How were Yash Srivastava and Harsh Srivastava, brothers from NIT Raipur able to bag offer of 75 LPA?
Yash Srivastava and his brother, Harsh Srivastava from NIT Raipur were definitely able to bag the tremendous offer of 75 LPA because they had been working hard. If you heard of Codechef, there’s a possibility that you may have heard about them.
They were in the top 2 positions for coding in the institute during their time, at the institute. Other students used to fight for the 3rd spot. That’s because they were the best in coding. They have worked hard to learn algorithms with the help of the internet.
I have a friend who was in the same batch with them. According to him, they used to solve coding problems every day.
I don’t know much about their interview but they loved to do coding.

It is quite unlikely that you will get IISER Pune or Mohali. Even if you got all the answers correct, it’s only half of the total marks. According to the cutoff trends of recent years, it won’t be enough. You may have a chance of getting admission if you are from some reserved category.
Is preferring IPM from IIM Indore over engineering a good decision?
According to one of my friend's personal experiences, you should recognize what you want to do in life further. Whether you want to continue in a technical field or a management field. The next thing is the decent package and the prestigious company, you get your placement.
If Engineering is your choice -
- If you manage to get into IIT Kharagpur or IIT Bombay and spend approximately INR 10 Lakhs for the entire course.
- Then the salary package you receive is INR 10-11 LPA.
- So in this case you can clearly demarcate the difference between expenditure and earning.
If IPM is your choice -
- If we consider that you have taken the IPM course in IIM Indore and spend INR 26 Lakhs till the completion of the course.
- Then get the placement of around INR 17-18 LPA.
Comparing these we can see that by the time your package reaches INR 12-13 LPA being an engineer from IIT, the salary of the IPM graduate reaches very high. So this is where the difference is being created.
Thus we can say that rather than just focusing on return on investment, look for the average package that will last for your entire life.
What should I pack for IIT Bombay?
Most students while packing for their higher studies can think of common things like clothes, bags, footwear, watches etc. In reality, all you need is a few pairs of trousers and t- shirts and a sturdy floater.
Rather than materialistic things, you need to pack and prepare other things that will help you at IIT Bombay
- Determination: Joining IIT Bombay Is a dream for many and since you have achieved it you should be determined to give your best and excel in every aspect. Nurture your abilities to the fullest and pave the way to success.
- A pocket diary: It may sound backward but carrying a diary around is very useful. Note down what you learn new every day or the pending tasks.
- A Family photo: This will keep you attached to your loved ones even if you are miles apart and will also serve as a reminder to talk to them daily.
- Cycle: Yes, even inside the campus you will need a cycle to travel faster and save money.
- Some homemade healthy food: This will keep you full and cater to untimely cravings.
Apart from these things you should also take some habits with you that will help you release stress from academics. These may be anything that makes you happy like dancing, reading, writing, coding, designing, drawing, sports, music, etc.
Which is better, IGDTUW CSE or NIT Calicut CSE?
I have a cousin who is currently working as a senior software engineer at Walmart. He is anex-student of IGDTUW. This alone negates all the claims of people stating IGDTUW is a below-average institute with poor infrastructure and zero placement opportunities. In fact, the first job he landed with campus placements was at Adobe. His juniors got placed in better companies like Google, Facebook, etc which speaks of the improving placement scenario.
Here is a comparative analysis of the placement scenario of these institutes

Its true that NIT Calicut may have an upper hand in terms of infrastructure, but in the long run, that does not really matter. A college can give you the wings to fly and it's on you how high you rise. Moreover, being a girl, you will have better opportunities in a girl's college like IGDTUW.
Yes, you will have to make small sacrifices like moving away from your home and adjusting to minimal facilities but in the end, it will be worth it!

So, I would prefer Anna University because of its good ranking. Good placement history, better faculty, and infrastructure.
Which is better: civil engineering at IIT Bombay or electrical engineering at IIT Roorkee?
In my opinion, the institute is more crucial than the branch as academics rarely matter for an IITian. What actually matters is how the college molded him from a fresher to a mentally stable and talented person who has honed his talents to the fullest through maximum exploration.
That being said, I would recommend you to go for IIT Bombay irrespective of the branch you are able to make it into.
- IIT Bombay has its own legacy of being an IIT from the start whereas IIT Roorkee was a State University initially. Hence it is still undergoing changes. This eventually limits the opportunities offered to the students especially related to research work. At IIT Bombay many universities and R&D labs approach students for internships.
- The rules for girls and boys are equal at IIT Bombay, unlike IIT Roorkee which discriminates between the 2 genders.
- Because of its location, IIT Bombay, the finance capital is preferred over Roorkee.
- The placements are better at IIT Bombay Civil than at IIT Roorkee Electrical, so need not worry about jobs.
Overall, IIT Bombay will give you a sense of freedom to explore everything and broaden your opportunities.
