once you clear IIT jee

iim results are out...and sadly i am selected by none. Was generally browsing blogs (one of my newly found hobbies) on b-schools to get some encouraging blogs on people making it to b-schools ,their journies etc etc. That's when i came across so many b-school gyan blog and since i have nothing better to do at the moment, thought of putting some gyan on another much sort after undergrad institution, the IITs.

Don't worry, I am not going to bore you guys with how to get to iit, the coaching institutes all around are much better at that. This post is for the guys who clear the IIT JEE but still are sad that they didn't get a good rank...blah blah...... I still remember the day when I was sad even after cracking the jee as my rank was bad. But today I realize that once you dont get computer science or electrical, you can take that from me that rest all other branches (mechanical, production, naval, civil etc etc) are the same at least in terms of placements (which i have seen becoming the priority of 99.9% of the students graduating out of IIT).This happens because almost every student of IIT wants to get into some kind of finance or consultancy or analytics job and  which most of them get also. Almost no one wants to get into core engineering jobs because of the low salary and manual work that one might have to do. Everyone wants to sit in front of a computer and do some kind of analytic work. And these consultancy/finance companies are hardly ever bothered about your engineering branch and are ready to take you in so long you are good with numbers.

According to me, so long you are getting CS or electrical in any of the IITs, go for it without worrying about which IIT it is as these branches still offer a good career with companies like google, facebook etc. Rest all go by the location of the IIT. Bombay and Delhi being located in the economic centre of the country are certainly the best


So, anyone feeling bad about not getting a good rank in jee, hopefully this post cheer up you guys
