*************************
For decades it has been the ultimate middle class aspiration - that kids crack IIT - because that means unlocking social / economic and even marital happiness. However of late - the entire dynamics of IIT and the opportunities that it unlocks - has been changing. In this deep dive we take a look at how much IIT graduates are being offered (besides the few crore plus offers) and why are pure science IIT graduates finding themselves without a job at the end of the placement season.

Making an episode about an Institute that you respect is not easy - tried to stick to hard data - that shows a worrying trend. Really touched with so many IIT alumni reaching out that sharing their story and the fact that too much is expected out of a IIT Graduate. Hope this episode helps in a little way. Though not many - did manage to draw a few smart comments that enquired about my educational qualifications ... not that it matters - but here goes:))))) Schooling - La Martiniere College Graduation - Hindu College Masters - St.Stephens MSc - Got admission into Boston University (but dad didn't have 40+ lakh to spare:))) Had the privilege of studying in the best school / colleges of India - But had to work my butt off in the media sector - no godfather - no alumni support - just kept up-skilling and learning on the job.

I'm not from IIT, (ECE from Tier 3 College). But right from the beginning, I was interested in Software Development. I did lot of courses in the same, did projects, increased my rating in Competitive Programming. Finally grabbed International Offer!! With my experience, I can confidently say that, in the present world, you don't need an IIT degree to be successful. "IIT degree" acts as a catalyst for your success but absence of it doesn't make you a failure. Just focus on your skills, be a top player of the game. Your college, your degree, your grades, your branch doesn't matter. The journey is tough but sure is worth rewarding.

As a fellow IIT graduate with a specialization in Mechanical Systems, I can totally relate to the dilemma of whether or not IITs are still worth it. After clearing GATE 2019, I had high hopes of doing excellent research and finding a job where my skills would be valued. However, after two years of hard work and a CGPA of 9.5/10, during the placement, I was offered a position of graduate trainee with a package of 10 lakh per annum. Although this was the highest pay for many of my batchmates who wanted to continue in the core sector, I ended up rejecting the job offer and pursuing my PhD in artificial intelligence and renewable energy in France. I must say, it has been a way more rewarding experience than I ever imagined. So, to answer the question "Are IITs still worth it?", it totally depends on your aspirations and the path you want to take.

An IITian here. The content of this video is absolutely true. No doubt that IITs do office some security in terms of job, salary, quality education and networking. However the amount of pressure that students go through during preparation is not worth all that. I appeared for IIT-JEE for the first time in 2015, but couldn't clear it. I was so much depressed. My world turned upside down. I used to cry at nights. However I gathered courage and started preparing again and luckily cracked JEE in 2016. God knows what I would have done if I didn't clear JEE in 2016 either. Now when I look back I feel that I was depressed for no reason. Most of my colleagues and seniors in my company are non-IITians. And they are also as intelligent as I am (or probably more 😅). They are earning at par with me. If you are a JEE aspirant, do remember that going to an IIT is great but not at the cost of your happiness and mental health.

People, companies know this fact hence they try to give these students the opportunities they deserve.

Darun bolecho Abhishek da. Being an IIT grad I can relate to this absolutely. But this is not just for IITs but for very good universities as well. People have a conception that if someone is studying in a reputed institute he will get everything automatically. However, people fail to see 70-80% students struggle to get through such phases. It is humiliating. And the present fintech and IT sector totally outshines all other sectors which also makes it very clear how our traditional sectors are lacking and soon with automation there won't be any high paying jobs, that's why if you see diploma college placement data in some areas they are doing better as Indian industries needs labours at cheap price, they don't need specialists. They are outsourcing it anyway.

[@mrsarkar6933]

I can tell about situation in 31 NITs across India. NITs are thought of as 2nd grade institutions if IITs are thought of as 1st grade institutions. I was PhD fellow in mathematics in NIT Durgapur and i saw people after Mtech doing PhD in their disciplines. I asked couple of engineering students why are doing PhD after Mtech, why don't do job ? Their answers were "companies are offering 20k salary per month, it is better to join PhD where you get monthly 31k fellowship better than 20k job". The job situation of engineering students is very disappointing

[@learningislife212]

Watching your video, I feel so lucky that I was born to parents who never forced me to any particular field, let alone engineering (IIT)

[@ebrahimm7266]

As an IITian myself, I think one of the biggest problems isn't that of IIT, but the sheer lack of jobs for any other core field other than Computer Science (or maybe even Electronics). For the remaining branches, one may think that there must be some opening, cause if there weren't any jobs then why on earth would these departments even exist, right? But the fact of the matter is that virtually nobody in these branches actually takes a job in their own specialization (even if they do, it's because they weren't getting anything else). Also, as academics in IITs is much more rigorous and difficult compared to any other external institute, it's tougher for IITians that students from other colleges to study the courses from their own specialization, whilst also studying Computer Science for their placements in Software engineering firms. That leaves students from these branches with just 2 options - study in their own specialization and work hard to get a menial low-paying job, or some further education (if you have the money to fund it, ofc); or ditch their specialization entirely to study Computer Science for Software firms. Most people would clearly choose the second option, which works out generally. However, this year was much different as the global tech recession caused most Software firms to virtually freeze all placements. This has caused far worse placements than usual, as if we exclude high-paying trading firms, IBs and HFTs (none of which are related to engineering, btw), very very few companies actually paid a hefty salary for the to-be graduates. This recession has sent shockwaves even to junior batches, most of whom have essentially shifted their focus entirely from Computer Science to fields like Finance, Consulting, Management and Trading; none of which are related to engineering in any way. If anything, IITs' placements stats show that the domain of engineering itself isn't nearly as secure a domain in the job market as once thought to be. My prediction is that in the coming years, more and more IITians would join IIT just for the sake of it, whilst completely immersing themselves in studying Management-related fields for Finance and Consulting positions.

How do you know someone's from IIT? They'll tell you. Literally no one mentions their alma mater unless they're an IITian.

[@loukitmyname]

I never got placed when I completed my Master's in IIT Madras, which even led to me being suicidal. It has taken at least 1.5 years of therapy to recover from that. Eventually, I shifted away from Civil Engineering because of low job demand. I re-skilled myself as a software developer (I was able to do that because of my privilege to some extent), to get a good job and even now I am underpaid, despite highly specialized nature of my job (requires competency in engineering, computer science and Math). I still wish I should have gone to Europe or USA or Canada. No wonder India has so much brain drain. We simply don't have respect for highly skilled employees, especially, but not limited to, ones from engineering background. I love engineering a lot and I think a lot of students too, but struggle for getting admission and then failing to get a job really hurts the morale of students. No wonder India has so many suicide attempts among students. EDIT: Also, there is a fundamental issue of not many entrepreneurs rising in India, for the simple reason that our education stifles the creativity of student. I think the reasons are far too deep than represented in the video. India simply does not know how to use the vast range of talents present among the students. For example, I always wanted to work in space agency, specifically to develop computational tools. However, I cannot do that in ISRO because first, they don't take experienced engineers (because they want to take only through an exam, which apparently our govt thinks is more fair and there is also an age limit) and second, the kind of work I have to do in ISRO is decided by my specialization and not my interests (because governments have decided a career path according to specialization without any flexibility). This further stifles creativity of people. That is the reason our research institutes don't contribute too much in any sector and research is generally stagnant, because there is no value to the new ideas and no funding for ideas. Because there is no funding, no ideas are executed and no new companies are created and hence, not a whole lot of jobs. Indian industries depend a lot of international products/companies because we simply don't have funding to fund ideas of our own. For example, the almost entire IT industry depends on international contracts to earn money, very, very few companies have products of their own. One I know of is Byju's, which provides a service of very dubious utility to it's customers, in my opinion. We hardly try to develop new technologies, products or services, if at all. Sorry, for the long essay, but the issue is very, very nuanced and lies in the flawed foundations on which education system is laid out here.

Most of the jobs are limited to the IT sector. In IIt's, most students who prepare for IT companies ( Please mark my words. I wrote that students who prepare for IT companies, not the CSE students) get placed at the end of the 2nd day or 3rd day of placement. For some other branches, the jobs are a little fewer. But if you are targeting the IT companies and preparing correctly, you will land a good-paying job. Yes, skills play an essential role over degree. But this doesn't mean that degrees play zero roles. IIT tag can give you a chance to stand out, but how you will take advantage of that chance depends on your skills. I agree that IIT does not mean success. There are different ways also, but IIT still gives you something. In my opinion, IIT means something other than success. IIT gives you opportunities and the stage, but how you perform depends on you. One more point that I want to address is that assume that there is an IAS person selected as a cricketer in the Indian team. And he is not performing well in the Indian team. His performance is poor. So does retain him makes a good point? Obviously no. The same thing happens when you will get a job after IIT. If you are not doing justice with your job, then how you can say that the IIT tag should protect me (Don't take it personally, not talking about a massive layoff). This is incorrect to say that IIT should defend my job. Why should IIT protect your job if you do not add value to the company? One thing that I disagree with is equality. They do justice with equality. You should get some relevant information about the placement session in IITs. I am impressed with the placement sessions and placement guidelines at IIT compared to other colleges. In one day, there are two slots. And the company will get slots depending on the package they offer and the company's tag. A student can get any number of offers in a particular slot but has to accept only one offer in that slot and take exit from the placement. For example, If a student gets placed in company 'y' and in the same slot he was placed in company 'z', then he has to take one offer and take exit from the placement so that every student will get a chance and the student already know that which company came in which day and which slot. And most good companies got early slots only. So there is no point in participating in further slots. This will not happen when you first get placed for TCS, but then you will get to know that Google is coming. This will never be going to happen. Depending on its tag, relations, and package, the company will get slots. So there is no harm in taking an offer from a slot and taking an exit so that every student will get a chance. In the video, you mention that company 'X' offers less package. This may be true. But this needs to be completed information. If company 'X' offers less package and is not well-reputed. The company 'X' will not get the early-day placement slots. It got a slot after 10-12 days. Till 10-12 days, most of the targetted student gets placed. What I mean by the targetted student is let's assume company 'X' is an IT company, so till 10-12 days, most students who prepare for IT company get placed. Only those students left who prepare significantly less or no preparation for the IT company. I am saying that those students are okay in study. I am saying maybe they did not prepare for the targetted role. The point that I want to add is you have to make a good balance between the college tag and specialization. You have to understand the jobs available in the market for that particular specialization, and if a job is available, will this college help me get the job? Don't think I got the tag, and that specific tag will do every good thing for me ( This is true for all the tags, not only IIT). Many of us think that story ends when you enter into IIT. But the reality is your story is just started.

[@jayesh9869]

I am an IITian , I strongly agree with your point . The problem of IIT is that they are still focused on their traditional academic culture which should be revised over time . The people in pure or core engineering branches struggles these things the most.

[@r65400]

Do they really struggle? I saw that almost everyone from IITs was placed in good companies on LinkedIn. Also, what is the average package of these core branches?

[@vaishali641]

​@@r65400They struggle more than this actually you are brainwashed by coaching media and media channels don't worry u will come to know about them after 3rd year

​@@r65400 everyone 😂😂😂 lmao are from Mars /Venus / kepler 78B. Listen today's world is of skills not IIT tag

[@vaishali641]

​@@r65400 The average package of core branches in TOP IITs are 6 to 7lpa (i am talking about year and mostly half of them are unemployed) here top IITs are IIT Bombay , Madras , Kgp and Kanpur and new IITs are even less less than 4 to 5 lpa (yearly) do u think taking admission in IIT with a four year fee of 13 lakhs worth it

Indian curriculum needs to make a major shift from rote learning to hands on experience... Mindsets need to change.... It can be done but people should want and understand the need for change... Whenever i teach my daughter in CBSE board and see her learning and mugging up the whole chapter page by page and telling me that she needs to fill the exam sheet for a 5 marks answer tells everything... How our system thrives on learning by heart and lengthy answers means correct answer

I am an IITian and pass out from IIT MUMBAI (CS, 2012 Batch) currently working as a Senior Software Consultant in USA (NYC) in a Top MNC. I can definitely confirm that whatever you told is absolutely correct. Unfortunately, now the standard (In terms of Skill Sets) of IIT graduates has been degraded a lot and I feel very very bad about it because they are getting fired immediately. Their learning attitude is also not there in the industry because they think that they are the best because society and parents think so. To be very honest, after spending 10yrs in this IT Software industry, still I always look to enhance my skill sets and as per my reporting manager I am one of the extremely highly skilled professional but I really don’t know whether my job is safe or not in this global recession. People in the Society including the parents, they don’t want to understand that what an IITian is going through in his life. We are just living in a false illusionary society where people thinks that every IITian is well settled and perfect in their professional life which is absolutely wrong.

[@chikoo7584]

Fascinating and highly informative as always. I have friends who are from IITs and NITs and sadly, this is true. I almost went into engineering but I followed my passion and created a 3D design and animation startup. I would love it if Akash has time to cover the animation, game design and vfx fields as well, because a lot of people are highly skilled, passionate and dedicated artists who deserve a good compensation and career, but unfortunately it is very much ignored in our country, where India has the largest outsourcing work for Hollywood movies and video games.

Hey! Deshbhakt talks about how lower branch people in IITs end up getting 10lpa-16lpa but is it really true? I just saw the placement stats and even Ceramic in IIT BHU has avg 23+ LPA . It's crazy. Similarly, no branch in IIG has median less than 18lpa. This is so contradictory! What have your friends got to say about it?

Truly said!! I graduated from IIT Roorkee at 6 LPA Package and in-hand salary is even less. This low paid placement is not because I was not good at studies, I was placed at the best company for Core. Scenario of core fields is really bad, they treat IITians equal to other lower colleges passouts. Do IIT tag is not as significant as it was once.

[@mridulgupta8782]

Very good analysis of important points being an IITian i agree to most. People should know the truth behind everything. It's great that you are presenting it. " It doesn't matter where you are after 12 th, but 10 yrs down the line you can be in better position than the top performing candidate after 12th." IIT gives you platform but it is not all.

[@shilpasilviastanley1661]

Thank you for this episode. My son will finish 10th this year. We were all set to spend lakhs of rupees on training and getting him into IIT. But somewhere i always felt that I must study the success rates of these colleges. U did it for me. This episode was a real eye opener. I think we along with my son will explore a lot more career options and he can pick what he wants. No more pressure on him.

The real progress is bound to happen when you let your sane mind meander beyond the normal. The points you raised are worth pondering without an iota of doubt, no matter which country you belong to. Even in Nepal, kids are given undue pressure to follow the rat race, which in my opinion is corroding the limitless potential of child's creativity.

[@anandsingh-mp4zv]

I did a chemical engineering program at IIT Delhi after getting a good rank, but now I work in the IT sector. The curriculum was boring and hard, and people who scored much lower than me in JEE are earning 5 times more money than I am. I feel like IIT wasted my time. those who went to lower branches at IIT can understand my frustration because I don't get the respect I deserve. Additionally, individuals with less academic pressure not only read literature, learn new skills, and enjoy their leisure time but also engage in sports activities. Moreover, the fees charged by IITs are significantly higher compared to state engineering colleges. And despite being so unsuccessful and hurdles people mock you like “bhai tum to IIT ho” Even professors are only supportive for further education if you are a 9 pointer other they don’t care
