Come December and the season of placements begin for various campuses of the Indian Institute of Technology across India. The placements began from December 1 for the 2018-2019 placements and like every year, top notch companies from India and abroad came to recruit their future employees.

Students seem to be interested in the start-up offers as they are likely to help in the growth of their career trajectory. They are giving importance to the job profile rather than just the company name.

At the Indian Institute of Technology Bombay (IIT-B), app-based cab aggregator Uber is expected to offer an annual gross salary of Rs 1.04 crore.

However, at Rs 1.5 crore, sources claim that Microsoft is still offering the highest salary package.

Last year too, Microsoft had offered the highest package of ($2,14,600), which annually amounted to Rs 1.39 crore. This was followed by Uber which had offered a student Rs 99.87 lakh ($1,55,000) at IIT-B.
