How was your first day at IIT Delhi?
Every IITian’s first day is a memory that stays with them forever, and is permanently ingrained, and so was my friend's first day at IIT Delhi.
At around 11 in the morning, students were escorted to Dogra Hall, wherein an orientation session was conducted by the IIT Delhi director who briefed us about the institute administration and clarified basic doubts. The students were impressed by his speech and the two points that resonated the most with my friend were
- Students of IIT Delhi should target job creation and not job seeking.
- Despite a well-structured academic curriculum and research culture, why hasn’t IIT Delhi still been able to make it into the hundred top institutes globally?
The orientation was followed by a tea session of 15 minutes at the LHC lobby. Students were escorted to department-wise orientation sessions that were addressed by the respective departmental heads. Once the orientation sessions concluded, students were asked to go back to the hostels, their new home for 4 years.
A few formalities have to be dealt with related to the hostel BSW volunteers and how secretaries will always be at your disposal assisting you in every possible way. After lunch, she interacted with a few of her wingmates.
The first day at IIT Delhi will surely leave a long-lasting impression on you and will be filled with exciting memories and discoveries.
Which is better, IIT Roorkee CS or IIT Delhi mathematics and computing (4 years)?
Both programs are equally good in their respective fields and so are the institutions offering the programs. It’s important to consider what you expect from the program and what you plan to achieve after graduation to make the right choice.
My sister was in a similar dilemma as yours and eventually, she opted for MCA from IIT Delhi.This program has many courses similar to CS but the only problem is, the pedagogy adopted has a more theoretical approach than practical. Moreover, at some point, you will start questioning the parity of the faculty and will have to resort to self-study.
But here is the bright side, most companies coming for CS placements consider MCA students too, and offer decent roles.
Although I am not well aware of the situation in Roorkee, I can guarantee a true coding lover will prefer CS to MCA any day.
What is the situation of mechanical engineering placements in IIT Delhi?

How much marks are needed for OBC category in JEE (Advance) to get CSE in IIT Delhi?
Never target a fixed score if you are planning to clear JEE because the level of difficulty of the exam varies every year. The closing rank of an OBC candidate is 340 for the CSE branch at IIT Delhi. So, on a rough estimate, a score of around 230 might get you into CSE as an OBC student. However, you wouldn’t limit your capabilities to your branch but give your best.
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.
Can someone get a 60 lacs+ package while working in India after graduating from IIT Delhi?
It is certainly possible for someone to earn a salary of 60 lacs or more after graduating from IIT Delhi but these job opportunities are usually stationed abroad. Some of the top companies in the country, such as Google, Microsoft, and Amazon, are known to offer high salaries to top talent from lITs around INR 1.2 crore. One will have to settle abroad to avail of such high packages.
If you are adamant about staying in India, you can target companies like
- Goldman Sachs
- Tower Research
- World Quant
The highest package you can expect from these companies is around INR 45 LPA. However, it is important to note that the specific salary offered will depend on a variety of factors, such as the individual's qualifications, experience, and the specific job or company they are applying to.
