Wake up!!
Most of the jobs are for the IT professionals (3–4LPA) and if you really want a core job then you gotta be amongst the top students. Infact even in the computer science branches, you need to be amongst the top students to secure a package of somewhere around 6–7 LPA or higher unless you are an IITian. This is the sad reality that people judge a person’s calliber based on his grades. But that’s how it is. However, if you have an economically stable family background, then you can go for higher studies even after spending a hefty 20 Lacs on your B.tech.
