Hi folks!! Firstly congrats on just clearing one of the toughest exams of India. Now before you equate IIT = Placements...please read this.
Well, firstly IIT is and was never about PLACEMENTS. IIT's are always about "knowledge". The knowledge and insight to subject that you get here is priceless!! This knowledge is going to be your modus operandi for anything you do after your 4yrs. This knowledge is what you must have thirst for.
I saw that almost 75% of you were interested in getting CSE branch. Its ok that many of you may be having in coding or computers...that's not an issue. But truly speaking, your choices were driven by hefty pay packages given to CSE grads. Like the average package for a CSE student here is 24lpa. Isn't it intimidating?
If you carry on your 4 yrs with this attitude, then sorry but you cannot go anywhere with this. Even students getting hefty packages have done very very hard work to achieve that.
No branch is bad or good. Placements are just a very small part of them. Moreover, doing a job (provided your financial condition is not that bad) after your graduation is a waste of your potential. Irrespective of any branch you are from, you will get equal opportunities. Each year, students from each branch go for masters in some of the world's best colleges - MIT, Stanford, Harvard, Purdue, Cornell, etc. Of course, you can also go there, provided you change your former attitude.
Take example of Biotech - Out of a batch of 48-50 students, 3-4 of your batch mates will definitely be going for higher studies in ivy league colleges , as they go each year.(MIT, Stanford, Cornell etc.). And this story is of every branch, be it CSE, Mechanical, Electrical, Biotech, Civil, Design etc.
The best attitude would be - be thirsty for knowledge from your 1st day. Question everything? Why is this? How is this? Reach to the root of everything to get a better understanding. Next, after your base is complete, try to advance your knowledge by reading foreign author books and research papers of your favorite topic.
Lastly, never study for marks - always for knowledge. Marks will automatically be reflected in your answer sheet. I know i am speaking like "3 idiot" movie, but believe me, i am a 9 pointer till now with this methodology only. And its never about pointers...these can and will never define your true knowledge. Give your best...and rest will be assured.
