Indian Institutes of Technology (IITs) have recently concluded the first phase of recruitment where a lot of companies visited to get hold of the new graduates. They even offered a good salary package. However, it should be noted that a huge chunk of IIT graduates rejected offers to join startups and new-age tech companies.

A final-year B.TechIIT Madras student, Ashutosh Kumar landed a job with an attractive salary from an MNC which he declined to come on board with ePlane.ai. The startup has been founded by Ashutosh's senior Pranjal Mehta. The 21-year old joined his senior when he was in his first year at IIT and as the startup was developing on campus, Kumar would visit the lab to work with Mehta.

International companies like Micron, SMS DataTech, Uber, Cohesity, Mercari, Optiver, Microsoft, Sony, ANZ, etc. also offered great job opportunities to the IIT students.
