Every year, thousands of CAT aspirants dream of landing at an IIM but few realize that the IITs quietly offer some of the best ROI and placements in the country.

From IIT Bombay’s ₹28 LPA average to IIT Kanpur and Roorkee’s ₹18 LPA packages the numbers rival many mid-tier IIMs at half the cost.

And it’s not just about ROI IITs bring in:

• Smaller, more focused batches

• High corporate engagement (especially tech + analytics roles)

• Solid research culture and academic discipline

Still, most aspirants skip applying here because “IITs are for engineers.”

But the truth is most IIT B-schools now accept any graduate and have diversified student profiles over the years.
