All about IITR Electrical Engineering.

Placements: Most of the students got placed from my course. Around 80-90 percent of the students got placed. The highest package is around 1.5-3.67 crores per annum and the lowest package varies around 4-6 LPA. Top recruiting companies are Google, Microsoft, and all. After 3rd year, some got interned and some chose different pathways.

I will summarise by saying that our campus placements and infrastructure are very good.

Placements: Placements are good. Almost all good MNCs come here and hire students. There are many branches and all students got placed if they make some efforts in a particular domain and some basic skills are also mandatory in a student's mind to handle questions.

Review of IIT Roorkee - Indian Institute of Technology.

Placements: The placement is, I think, one of the best placements in the history of IITs. The average package here overall is 18-25 LPA. The mechanical average package is above 15 LPA. The highest goes up to above 40 LPA. You can assume that 50% of students choose core placement, while the other 50% choose non-core roles, like the IT sector. The core roles offered are design manager, manufacturing engineer, etc. The non-core roles offered are software engineer, finance, etc.
