Life at Indian Institute of Technology, Roorkee.

Placements: Placements are fair enough at IIT Roorkee. If you maintain a CGPA greater than 7, it would be sure that you will be placed. Although most of the students get PPO from companies where they have done internships. For internships, there are fewer companies comparatively. In my batch of chemical engineering, out of 120, only 26 students got internships. While for higher branches, opportunities are at speak.
