IIT Roorkee is essentially a technical school. Core B-Schools such as IMT, IMI, and TAPMI will certainly offer better exposure and placement opportunities in the management domain. These B-Schools have a proven track record of producing skilled managers. As a student of the institute, you will get better exposure and development opportunities. 

In terms of ROI, IIT Roorkee placements are good for MBA. The total fees for the course are around INR 8.26 Lakhs, while the average CTC offered is around INR 10.98 LPA. If you want to learn the ropes of management in a typical b-school environment then choosing IMT, IMI or TAPMI will be better.

Last year, my sister was in similar confusion when she was asked to choose between IIT Roorkee and XIMB BM for her MBA. Torn between the two, she decided to do her part of the research on the basis of important parameters like roles offered, placement figures, batch size, and ROI. 

Here are a few highlights from the research she conducted and the conclusions she drew:

  • IIT Roorkee enjoys a good reputation for its MBA program and has given birth to many successful managers.
  • Some of the great roles offered at IIT Roorkee that set it apart from others are product management, marketing management, and financial analysis among many others.
  • The small batch size of 66 students at IIT Roorkee improves student-student relations as well as faculty-student relations creating a family-like bond while the huge batch size of 356 students at XIMB BM is a major problem.
  • IIT Roorkee enjoys a legacy of around 175 years and thus has better infrastructure and a broader alumni base than XIMB BM.
  • XIMB BM MBA fee is around INR 20 Lakhs whereas IIT Roorkee MBA fees are around INR 9.5 Lakhs which is almost half. Compared with the average placements, IIT Roorkee offers a better ROI than XIMB BM.

Lastly, let’s discuss the most important aspect; placements with the help of table

I am the right person to answer this question as my sister was a batchmate of the student who grabbed a 1.5 crore package offered by Microsoft Redmond. This package was offered to CSE and ECE students.

Microsoft was recruiting based on 2 profiles: Microsoft (Software) India and Microsoft Redmond USA

For Microsoft India, CTC offered was 39 Lakhs and the in-hand salary was 1 lakh per month which is similar to other IT companies.

For Microsoft Redmond, the CTC was 1.5 crore while the in hand was around 45 Lakhs. 

Keeping in mind the PPP of USA vs India, the approximate value is 15 LPA. Do you think this is an extraordinary package, considering all the factors I have mentioned? Many companies visiting the campus even offer packages ranging between 20-25 LPA. In fact, an Indian company AppDynamics had offered a package of Rs.45 lakhs with 30 lakhs in hand. Many such offers by Indian companies are better than US companies. It’s just that the international offers are extremely hyped and not many go into details of the monetary value.

It would be unfair to make a comparison between NIT Surathkal and lIT Roorkee, as both institutions have their own strengths and reputations. Yet if I were asked to choose one, I would have definitely gone for IIT Roorkee as it is at a whole different level from NIT Surathkal. 

Here are a few reasons that justify my claim:

  • IIT Roorkee ranks 6 among other IITs
  • It is Asia's oldest Engineering college
  • You get the tag of being an IITian
  • It has an extensive alumni network owing to its early establishment 

The only condition under which I would recommend you choose NIT Surathkal over IIT Roorkee is when you are getting CSE at NIT and Metallurgy at IIT Roorkee. Else, choosing IIT Roorkee over NIT Surathkal will always be a wise decision.

The courses provided by Cloudxlab, E&ICT Academy and IIT Roorkee are well structured. All the credits go to the excellent CloudxLab team which provides constant assistance on issues related to labs and coursework via the discussion forum.

The course offers hands-on knowledge in Data/ Data Engineering technologies. It is suitable for anyone with basic programming knowledge, SQL database work, and an inclination toward Data Science. There is many differences in the price as well as the curriculum of the courses offered by E&ICT Academy, IIT Roorkee, and CloudxLab.

Merits

  • Well-structured coursework taught through short videos and quizzes for evaluation 
  • The discussion forum provides assistance in lab work and projects
  • The solution of the project is available for assistance 
  • The videos can be saved for future reference
  • Courses are offered at a discount except the lab access

Demerits

  • The project work has to be completed in the limited timeframe of 3 months
  • Some Spark modules are difficult to comprehend especially by beginners
  • The videos are extremely short and sometimes fail to explain the entire concept
  • Lab web console and Hue editor face technical issues on a regular basis.

Ultimately it can be said that it is a decent learning platform that provides training at subsidiary rates and is growing at an exponential rate.

Your first day at IIT Roorkee will certainly hold a special place in your heart. The first impression is definitely the last impression and so is the first impression of IIT Roorkee. The following answer is based on the experience of a friend.

As she entered, she was thrilled by the beauty of the campus and the infrastructure. She entered the Convocation Hall and got herself registered after a tiresome process. She was then handed a paper ID card.

Next, she was escorted to her assigned hostel which to her dismay was an old and eerie building. Her roommate was in the branch as her and soon she unpacked her belongings and set up her room. By evening, she had interacted with some regarding the Orientation Program.

The next few days were spent in a frenzy with the alarm clock waking her up early in the morning. Students were given a tour of the campus and were also asked to choose their proficiency amongst NCC, NSS & NSO. There was also a test of English where the vocabulary was to be evaluated. 

The students were enlightened in basic policies such as curfew timings and no ragging culture. 

Students were also given a white-colored T-shirt with IITR’s logo and were asked to run a marathon at 6 am in the morning. The food served at the mess was pathetic. 

Overall, the first day at IIT Roorkee is full of surprises and learning new things!
