IIT Delhi All Questions

Hey Promod,

Placements

The statistics of placement isn't fixed. It varies from year to year. Earlier when there was an oil and gas sector boom then many MNCs were recruiting from IITs. But nowadays MNC placement have decreased significantly in geology and geophysics department. There was also a surge in PSUs also recruiting from IITs. These days some PSUs like CIL and ONGC are coming for campus drive every year. But most of the PSUs are recruiting through GATE rank which is why the placement has decreased. Also, PSUs directly recruit candidates with the top rank in GATE. On an average you can say there is a placement can be said to be 50% in IITs but then again it would depend on the rank of the IIT that you are studying in. The placements in a top tier IIT would be different from that of a lower tier IIT. The rest get employed through GATE and Combined Geo scientist exam, which are common platform for all.

Hello Aspirant,

 There is no way to get free education in the mentioned colleges. You have to prepare for the respective exams and you will get admission in those colleges only if you get a good rank. Do not look for short cuts, do proper studies required for it and then join these colleges. Then only you will be able to properly utilise the facilities available over there.

  Good Luck !!!
