What is the reality behind the 1.5 crore package grabbed by IIT Roorkee student?

Ashish GuptaLives in Roorkee, Uttarakhand, India

I am the right person to answer this question as my sister was a batchmate of the student who grabbed a 1.5 crore package offered by Microsoft Redmond. This package was offered to CSE and ECE students.

Microsoft was recruiting based on 2 profiles: Microsoft (Software) India and Microsoft Redmond USA

For Microsoft India, CTC offered was 39 Lakhs and the in-hand salary was 1 lakh per month which is similar to other IT companies.

For Microsoft Redmond, the CTC was 1.5 crore while the in hand was around 45 Lakhs. 

Keeping in mind the PPP of USA vs India, the approximate value is 15 LPA. Do you think this is an extraordinary package, considering all the factors I have mentioned? Many companies visiting the campus even offer packages ranging between 20-25 LPA. In fact, an Indian company AppDynamics had offered a package of Rs.45 lakhs with 30 lakhs in hand. Many such offers by Indian companies are better than US companies. It’s just that the international offers are extremely hyped and not many go into details of the monetary value.

Is NIT Surathkal better than IIT Roorkee

Sapna Malik
Pratik ParikhLives in Bangalore

It would be unfair to make a comparison between NIT Surathkal and lIT Roorkee, as both institutions have their own strengths and reputations. Yet if I were asked to choose one, I would have definitely gone for IIT Roorkee as it is at a whole different level from NIT Surathkal. 

Here are a few reasons that justify my claim:

  • IIT Roorkee ranks 6 among other IITs
  • It is Asia's oldest Engineering college
  • You get the tag of being an IITian
  • It has an extensive alumni network owing to its early establishment 

The only condition under which I would recommend you choose NIT Surathkal over IIT Roorkee is when you are getting CSE at NIT and Metallurgy at IIT Roorkee. Else, choosing IIT Roorkee over NIT Surathkal will always be a wise decision.

How was your first day at IIT Roorkee?

Keshav BeheraB.Tech from Indian Institute of Technology, Roorkee

Your first day at IIT Roorkee will certainly hold a special place in your heart. The first impression is definitely the last impression and so is the first impression of IIT Roorkee. The following answer is based on the experience of a friend.

As she entered, she was thrilled by the beauty of the campus and the infrastructure. She entered the Convocation Hall and got herself registered after a tiresome process. She was then handed a paper ID card.

Next, she was escorted to her assigned hostel which to her dismay was an old and eerie building. Her roommate was in the branch as her and soon she unpacked her belongings and set up her room. By evening, she had interacted with some regarding the Orientation Program.

The next few days were spent in a frenzy with the alarm clock waking her up early in the morning. Students were given a tour of the campus and were also asked to choose their proficiency amongst NCC, NSS & NSO. There was also a test of English where the vocabulary was to be evaluated. 

The students were enlightened in basic policies such as curfew timings and no ragging culture. 

Students were also given a white-colored T-shirt with IITR’s logo and were asked to run a marathon at 6 am in the morning. The food served at the mess was pathetic. 

Overall, the first day at IIT Roorkee is full of surprises and learning new things!

How is the condition of hostels in IIT Roorkee?

Sonal Vaid
Radhika SrivastavaStudied at Indian Institute of Technology, Roorkee

IIT Roorkee offers the best hostel facilities to first-year students. Their hostels are bigger and better than the hostels of other students. The rooms are usually single or double sharing and are decked with basic amenities.

Most students prefer bringing baggage to hostels while some pack almost every possible thing. I wouldn’t suggest you pack a lot as literally everything you want is available very easily. So you will just be adding extra luggage that will become a nuisance for you.

Don’t pack too many clothes and unnecessary electronic gadgets as all laundry facilities are available. Pack light luggage and include the following 

  • Clothes and towels
  • Footwear, mainly shoes
  • All necessary documents
  • Very essential stationery items 
  • Your personal stuff
  • A dictionary 

Refrain from carrying unnecessary bedding and books as everything is available in Roorkee. You can get essential commodities like mattresses, buckets, and other toiletries.
