How much are the packages offered in the electrical branch at IIT Delhi?

SG
Sushmita Gupta Posted On : April 3rd, 2023
studied at Indian Institute of Technology, Delhi

I am the right person who can answer this question because my brother recently completed his BTech in Electrical Engineering from IIT Delhi. He revealed the actual side of the placements in Electrical, the side that no media covers and is the dark reality.

Indeed there are packages as high as INR 70 LPA, but these opportunities are outside India in countries like Singapore, South Korea, the US or the UK. Other core jobs offered to Electrical students are limited to India and are very few with average packages.

The only perk of being a student of this branch is that it is a general branch covering diverse sectors and you are open to sitting for placements in all sectors be it Finance, Consultancy, Core, Coding, or Data Science. Electrical Engineering is a generalized and vast branch. However, the packages for these are mediocre with the highest around 25 LPA (CTC). The in-hand salary is much lower.

The companies offering the highest packages in India include 

  • Samsung
  • Goldman Sachs
  • Tower Research Capital
  • Quadeye

Other companies offer average packages in the range of 15-16 LPA only.

Some colleges like ISB, BITS Pilani, XLRI, SPJAIN, etc. do not have a caste-based reservation. Is it not mandatory for all colleges in India?

PD
Pratim Dasgupta Posted On : April 22nd, 2023
PGDM HRM, Xavier School of Management

Caste-based reservations in higher education institutions are mandated by the Constitution of India, specifically under Articles 15(4) and 16(4). These articles allow for the reservation of seats in educational institutions for students belonging to Scheduled Castes (SCs), Scheduled Tribes (STs), and Other Backward Classes (OBCs), who have historically been marginalized and disadvantaged in Indian society.

However, it's important to note that private institutions, such as ISB, BITS Pilani, XLRI, SPJAIN, etc., are not required to provide caste-based reservations. These institutions have the autonomy to decide their own admission policies, including the reservation policies they choose to implement.

In recent years, there has been some debate about whether or not private institutions should also be required to provide caste-based reservation, but no concrete policy changes have been made at the national level as of yet. Some states, such as Maharashtra, have mandated caste-based reservations in private educational institutions through state-level policies, but this is not yet a nationwide trend.

It's worth noting that even private institutions that don't have caste-based reservations may still have other forms of affirmative action policies or scholarships for disadvantaged students, including those from SC/ST/OBC backgrounds. Ultimately, the admission policies of each institution will depend on their individual values and priorities.

All these allowances vary as per three classes of cities: A, B, & C.
  • The gross salary of IES at the beginning is around 60000 INR, but the in-hand pay is around 45000-50000 INR with other non-cash allowances. Gradually, it increases with time and promotes job positions.
  • The salary in the first 5 to 10 years of a job may not be lucrative like IAS, but after 20 years, the salary is almost at par with IAS or IPS.

Compared to IES, software engineers with the same years of experience earn a lot more. The payscale is even higher for IIT, IIM graduates. A CSE graduate from IIT after 20 years of experience earns at least 30-40 LPA (plus onsite opportunities). 

Students from IITs may not have job satisfaction from IES engineering posts. Students from the Civil branch can go for IES jobs. But if you are from ECE/EEE/Mechanical try to avoid IES engineering jobs.

Is branch sliding option there at MNNIT Allahabad?

AA
Aarti Ahuja Posted On : October 6th, 2023
Lives in Allahabad

MNNIT Allahabad has a branch sliding option at the end of the first year. But it comes with its own set of challenges. Here are the key requirements in a nutshell:

  • Eligibility: To apply for branch sliding, you need a CPI of at least 7.5.
  • Competition: Brace yourself for some fierce competition. With just a handful of seats available in each branch and a whopping 90% of students applying, it's like JEE Main all over again.
  • CPI Requirement: If you're aiming for the hotshot branches like IT or CSE, you'll need a CPI north of 9.0.
  • Result Timing: Now, here's the tricky part. The timing of the result announcement can be a tad frustrating. You might spend a couple of weeks attending classes in your current branch before you get the green light to switch. It's like a plot twist in your academic journey.
  • Catch-Up Game: So, you'll need to be a master at catching up. You'll join a new branch and realize that you've got some ground to cover.

In conclusion, branch sliding is an exciting opportunity that offers students the chance to explore different academic avenues. However, it comes with a set of challenges, including intense competition, and stringent CPI requirements.

Why is IIT Madras not popular like IIT Bombay/Delhi, though Chennai is a metropolitan city?

PR
Paridhi Rathi Posted On : March 16th, 2023
Master's in Chemistry, Indian Institute of Technology, Madras (IITM) (Graduated 2017)

Here are some points to consider if you're thinking why IIT Madras is not popular like IIT Bombay/Delhi, though Chennai is a metropolitan city:

  • IIT Madras is located in Adyar, which is easily accessible from the airport and Chennai Central and Egmore railway stations.
  • Chennai has plenty of sightseeing options, particularly its beaches, like Marina and Elliott, as well as nearby tourist locations like Mahabalipuram and Pondicherry.
  • However, Chennai's climate can be described as hot and humid throughout the year, with only slight variations in temperature between the three seasons. Mumbai, in comparison, has a cool breeze across the beachside in the evenings to cool you down.
  • Language could be a barrier in Chennai, although many non-Tamilians have settled here, and you can manage with a working knowledge of English. 
  • Finally, IIT Madras consistently ranks at the top in the NIRF rankings for back-to-back years, which is a testament to its research facilities, faculty, and infrastructure.

Overall, while Chennai has some concerns, it is by no means an inferior option compared to other cities, and IIT Madras could be an excellent choice for you.

Overall, IIT Gandhinagar is too focused on placements and does not encourage preparing for competitive exams.
