Even though the pandemic has affected employment opportunities, and almost everyone has had a salary cut, software engineers and IT professionals have sailed through pretty well. Students who have passed out from IIT institutes have always had an upper edge in placements and have always had hard-to-resist offers. This time as well, domestic packages offered at some of the premier IITs have not shown any dip. A package of Rs. 80 lakh has been offered by more than one firm on some campuses.

Several international firms conducted virtual interviews this year owing to the global pandemic. Among them, US IT giant Cohesity has offered the highest package of $200,000, which is a whooping Rs. 1.5 Crores.
