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.
BTech EE Placement: Maximum, Minimum Annual Salary
Institution | Maximum Salary (In Rs Lakh) | Minimum Salary (In Rs Lakh) |
IIT Madras | 45.03 | 6 |
IIT ISM Dhanbad | 45.03 | 4 |

On Question asked by student community
Have a question related to JEE Main ?
Hello aspirant,
If your syllabus is completed with theory , use the next 30 days only for smart revision . Make short notes and revise formulas daily for Physics , Chemistry and Maths . Solve previous year JEE Main questions topic-wise and then full mock tests every 3-4 days. Analyse mistakes properly and revise weak areas again . Avoid new topics and focus on accuracy , speed and confidence building during revision.
FOR REFERENCE : https://engineering.careers360.com/articles/jee-main-revision-strategy
Hope the details will help you.
THANK YOU
Preparing for the JEE Main in just 30 days is a challenging but achievable task if you follow a highly disciplined and strategic approach. According to the Careers360 30-day study plan , the key is to shift your focus from learning everything to mastering high-weightage topics and practicing rigorously.
Phase 1: Week 1 & 2 – Focus on High-Weightage Chapters
During the first 15 days, prioritize topics that frequently appear in the exam.
-
Physics: Modern Physics, Heat & Thermodynamics, Optics, and Current Electricity.
-
Chemistry: GOC (General Organic Chemistry), Chemical Bonding, p-Block elements, and Solutions.
-
Maths: Matrices & Determinants, Sequences & Series, Coordinate Geometry, and Vector & 3D Geometry.
-
Study Strategy: Use NCERT for Chemistry and simplified notes for Physics/Maths. Spend 3-4 hours on each subject daily.
Phase 2: Week 3 – Revision and Formula Memorization
-
Short Notes: Go through the short notes you made during the first two weeks.
-
Flashcards: Use flashcards for inorganic chemistry reactions and physics formulas.
-
Mock Tests: Start giving one full-length mock test every alternate day. Analyze your mistakes immediately to avoid repeating them.
Phase 3: Final Week – Full Simulation and Relaxation
-
Previous Year Papers (PYQs): Solve the last 3-5 years of JEE Main papers in the actual exam time slot (9 AM–12 PM or 3 PM–6 PM) to sync your body clock.
-
No New Topics: Stop picking up new chapters. Focus solely on what you already know to build confidence.
-
Accuracy over Speed: Focus on getting the questions right rather than attempting all of them, as negative marking can significantly lower your percentile.

Hello
I think your question sounds like this: "Can a candidate who passed Class 12 in 2025 and filled JEE Main Session 1 apply for Session 2 as 'Appearing' in 2026 as a fresh board candidate, and will both sessions have the same details? "
So yes, you can fill the JEE Main Session 2 as "Appearing". The information filled in Session 1 will remain exactly as it was and will not change.
Session 1 and Session 2 are treated as separate applications. There is no issue if the qualifying status is different in both sessions. During counselling, the board marks that meet the 75 rule will be considered.
Hello,
If you filled the JEE Main January form with Class 12 passed in 2025 and are planning to appear again for the Class 12 exam through HOS, there is usually no serious issue. You were eligible to apply since you had already passed Class 12. Reappearing through HOS for improvement or requalification is allowed, provided HOS is a recognized board. During counselling, your latest valid Class 12 result will be considered. Make sure you meet the 75% marks or top 20 percentile requirement where applicable. If a correction window opens, update details if needed.
Hope this has solved your query. Thank You.
Good Evening,
Yes, you are eligible for both JEE Mains and Advanced, as you completed your 12th with physics, chemistry and biology. Moreover, you passed mathematics in 2025, which makes you fit the eligibility criteria of both exams.
Aspirant, I would like to inform you that Careers360 recently launched a free mock test series for JEE students. The last date of registration is 8th January, 2026. Enroll and solve chapter wise question papers and improve you concept and assess your learning. The link to the mock test series is attached herewith. https://learn.careers360.com/test-series-jee-main-free-mock-test/
