How is the placement of biotech in NIT Durgapur?
As an alumni of Biotech at NIT Durgapur, I will tell you about the placement scenario of this course.
Only 20-30% Biotech students are placed, mostly through Mass hirings. Usually the salary ranges from 3-4 LPA. Those who are able to grab IT jobs are offered around 5-6 LPA. These are hardly 4-6 students from an entire batch. Top IT and consulting companies visiting the campus do not allow Biotech students to sit for placements. Also, core companies do not visit the campus for placements.
Do not join Biotechnology at NIT Durgapur if you seek placements. But for higher studies, you can join this department. Students from Biotech get admissions into renowned Indian and foreign universities for higher education.
How much do the top b-schools like the IIM's, FMS, MDI, XLRI, SPJAIN, JBIMS, IIFT, and NITIE inflate their placement reports?
The inflation in the package is mostly done by the companies that come to the colleges for hiring. They mention the CTC i.e. the cost to the company, not the actual in-hand salary. There are two major components of CTC i.e. the fixed and the variable component.
Fixed component: This refers to the CTC to which you are entitled to. This is not the in-hand salary. This consists of various components like basic salary, HRA, TA, LTA, PF, joining bonus, and retention bonus.
Variable component: This refers to the incentives or any other kind of bonuses which is given to you based on your performance. While calculating the CTC, the variable component is also added. Some of the companies don’t add the variable components in their CTC.
So, in hand salary = basic+HRA+TA+other allowances - pf deduction - tax. Some of the examples of salary distribution of the companies (for tier-1 institutes) are as follows.
|
Amazon |
|
|
Fixed component |
9 lacs |
|
1st-year retention bonus |
2 lacs |
|
2nd-year retention bonus |
1.5 lacs |
|
ESOP |
5 lacs to be paid over 3 years. |
|

|
CTC |
17.5 lacs |
|
In hand salary |
65,000-70,000 |
|
RBS India Development Center (Royal Bank of Scotland back-end) |
|
|
Fixed component |
9 lacs |
|
Variable component |
10-20 % of the fixed |
|
CTC |
10.8 lacs |
|
In hand salary |
65,000-68,000 |
You can clearly see that Amazon’s and RBS development center’s in-hand salary are the same despite their CTC. Amazon’s CTC is much higher. Placement teams at these institutes have very little to do with inflated figures.
Which is better for placement at Tata Steel IDTR or NTTF Jamshedpur?
IDTR and NTTF Jamshedpur are two institutes that provide various short and long-term diploma courses. While Tata Steel is a big brand that requires no introduction in the field of Iron and steel manufacturing. Here are some of the factors that you need to consider regarding your options.
Tata Steel- Tata Steel is a renowned multinational company specialized in steel making. It is a huge brand in itself. If you receive a placement here it would be a huge accomplishment for you as you would have the opportunity to work with several multi-talented people.

How much do the top B-schools like the IIMs FMS, MDI, XLRI, SP JAIN, JBIMS, IIFT, and NITIE inflate their placement reports?
In the placement process, it is not always the B-Schools that are responsible for reporting inflated packages, but rather the companies. The figure reported by placement cells is referred to as the "Cost to Company" (CTC) and not the take-home salary. This means that simply dividing the CTC by 12 is not an accurate reflection of what you will receive in your bank account each month.
CTC consists of two main components: fixed and variable. The fixed component includes your basic salary, HRA, TA, LTA, employer's contribution to the provident fund, joining bonus, retention bonuses, and ESOPs. The variable component is based on both your performance and the company's performance and is paid out in lump sums either yearly or half-yearly.
Your take-home salary at the end of each month is calculated as basic salary + HRA + TA + other allowances - provident fund deduction - tax. The remaining amount is given to you at the end of the year. To illustrate how companies may inflate their CTC figures, here are a few examples:
- Amazon:
Fixed component: 9 lakhs
Year 1 end retention bonus: 2 lakhs
Year 2 end retention bonus: 1.5 lakhs
ESOP: 5 lakhs to be paid over 3 years
Performance bonus: separate/not reported CTC: 17.5 lakhs
Take-home salary: 65-70k
- Goldman Sachs:
Fixed component + Variable component: 14.5 lakhs
Relocation: 2,00,000 INR (one-time payment)
Supplemental Salary: 3,50,000 INR (supplemental salary is an accrued bonus paid out in monthly installments pro-rated from the date of joining, only applicable during the first year of joining)
CTC: 20 lakhs
Take-home salary: 95-98k
- RBS India Development Center (Royal Bank of Scotland back-end):
Fixed component: 9 lakhs
Variable component: 10-20% of a fixed component
CTC: 10.8 lakhs
Take-home salary: 65-68k
As seen from the examples, despite Amazon having a CTC that is double that of RBS IDC, their take-home salary is the same. This is the typical way it works. The placement teams likely do not have much control over the process.

Where are placements better, IIEST or NIT Durgapur?
Having friends in both the institutes, I can say that overall, NIT Durgapur is a better choice among the two. But IIEST is also an excellent institute with national importance.
There are several factors that affect the placement in both the institutes, according to them here are some -
- IIEST is a famous and well-established institute in West Bengal, previously known as BESU. But, considering India, NIT Durgapur is more popular. The NIT tag itself is a highlight.
- NIT Durgapur has several alumni in tech giants across the world. Students from IIEST are currently in IITs and IISc. This is due to their popularity for higher education.
- Companies recruit fewer students from IIEST, as they have a tendency to leave jobs for better opportunities in higher studies.
- NIT Durgapur also has an excellent coding culture. This increases the chances of securing a job.
- Due to the increase in the number of seats at IIEST, the chances of placement are decreasing.
The following table shows important statistics for both institutes:
