IIT లో చదివేదానికి, చేసే ఉద్యోగానికి సంబంధం లేదు || Most IIT graduates opt for non-core jobs ||
Between 2014 and 2018, over 60% of IIT-Bombay graduates took up jobs in sectors not related to their branches of study, a trend seen across all disciplines except Computer Science and Engineering (CSE) and Electrical Engineering (EE), according to a study by a group of researchers from the Centre for Policy Studies, IIT-Bombay.

However, contrary to popular perception, higher salaries “may not be the dominant factor” affecting the choices, according to the study published in the Current Science journal. Citing “other factors”, the study points to “cultural issues”, causing students to focus more on “extracurricular activities” instead of academics, leading to many being “underprepared for core jobs requiring domain knowledge”. It also cites “pressure of getting placement at the earliest” as one of the reasons.
