Coders at IIIT Hyderabad are experts in their field which is why IT giants like Apple are choosing its campus for placements over well known IITs and NITs.

What are the placement prospects of a student pursuing a B.Tech in metallurgy and materials engineering in IIT Madras?
My friend graduated from IIT Madras a few months ago and was devastated by the placement scenario of her branch. It almost seems that only Electrical and Computer Science students were eligible for decent placements, rest all suffered.
Talking about Metallurgy specifically, he did not find a single core company visiting the campus for placements almost as if the branch was non-existent. He was told to maintain a good CGPA of 7-8+ for core roles but no core company visited.
In case you are looking for a high-paying non-core job, which is the case for most IITians, you will have to appear for several written and online exams not related to your specialization. You will have to make a good resume by including extra skills, developing your personality, and going the extra mile in your academics to achieve a high-paying job.
Concludingly, Metallurgy has little or no core job prospects so you will have to work hard to get non-core jobs.

How is the placement in chemical engeenering in NIT Srinagar?
To be frank, the placement scenario in NIT Srinagar for the Chemical Engineering branch is below average. Most of the students have to struggle for placements in the IT sector as only a few companies allow students of all branches to sit for placements. The ones that don’t get placed have no option but to steer their goal toward GATE to pursue higher studies and make it to PSUs.
I asked a friend of mine for the exact placement scenario since the institute does not release official data. As per him, the placements are average as compared to non-core branches. Around 60-70% of students got placed in this course with the highest salary package offered around 18.5 LPA and the lowest salary package offered around 6 LPA. Some top recruiting companies are Vedantu, EIL, GAIL, ONGC, etc.
Overall, the chemical engineering branch will offer better opportunities only if you go for higher education.
