There was a vast difference in the salary packages received by students. Data shows that it was as low as nine lakhs at Jadavpur University and as high as 27 lakhs per annum at IIT Kanpur.

If only the IITs are compared, the difference in salary was almost 14.5 lakhs. The highest being from IIT Kanpur and the lowest was from IIT Ropar.

The salary information shared above is the average salary, which means the actual salary received by the students could be higher and in almost half of the cases lower too.

Electrical Engineering: Maximum, Minimum Salary

Few IITs, like Delhi, Kharagpur and Roorkee, did not share their salary details in the RTI responses. While few IITs choose not to disclose details on salary other than the averages as a matter of policy. Among the ones that did disclose, four IITs had the top maximum salary and the lowest minimum in the list was offered at NIT Rourkela.

Questions related to JEE Main

On Question asked by student community

Have a question related to JEE Main ?

Its okay if you missed jee this year you can drop year for JEE to get into a government institute like IET Lucknow to get better placement here and fees is also less in comparison with SRMU but it also means delaying a year with no guarantee success.

Joining a private college like SRMU now avoids losing a year,but it comes with higher costs and generally lower placement statistics compared to top government institutions.

ultimately Your decision should be based on your skill whether you can significantly improve your JEE score versus accepting a faster, but potentially more expensive, path to your B.Tech.

Hope it helps..

For architecture courses, you generally need to complete 10+2 with Maths as a compulsory subject. The main entrance exams are JEE Main Paper 2 and NATA (National Aptitude Test in Architecture), and you need to clear either of these for admission. Some private colleges also have their own entrance exams. The total fees usually range between 5 to 15 lakhs for the full 5-year course, depending on the college. It’s best to check the specific college website for exact eligibility and fee details.

Hii

Here's the information about Architecture course:
- Eligibility criteria: Qualification completed 10+2 with Physics, Chemistry & Mathematics as compulsory subjects with minimum 50% marks. Age limit is minimum 17 and upper age limit is generally not fixed, that varies by college.

- Entrance Exam: NATA & JEE Mains are both main national level entrance exam that are expected by most of colleges for admission. There are some State exam like MHT-CET, UPSEE and many more that are also accepted by colleges.

- Fee Structure: for government colleges its between 1,00,000 to 2,50,000 per year & for private colleges it's between 3,00,000 to 10,00,000. Fees can also vary based on college, state, facilities, and even quota

Actually there is no JEE Mains cutoff for the M.Sc. Mathematics program at TIET as admission is based on academic record they take 40% based on your Class 12 marks and 60% from your ug marks where Mathematics is compulsary.you need overall aggregate of 60% in your graduation and no backlogs from the first two years to apply there.

If you need alternative you can consider institute like IITs, IISc, and NITs through the IIT JAM exam, or other reputable universities like GFTIs ,DTU and BITMesra where jee main closing rank for the General category was around 25,764.

Hope it helps..

Hello

JEE ke liye Hindi medium mein bhi bahut achhi books available hain.
Physics ke liye HC Verma aur DC Pandey (Hindi version) bahut madadgar hain.
Chemistry ke liye NCERT (Hindi), O.P. Tandon aur Modern’s ABC achhi hain.
Maths ke liye RD Sharma aur Cengage (Hindi edition) useful hoti hain.
In books se concepts easily samajh aate hain aur JEE ki strong tayari ho sakti hai.
