I recommend this branch if you want to enter the petroleum industry.
Placements: More than 60% of students got placed every year in core companies, and a few in other fields. The highest package go around 35 LPA in non core and 25 LPA for core companies. Some of the best companies are British Petroleum, ONGC, Chevron, and SLB. More than 30% of students got internships in companies like, British Petroleum, SLB, Cairn. Roles offered are reservoir engineer, consultant, drilling engineer, production engineer, etc.
Infrastructure: Wi-Fi is available in almost every part of the college. Labs are up to the latest technology, classrooms are very comfortable and air-conditioned. Library is one of the best among all colleges in India. It is the second-largest technical library in Asian. Hostel facilities are at the top. The new hostel for boys called the aquamarine hostel has all the modern facilities like vending machines, canteen, huge rooms and all modern facilities that a student desire. There are common rooms that can be accessed by students anytime.
Faculty: Teachers are good. They teach all the concepts. Still, many students prefer to study on their own from the internet. But still, course curriculum is very much relevant to the current industry. The skills that are required in the industry are well taught here. Semester exams are moderate to difficult level.
Other: I chose this course because the petroleum industry is very big in itself. And the placements of this branch in this college is one of the best. Fests are very grand, featuring many stars every year. Everyone enjoy alot and they eagerly wait for the fest every year.

If you are going for better, you should look out for economics at IIT-khadagpur. But it is all based on your interests. These are all not mainstream branches as per now, but all are equivalently good as you will be graduating from IITs. So for me economic IIT-khadagpur > petroleum IIT dhanbad > Math

See everytime basis of marks shifts a lot, so exactly how mch marks you should score that totally depends on the advance you are appearing. But score around 50% should be enough.
