IIT Goa offers BTech courses in four branches viz., CSE, EE, ME and MnC. Deciding the best branch among all the branches depends on various factors that are important to candidate. Some of the important point to consider while deciding the best branch of IIT Goa are mentioned-below:
1. Placements Opportunities: The common perception among students is that CSE has good placements among all the branches of Engineering. Before making the decision, it is important to look at the branch-wise placements of that particular college. Same applies to IIT Goa! In 2024, a total of 161 recruiters participated in the placement process and placed 116 students of BTech and MTech in new-age job profiles. The branch-wise placement details of IIT Goa placements for the Class of 2024 are presented below:
Branch | Median Package (2024) | Average Package (2024) |
|---|
CSE | INR 13.50 LPA | INR 16.15 LPA |

3. Future Perspective: The third important factor of deciding the best branch of IIT Goa is to think about the long-term goals. If someone is interested in CS and have a passion for it, then choosing CS is a good option. CSE has a good future, but it’s stressful for those who don’t have interest in it. If a candidate has strong command on Mathematics, then combine Mathematics with Computers Science. Mathematics and Computing Engineering (MnC) branch at IIT Gaa trained students in Algorithm Development, Data Analytics and Scientific Computing. They have lots of opportunoties in the current market as well as in the future.
