Excellent infrastructure, but dissatisfied with placements and internships.

Placements: This year IIT Roorkee has the worst placement season with only 47 companies coming to the college. The placement cell is an absolute mess. They are not working properly, have little communication with branch DPRs, and limited interaction with company HRs for any further vacancies or offers that might be available if they negotiate. 45 students get internships from my course batch. The highest package is 10 lakhs for a 6 months internship, and the lowest is Rs. 25,000 for two months. Top recruiti...

Sometimes, prioritize college over the desire.

Placements: In the core branches, placements are a bit low, no specific companies are visiting the college for branch oriented courses. Students get job opportunities in different domains, in which they get average package of 5 to 7LPA, and the highest goes to 10 to 15LPA. PSUs like ONGC, BARC, and IOL are recruiting. They hire for the manager role and the system engineer.
