Generally, in the electrical branch, almost 80-90% of students get placed. The highest salary package offered is 1 CPA. The lowest salary package offered is 12 LPA. The top recruiting companies are Jane Street, Google, and Microsoft. Almost 60% of students got internships in P&G and Dr. Reddy Laboratory. The top roles offered are engineer in petroleum industries and analyst in pharmaceuticals.

However, Power Systems and Power Electronics branch has its own shortcomings.

  • Although most companies of EE allow Power students to sit for placements, if they lack knowledge of ECE subjects of GATE, they cannot clear the written test 
  • You will have limited options unless you are proficient in VLSI. Interviewers may not consider you if you haven’t done VLSI courses
  • Core companies of Power Electronics hardly visit the campus. Those that do visit, either require a high cutoff like 9 CGPA like Enphase Systems or offer a package lower than 8 LPA.

So what is the solution to getting better packages as a student of Power Systems and Power Electronics? Well, you have two options 

  1. Either, do some VLSI courses offered at IIT Madras itself. This will get you a good package from top companies like Intel and AMD.
  2. Or become proficient in coding

These two ways can save you from getting a below-average package. It’s highly advisable to do some courses not related to power engineering to increase your chances of employment because most core companies offer packages lower than 10 LPA.
