What's the placement scenario for M.Tech EE guys in IIT Roorkee?

Honestly speaking, the placement scenario for MTech is not very good. Except for CSE most students face issues during placements and end up becoming teachers in universities. The rare packages that are offered to the EE students at IIT Roorkee are also very small around INR 6 LPA. 

However, there are a few top MNCs like Google, Oracle, Practo, Intel, InMobi, etc. that open job profiles for everyone in general, and instead of considering your branch or program, they look for the skills and capabilities of the individuals. 

One needs to invest extra time and effort to secure packages around INR 25 LPA. Most IT companies offer such packages and not many are aware of this and give in to low packages. You need to prepare well for the interview beforehand. Here are a few ways you can ace your interview and grab a good package and role.

• Right from the beginning, start learning at least one programming language.
• Master either Java or C++ and also understand the basics of other programming languages.
• Become proficient in Data Structures and Algorithms.
• Mastering Python is another way to clear the interview owing to the high demand of AI.
• Practice the learned programming language on the Hackerrank website. Some companies ask for your rank on this website to evaluate your programming skills.

Now the question arises of how to inculcate these skills. Well, you need to befriend a good MTech CSE student who will guide you and provide you with the necessary resources. One can also purchase online courses from Udemy.

It’s recommended that you finish learning these skills by the end of the first year only. Anyone who belongs to a branch apart from CSE needs to follow the above steps to ensure good packages and roles.
