Why don’t students in IIT Varanasi get jobs?

This year in IIT (BHU), Varanasi, record number of companies came (including coaching centres, universities for PhD students and everything else).

What are the problems faced by IITs and IIMs?

Can students take help of their batchmates in IITs?

They can take help of their batchmates but no, they are either too lazy or too shy. You can enter in IITs with hard work (goes for all), and categories, but you have to do something to stand out from the crowd. I hope that students read this, learn something, and don’t repeat those mistakes again.
