Previously, only one company arrived for placement of 30 Lacs which follows the procedure like 8.5+ gpa and internship etc. Frankly speaking, IIT Roorkee placement is not good.

Between it may vary also, from one batch to another as students representative only calls up for placement companies. But it would be better to apply off campus too, or prepare for some government services.
