How much are the packages offered in the electrical branch at IIT 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.
I am a recent IIT Delhi grad and have competing offers from Google India and Uber India. Which one should I join?
I would rather recommend you go for Uber than join Google (India). A few reasons that justify my opinion are
- Uber offers a better pay scale than Google India
- The work culture and nature at Uber are rather stimulating and will always challenge your abilities
- You can move to bigger companies after gaining experience at Uber but the opposite won't be likely possible.
- Employees at Google India are always leaving either for the US or higher studies and the stability of the job is very low.
- The work environment at Uber is demanding, and exhilarating, posing new challenges every day making it a dynamic one
Basically, the work environment at Google is more stable and monotonous without many challenges which are suitable after you attain a certain age and maturity. Till then you are open to challenges that can be sought at dynamic companies like Uber that will help you grow better.
Do you regret joining IIT Delhi?
There are no logical reasons to regret joining a prestigious Institute like IIT unless

It’s important to understand that scoring high marks should not be your only agenda as IITs give so many opportunities and you can learn so many new things. Your constant efforts and determination will keep you afloat even when everything is falling.
Make the most out of your 4 years at IIT by doing things such as
- Participate in cultural fests, and clubs,
- Make new friends
- Attend the classes with the right mindset to learn

BITS Pilani is known for its huge and impressive campus and its beautiful infrastructure combined with top-quality education attracts many aspirants. There are some valid reasons I am stating as to why one should choose BITS Pilani over IIT Delhi

- The timetable is rather flow-like as it’s designed by the students itself and there are some additional electives apart from Engineering subjects to break the monotony.
- An excellent campus with top-notch infrastructural facilities makes the learning experience more comfortable for the students.
- BITS Pilani offers single rooms to its students from the second year itself giving the students a private dove to function well
