You graduated from IIT but got offered Rs 6 lakh CTC? Didn’t everyone expect you to get crore plus? Who will pay for your loan?

A story I have wanted to write for years-About IITians tweaking resume, taking coding classes, changing fields but barely getting placed.

@livemint
There are 23 IITs today. About 2 lakh sit for #JEE exams,16k IITians graduate.

But India Inc wants coders,quant, software lot.What about chemical/mechanical? They take extra classes;learn software & move away from their field to bag a job after #IIT

livemint.com/news/india/iit…
A story of two sets of IITs. The older established ones may get more recruiters but also have larger batches to place.

The new #IITs are scampering for recruiters. Some have dialled placement agencies.

@TauseefShahidi thanks for all the help.

Meet Allrounder.His job is to coax fresh grads to get fake experience in their resume for Rs 2 lakh.

He works in Ameerpet-the nerve centre for India Inc’s moonlighters & IT coaching centre.

It thrives on the lakhs of jobless degree holders.

I report from Ameerpet @livemint
Janakiram-a fortune teller who sits on the road in Ameerpet (Hyderabad) has IT graduates asking him when will onboarding in their firms start?

Q) After spending Rs12-20 lakh in engineering will you take up a job offering CTC Rs 1 lakh?

Ans-Most will

Places like Ameerpet make you realise the money made out of unemployment.

⚠️Engineering colleges teach nothing what the IT firms need @nasscom Most forced to join coaching class to “Upskill” themselves.

⚠️Each 10/10 sft is a coaching centre. Hundreds packed in a tin.
