IIT Branches: Which IIT and Branch To Choose?

JEE aspirants who go through the counselling process after cracking JEE Advanced decide very meticulously as to which IIT and branch to choose. A student will be confronted with a list to select the Indian Institute of Technology and branch they wish to study in and embark upon his/her journey of a whole new world. Your preferred IIT branches are a result of culmination of factors such as proximity, rank of particular IIT, your rank, area of interest, alumnae record, fee structure, placement record etc. We help you decide how to choose a particular IIT and a branch from all the available options of IIT Branches.

IIT Branches:

Here is a list of top IITs with the top IIT branches and other details that you need to know:

The core branches in the IITs that are highly famous amongst students are Computer Science and Electrical. The other branches that follow are Mechanical, Aerospace Engineering, Engineering Design, Civil Engineering, Chemical Engineering, Metallurgy, Biotechnology and Naval Architecture. In terms of placement packages and percentages, CS leads the way followed by Electrical, Mechanical, Engineering Design, Chemical, Naval Architecture and Aerospace Engineering. Another confusion that exists in most of the students is regarding the dual degree branches wherein both B.tech and M.tech can be completed in only 5 years in most IITs. Dual degree is a great choice for students with research or PhD inclinations. For students looking forward to MBA or further studies abroad, prefer the B.tech degree. On the basis of infrastructure, placements, student preference and research terms, here is a list of IITs preferred for each branch according to the rank obtained in the Joint Entrance Exam.

For old IITs, the closing rank has been 4500 for core branches. From then on, the students have to make a choice between core branches in the new IITs and the other branches in the old IITs. The new IITs are IIT Patna, IIT Indore, IIT Mandi, IIT Hyderabad, IIT Bhubhneshwar, IIT Ropar, IIT Gandhinagar and IIT Jodhpur. The increasing number of IITs have led to a dilemma of choosing between an old IIT or a good branch. Arriving at a general conclusion is difficult as each student has his/her preferences. However, before filling your counselling form, make a solid research and be firm with your ground work to a make your preferences.
