Dear Sir/Madam,

The features of IIT Bombay in Metallurgy/Material science:

1. Brand value:Top IIT.
2. Alumini Network: Strongest in India.

2. Alumini Network: Less Exposure Compared to Mumbai.
3. Placement: Average 10 to 14 LPA and related to Tech.

Both colleges are good and the choice is yours.choose wisely based on your goals and interest.

If you want the IIT Bombay tag and switching career like software/MBA/Analytics can go for Metallurgy at IIT Bombay.

If you have more interest in Tech side and want flexibility in Tech core can go for ECE at IIT Dhanbad.

If you passed 12th in PCB (Physics, Chemistry, Biology) in 2023, you need to study PCM (Physics, Chemistry, Math) to be eligible for BTech in IIT Bombay through JEE Advanced. You can join 12th again with PCM subjects in 2024 and appear for JEE Main and Advanced after passing. This way, you become eligible because math is compulsory for engineering. So yes, you can do 12th again with PCM and then try for IIT through JEE. Keep working hard!
