The salary of an MTech graduate in Mechanical Engineering from IIT Bombay varies from branch to branch.

• Mechanical Designers get more salary ranging from 5 to 12 lakh than others some even get around 20 LPA.
• Thermal Engineering students get slightly lower packages than design students 
• Manufacturing Engineering students get salaries of around 4 Lakhs to 8 Lakhs

MTech students are usually hired by core companies that gain less profit than Software Companies and hence end up with lower packages than BTech students. Moreover, companies are aware that BTech students are all-rounders and thus prefer them to MTech students. However, the promotion of MTech students is faster than that of BTech students.

The salary-wise placement statistics of this year at FMS are as follows

Below INR 20 LPA: 13

INR 20 LPA – INR 24.9 LPA: 89

INR 25 LPA – INR 29.9 LPA: 33

Above INR 30 LPA: 122

So it can be inferred from the above data that the lowest package was around 5-15 LPA. Such low packages are accepted by students who are in desperate situations. This can be due to a poor CV or lack of communication or an inability to handle the stressful placement process. Such desperate situations result in compromising brand name, CTC, location, domain, or designation.

So if you are concerned that the lowest package is less than what you are expecting, rest assured. Because you can still work in improving your profile, work on your content and communication and make the best of the on and off-campus opportunities.

One of my friends got into NMIMS through NMAT. According to him, it was not the most sorted choice as their rankings and placement reports are inflated.

• They show an average package of 16 LPA being offered to 550 students but it is impossible to get that.
• Usually students receive a 12-13 LPA for core subjects and 9-10 LPA for HR.
• NMIMS is a popular brand, thus the brand name attracts lots of students in Hyderabad and Bangalore campus. But they are not good enough as generally promoted.
• IMT, NMIMS, SIBM, XIMB were once one of the top private B-schools . But their standards have degraded recently. Only MDI managed to maintain and move forward.
• No other B-school increased fees like NMIMS. Its fees are more than XLRI and IIM A, B and C.
• The building at NMIMS is also not great, according to the fees that they charge.
• No other college charges its candidates for conducting CDPI or GDPI. Whereas NMIMS students have to pay 1000 rupees.
• After the release of the results, students have to pay fees of about 9 lakhs in just 1 week.

Spending a huge amount for MBA education is not a great idea. People might consider it an investment, but you have to make an informed decision by also considering the ROI. Therefore, if you are an outstation student consider other colleges than NMIMS.

The overall IBS average CTC for the 2020-22 batch is INR 8.71 lakhs and the highest domestic salary package is INR 21 lakhs. While the highest international salary package is INR 53.45 lakhs.

The ratio of salary between the batch is like

• Top 200 students - 7.5 lakhs. In hand was mostly 50k/- month after tax, pf, gratuity
• Next 500 students - 4.5–6 lakhs - In hand 35k/- month
• Remaining: up to 4.5 lakhs or unplaced. In hand minimum 25k/- month 

My friend got placed decently while at IBS Hyderabad. Some major highlights of the placement scenario then were

• People who started with good brands and salaries but below-average job profiles remained stuck for several years
• The profile of the candidates mattered the most during placements. Anyone with skills that are in demand can claim a good position in the corporate world.
• Many students, especially girls who left India to pursue MS in MIS, etc are earning 100k+ USD.
• Many students who initially started with a sales job, switched domains and are now earning 20+ LPA

Being one of the oldest and top IITs, IIT Roorkee boasts an excellent placement scenario with many top companies visiting the campus.

This year too, the entire batch got placed in their 4th year. Some students even got 2-3 job offers. Many seniors were given PPOs while doing their internships.

Nutanix offered job roles to many students. The highest international salary package stood at 1.3 CPA whereas the highest domestic salary package offered was 60 LPA. The lowest salary package offered ranged between 8 LPA - 9 LPA. 

A number of big firms made it to the placements like 

• Microsoft
• Google
• Nutanix
• Adobe
• DE Shaw
• JP Morgan
• Goldman Sachs

The most common role offered was that of an SDE. Non-core industries included consulting, finance, etc.

The Department of Instrumentation and Control Engineering at NIT Trichy has fifteen permanent faculty members with teaching and research interests that cover a broad range of fields. The department consists of six well-equipped laboratories which are attached to the curriculum development. Additional four research-oriented labs are present in the department. All laboratories are very well established with adequate facilities.

Instrumentation and control engineering is a diverse field and offers scope in various fields. ICE at NIT Trichy enjoys placement good enough to be considered in top 5 branches. As a student of ICE, you can choose between software, electronics, core instrumentation, and management jobs. So if you are good and have got a decent CGPA, you won't find any difficulty getting a job in some top companies.

Go for this course only if you are really interested in Instrumentation. Otherwise, join some other branch in NIT Trichy so that you are able to learn something.
