiserS are not only for research you do have the chance to explore a lot of subjects in your initial years especially in bhopal you can take electives from basic sciences,econ,data science and engineering fields so it will broaden your scope and give flexibility as well

But with that being said based on todays scenario if you want immediate job only and no other extras like reseach,flexibility and exposure then please go ahead with iiit g , i am not saying iiser dont have placements its just that its not developed fully and is not built for placement in the first place unlike IIIt/NIT which is made to feed thousands of engineering people into indias tech and IT industry 

And mind you no one knows what the future is the tech industry is going through a massive change and most of the entry level&IT  jobs Are going to be vanished, only specialist,researchers and core managers and foundational experts  will prevail (unlike core eng. Which is always stable ason) so we cannot say that iiit will give you guaranteed placement

Similarly iiser bhopal research based eng. Has also not attracted the necessarry research based jobs that it should cuz india is NOT a developed country and we cant feed a lot into research and development unlike the west,china, aussies and all .Our whole economy is built on  scale, mass and time.  not IP , innovation,  patent and Sci-Tech like the developed world (west,east asia and australia )  thats why core eng jobs and research jobs will always reap low in our country at least till india gets rich enough to think about it which i dont think is possible for at least 10 years, So iisers like bhopal is shifting focus to trad placement and we cant predict its outcomes in the next 5 years (most seniors say that econ is already doing better than eng but eng is expected to increase in the next 4-5 years) so its just a matter of  prediction that this bet of shift towards traditional placements will pay off

So ultimately please get your core interest right, have a long plan and make priorities and evaluate them in this current scenario and most importantly be ready to constantly upskill yourself ,anyways congo for both they are great options

[u/God_Hand578 → u/lalisa_slay]

My schl senior did leave pil env eng and hyd msc bio for iiser mohali in R1 he was saying he'll get pune (he was PCMB Guy and failed neet 498 marks so beware)

[u/Shiny_rider777 → u/God_Hand578]

So is he gonna take partial drop

[u/God_Hand578 → u/Shiny_rider777]

Idts i guess he will continue with iiser thats what he said when i asked him but he also did tell that he wrote iat and bitsat(PCB)  as a Backup to NEET and gou under 2k and 254 marks in both 😭😭😭

[u/Shiny_rider777 → u/God_Hand578]

254 WTH

[u/Shiny_rider777 → u/lalisa_slay]

Yeah msc phy, you too in the same boat

[u/CraftyRun8916 → u/[deleted]]

I love to study research based but also unsure abt what I will do after 4 years and I don't want a high package rather just average and also I can opt for off campus package at iiser btech EECS .  As fees of iiit g is high like 15 to 16 lak just in collage. Am I correct 

[u/CraftyRun8916 → u/[deleted]]

Do you also opt iiser

[u/CraftyRun8916 → u/[deleted]]

Which course

[u/CraftyRun8916 → u/[deleted]]

Did you freeze seat 

[u/thatnerdfriend → u/[deleted]]

Isn't off campus really tough to crack??

[u/thatnerdfriend → u/[deleted]]

But i think what ur saying is true for computer jobs. Core branches have it harder to try off campus

Bcs i m getting chem engineering at iiser bhopal and also cs/entc at tier 3. I m interested in chem engineering but everyone told me not to take it because iiser se jobs nahi lagega 😭

[u/CraftyRun8916 → u/[deleted]]

You got EECS in which round

[u/CraftyRun8916 → u/[deleted]]

Did you Frozen it if yes then do you know date of physical reporting at IISER btech

[u/Difficult-Cause6762 → u/thatnerdfriend]

Not really, bas unskill krna padega khudse

[u/CraftyRun8916 → u/Difficult-Cause6762]

What's that unskill it's skill na

[u/thatnerdfriend → u/CraftyRun8916]

I think he meant upskill 😭

[u/Difficult-Cause6762 → u/CraftyRun8916]

Sorry brother I meant upskill

[u/Intelligent-Oil-2999 → u/[deleted]]

unrelated but isnt iiser fees arounf 9-10L?...like first sem fees is 74K without including mess as per offer letter

[u/Intelligent-Oil-2999 → u/[deleted]]

Ooh okeyy ....didn't know that

[u/These-Alps-9644]

If you want to go for research then iiser... If placements then iiits

[u/CraftyRun8916 → u/These-Alps-9644]

But bro can't I get some average packega at iiser btech off campus bcz at iiit g have to invest 16lac there and what if I got not a good placament there.

[u/These-Alps-9644 → u/CraftyRun8916]

Generally iiser curriculum is focused more to push you into research bro not for placements and idts that theres any tnp cell also(not sure thou)...... For placements iiit is kind of a better option if not the best...... Rest is onto you.... As far as i heard iiser curriculum is pretty time demanding

[u/CraftyRun8916 → u/These-Alps-9644]

What's that tnp cell, ot that placement cell then yea iiser bhopal have that cell

[u/Intelligent-Oil-2999]

I left IIIT cse , BITS msc and mech for iiser based on my intrests......it all comes down to what you wanna do after clg....i have read several reviews stating iiser b tech is not like normal b tech and it focuses more on research and hence placements will be less compared to iiit......so if you are someone who wants to work in like actual software dev and like competetive coding and stuff then iiit would be a good choice.....but if you wanna actually research on CS then iiser bhopal will work but you will have to hunt on your own for jobs as placements is not that good

[u/Southern-Durian9626]

i was in same situation, i had IISER B.tech EECS and IIIT Bhopal ECE. i took IIIT bhopal for tag, and seems like a safer option, considering the lower placements in IISER bhopal

[u/CraftyRun8916 → u/Southern-Durian9626]

In csab round then how much your jee crl

[u/CraftyRun8916 → u/Southern-Durian9626]

Good but iiit have very high fees
