The best way to secure a graduate trainee job at flip may through campus placements at IIT Roorkee is to improve your CGPA. But if you are a 3rd-year student, you are past the stage to improve your CGPA. Here are a few other ways
Written Test:
This is the first and the most important step for getting shortlisted. The written test comprises questions very similar to that of the CAT. It’s recommended to do some quantitative-based test exercises and practice some puzzles.
Group Discussion (GD):
To prepare for this round, brush up on your current affairs, and read a little of the newspaper daily so that you are aware of the current happenings. Perform a mock GD for practice. The judges are looking for candidates with excellent leadership skills and creative ideas. Don’t be aggressive at all while delivering your opinions.

Having full knowledge of the company, and its recent development is an added bonus in the round.
Lastly, be confident while answering everything thrown at you and you are good to go.
What is the average CTC obtained by a Mtech Civil engineer from IIT Roorkee? How much % of placements in MTech Civil?
My knowledge is limited to MTech Civil Engineering placements from IIT Kanpur only. But I believe the placement scenario of IIT Kanpur and IIT Roorkee is pretty much the same.
The core Civil Engineering companies prefer structural engineers to transportation engineering and the competition is also high. For a structural engineer position, you might even have to compete with dual-degree students as companies generally prefer them for the structural engineering profile. Also, the number of structural engineers is higher than transportation engineers theory increasing the competition.
Coming to placements, MTech civil engineers rarely land good packages. A few consulting companies like Spectrum offer a very low package of around INR 4-5 LPA and recruit you as a trainee for 6 months. Lnt also offers 36000 per month to engineering trainees for a period of 6 months.
The general distribution of MTech Civil engineers is as follows
- 30% get placement
- 20% opt for a Ph.D
- 30% are employed within 6 months of course completion.
- The rest 20% goes to ESE/PSU
The average package depends on a lot of factors like what career prospect you go for.
What is the scope of metallurgical and materials engineering at IIT Roorkee?
The scope of Metallurgical and Materials engineering or that of any engineering depends largely on where your inclinations lie and how much you are willing to work for it. There are several rare cases wherein a student of Biotechnology, the least preferred branch of engineering, is offered to a good company with a very high package.
IIT Roorkee and in fact, most IITs have low core opportunities but many non-core opportunities. That being said, it’s advisable for an IITian to learn to code for future security. IIT Roorkee offers the perfect culture to learn to code.
It’s a well-known fact that Sundar Pichai, CEO of Google, was also a BTech in metallurgy from IIT KGP. So I would like to conclude by saying that even if there are no opportunities at your door, create one!
How much is maximum package in IIT Roorkee in recent time?
IIT Roorkee Placements 2023 is still conducting its placement drive. The highest CTC was recorded at INR 1.3 CPA while the highest International CTC stood at INR 1.06 CPA.
The below table represents the year-wise highest CTC trends of IIT Roorkee:
|

|
2021 |
INR 70 LPA |
|
2022 |
INR 2.15 ??? |
|
2023 |
INR 1.3 ??? |
It’s important to note that these highest packages may seem huge but in reality, are misleading. Considering the currency change and tax rate the actual in-hand salary is nothing more than 40 lakhs in CS while 33 Lakhs in Chemical.
What should I carry to IIT Roorkee on first day?
On your first day at IIT Roorkee, it’s very important to carry all your academic documents, like mark sheets, identity proofs, and photographs. The registration process at IIT Roorkee is very tiresome so it’s better to be prepared.
Other essential items of daily use one need to bring to IIT Roorkee are a toothbrush, towel, clothes, and bed sheets. Bring a scientific calculator if you have one. There is no need to bring a mattress, dustbin, or broomstick as all this will be sold in a stall on the first day itself.
It’s advisable to pack light as everything is available in the market from pin to plane.
Most importantly pack a lot of motivation and passion before you come to IIT Roorkee!

What should I choose, CSE at IIT Hyderabad, BHU, mechanical at IIT Kharagpur or electrical at IIT Roorkee?
Irrespective of the IIT you choose, CS placements are excellent everywhere with very lucrative packages offered to its top rankers. A good student can pay a package as high as INR 30-40 LPA in CS whereas the same students will only end up with a package of INR 10–15 LPA.
While many may comment that placements should not be the only determining factor, I am here to contradict that opinion. CS is a branch that is dynamic and any engineering aspirants will be attracted to it naturally while other branches are a bit rigid and require specific attention.
As far as CSE at IIT BHU is concerned, it’s at par with most older IITs. The majority of the batch is pre-placed or placed on the first day itself. A few top recruiters include Goldman Sachs, Oracle, Microsoft, etc.
Which is better for an MBA, IIM Amritsar or IIT Roorkee?
IIT Roorkee is a better option for an MBA. It is not just the IIM tag that one should consider while choosing a business school. There are various factors like the establishment year of an institute, course fee, location, placement scenario, faculty, infrastructure, alumni network, etc. that must be considered during the selection.
IIT Roorkee is a well-established institution with a long history of excellence. Its Department of Management Studies (DoMS) has been functioning since 1998. On the other hand, IIM Amritsar is one of the newer IIMs in India, having been established in 2015.
Here are the MBA placement statistics of both DoMS (IIT Roorkee) and IIM Amritsar for 2023:
| PARTICULARS | (DoMS) IIT ROORKEE | IIM AMRITSAR |
|---|---|---|
| Number of Recruiters | 50+ | 110+ |
| Total number of students | 69 | 212 |
| Highest CTC | INR 25.8 LPA | INR 25.21 LPA |
| Average CTC | INR 16.8 LPA | INR 14.63 LPA |
| Median CTC | INR 18 LPA | INR 13.54 LPA |
| Top Recruiters | Deloitte, EY, Paytm, ICICI Bank, Vedanta, Infosys, etc. | Accenture, Cognizant, Dell, Deloitte, Genpact, and others. |
IIT Roorkee offers good placements, but more than that, it provides a rich academic environment to its students. The students of DoMS don’t just interact with each other, but also with the students of other departments like engineering. This enhances their understanding of things, and helps in the exchange of diverse perspectives.
IIT Roorkee is much older to IIM Amritsar, which is why it offers a rich alumni network and a strong brand name.
Because of these reasons, I would recommend you choose IIT Roorkee over IIM Amritsar for an MBA.

Which is better, mechanical engineering in IIT Hyderabad or engineering physics at IIT Roorkee?
It is difficult to determine which is better; Mechanical Engineering in IIT Hyderabad or Engineering Physics at IIT Roorkee without knowing what your expectations from the degree are and your personal preferences. Nevertheless, I am here to spill a few facts about EP at IIT Roorkee.
- Engineering Physics at IIT Roorkee is a multidisciplinary branch, with courses from Physics, Electrical, Electronics, Mathematics, and Chemistry departments.
- The courses included in the curriculum are quite demanding and can be really challenging for those who have little interest in Science
- Engineering Physics provided no core placements after completion of the BTech degree.
- Those who have an interest in a specific field of Physics can pursue research as it has great scope.
- You can also work as a scientist in DRDO or ISRO.
- You can also opt for fields like Artificial Intelligence, Quantum Computing, or Quantitative Finance where people with majors in CSE, Applied Maths, and Physics are preferred.
- Software Engineering roles are also available for EP students although it is challenging to manage the academics along with programming.
I would recommend you go for an easier branch that has less workload so that you can focus well on coding and get placed right after BTech in IIT.
