Metallurgical Engineering

Hi there,
Materials engineers develop, process, and test materials used to create a range of products, from computer chips and aircraft wings to golf clubs and biomedical devices. They study the properties and structures of metals, ceramics, plastics, composites, nanomaterials (extremely small substances), and other substances to create new materials that meet certain mechanical, electrical, and chemical requirements.
The Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur is among top 5 colleges of India, and each and every branches of there is very good with excellent placements records.
Here is some insights of the college:
Intake:- 44 (metallurgical and materials)
Average package:- 6.75 lakhs (aggregate of all branches)
Highest package:- 20-24 lakhs (metallurgical)
Recruiters:- Abbot, Axis Bank, Pwc, Nestle, Cisco, Flipkart, Facebook, Mu Sigma, Qualcomm, Nvidia, IBM, Texas Instruments, Accenture, Deloitte, Google, L&T, JP Morgan, Microsoft, Morgan Stanley, TVS, Vodafone, Arm, Nestle, Virtusa, Abott, Acs, Philips, Bosch, HCL, and many more.

Hope this helps.

Indian Institute of Technology, Bombay is one of the best colleges in India.
It is well known for its infrastructure, faculty and facilities provided by Indian Institute of Technology is top notch.
It offers many course to the students in which metallurgical engineering is the course that deals with Metallurgical development in the extraction or using metallurgical elements in use.
There are many companies that come for the placement for metallurgical engineering are as follows:
3M | AC Neilson | ACCENTURE | Adobe | Amazon | Barclays Bank | Blue Star | Essar Cellular | GE Capital Services | General Motors | HSBC | Infosys | McKinsey | Microsoft | Morgan Stanley | Motorola | Musigma | ONGC | Oracle | Qualcomm | Sandisk | Xilinx
Now let's talk about placement:
Placements at IIT are definitely the best among engineering colleges. 421 B.Tech students and 185 dual degree students were placed last year. The highest package offered was 2.5 million, and the average package was 1.2 million. A lot of intern offers are there for the 2nd and 3rd-year students. If a student is interested in any field, he/she can get an internship easily. Mostly, INR 10000 per month stipend is offered, but one can apply to different places on their own. There is a good chance of getting an internship if you are from IIT Bombay. Analytics, consulting, engineering, IT/software, finance, research and development, FMCG, education, etc. are the sectors in which students are placed.

As per your query, the branches, as per potential of the candidate, are as follows:
Computer science
Mechanical
Electronics communication
Electrical
Metallurgical
IT
Instruments and control
Biotechnology
Marine engineering
Aircraft Maintenance
Aeronautical
Avionics
There are several branches an individual can choose and make their career in the engineering field:
Recently, a report in Times of India claimed that mechanical engineering is the most preferred engineering branch in India rather than Computer science and I can explain you the reason behind that too.
India is striving hard to become a manufacturing economy from current service sector economy with the government initiative of Make in India. It is moving towards manufacturing based rater than the service based economy and that is the reason behind mechanical being the preferred branch.
You can also go for Computer science as it has got no ending career prospects in the top IT firms with good careers prospects ahead.
I will suggest you to either choose mechanical or Computer science and engineering.
All the best.

Hi there looks like comparison of NIT and IIT and that too of different branch is not good as Computer science is different and metallurgical is totally different
Both have diferentes career prospect and that too in different fields
First Computer science from IIT lead you to most prominent brands in the IT sectors like Infosys, Accenture,TCS , McKinsey and other brands with package ranging from 20 lakh to 50 lakh for tha complete CTC
Now coming to metallurgical from NIT will also lead you to various company which are dealing into Miing and other geophysics business to asses the prospect busies in the desired area like Adani reliance etc Jindal a perspective re also dealing inte field so bother have differebt perspective for the careers so it is not reasonable to compare both as they both are equally demanding in their respective fields fron the prominent recruitment agency in the country .
But I can say that IIT is bit more reputed than NIT it matters but both are premier in their nature still IIT are more tough to get in
