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.

Hello,

No, your mistake in selecting "Haryana" instead of "Delhi" as the state of 12th-passing during JEE Main form filling will not affect your eligibility for the Delhi quota in JAC (Joint Admission Counselling). Here’s why:

  1. Eligibility for Delhi Quota: The Delhi quota is determined by your school’s location (where you passed your 12th), not what is mentioned in the JEE Main form. If your school is in Delhi, you remain eligible.

  2. Document Verification: During JAC counselling, documents like your 12th mark sheet and school address will be verified. These will confirm your Delhi eligibility.

  3. JEE Data Correction: Even if the correction window didn’t allow the change, it won’t impact your JAC counselling since NTA (JEE Main authority) does not share this detail for quota determination.

  4. Action Needed: Ensure all documents reflect your Delhi schooling. If doubts persist, contact JAC or JEE Main authorities for clarification.

Hope it helps !

if you want you can attempt JEE mains up to 6 time over the period of 3 years this means if you want to attempt you can attempt then in 2025, you can attempt it again and 2026 and then 2027 . These attempts in this increases the number of times of opportunity for students improve their chances of admission in a good engineering university as you can get a good score in them. Practice hard with PYQ question , practice time management and you can see yourself passing with flying colors. JEE MAIN

Hello,

If you can't download JEE 2025 sample papers, here could be some reasons:

  • Site Problems: There could be temporary technical issues in the official JEE website or any other hosting platform for the sample papers. Try after some time.
  • Login Problems: There might be websites requiring a login using your credentials to access sample papers. So, log in correctly.
  • File Format Issues: In some cases, the file format of the sample papers may not be supported by a particular browser or device (for example, PDFs or Word documents). Try switching browsers or devices.
  • Incorrect Website: Ensure that you are on the official or authorized websites of JEE sample papers. Official JEE Main website, NTA, or other reliable educational portals such as Careers360 are recommended websites.
  • Pop-up Blockers: Some browsers block pop-ups, which may prevent the download. Check your browser's settings to temporarily allow pop-up blockers to download.
