Vibrant college life that you'll remember for a lifetime.

Placements: Out of 30, 15 got placed, 10 go for off-campus, 5 go for higher studies 30 LPA being the highest, the lowest goes to 10 LPA, and the average is 16 LPA. Companies like Schlumberger, British Petroleum, and mainly recruit for core jobs. Internships are very few, like fewer than 5 students get core internships, and for this also CG should be above 9. Geotechnical roles or office roles also are also offered.

A beautiful campus that anyone would love.

Placements: All the giants do come here, but it is not worth the hype. The management here is not able to call the quant giants like Optiver, so these things are disappointing, but the good thing is that more than 95 percent of CSE students got placed this year, and about 60 percent of students in PPO, and that's something really great. The top roles offered are like those of an SDE. This year, as far as I have heard, the highest package is of 1.62 crores per annum. One thing that could be done better is ca...

No, you cannot apply for B.Des programme at IIT Roorkee even if you have cleared the UCEED Entrance Exam because Physics, Chemistry, and Mathematics are compulsory subjects in 10+2. But you can apply for B.Des programme at IIT Bombay, IIT Delhi, IIT Hyderabad and IIT Indore.

IIT Roorkee doesn't offer PhD in Design course through CEED. It only offers a MDes in Industrial Design. Admission to the M.Des programme will be based on CEED 2026 merit rank. The candidate will have to apply directly to the participating college once results are declared.
