My cousin is getting BTech from an old IIT and all the aunties and uncles think that he will be earning in crores. Random people will think that you will be driving in a Mercedes as a fresher from IIT. The reality is his CTC is ~40 L and like 1L is actually inhand every month. This is very less compared to the 10L per month in hand expectation that newspapers and college ads set when they publish inflated offers of the toppers and make it seem like everyone gets crores as a base pay. Even those offers are probably actually only a couple Lakh in hand per month. This places an unfair social burden of expectation on people to prove to everyone that earning in crores isn’t the norm at all and that not earning crores as fresher != failing.
They still put all 4 years of stock into the first year.
