The pay packages offered to IIT Bombay students during their campus placements have always made it to the headlines. A recent survey, however, shows that despite hefty amounts, many of these students don't always stick to their jobs for a long time.



More than 37 per cent of students taking up jobs out of campus placements in IIT-Bombay have switched jobs at least once in 2-3 years, says a survey by Insight, the students' media body of IIT-Bombay. Also, 50 per cent of the respondents who changed jobs seem to think that there are issues with the placement process, said the survey 'Post-Placement Dilema'.





"The online survey by the students' media body was conducted among 221 IIT-B alumni, who had graduated between year 2011-2013," said Anshul Avasthi, the chief editor of Insight.Apart from joining a new company, former IIT-B students have picked varied fields like entrepreneurship, higher studies, research assistantship and social work, the survey showed.

Another interesting finding of this survey showed that 50 per cent of the students who switched jobs because they didn't like the work profile or that they had a conflict with the companies' values.
