How is it possible that IIIT Bangalore's mTech CSE Average package (27.5LPA) is greater than IIT Guwahati CSE Average package (27.04LPA)?
The difference in the packages is due to the inflated figures released by the institutes. For instance, Microsoft offers 42 LPA packages but the actual in-hand salary is only 13 LPA.
Also, IIIT Bangalore has no core job offers whereas, in IIT Guwahati, you can also explore other domains apart from IT like finance, consulting, analysis, data science, etc. It is exactly why Inthunk placements should never be the criteria to judge the credibility of an institute or program. Rather, we should start considering in-hand averages.
Another possible reason for IIIT Bangalore's better placements is the excellent research-focused culture that provides great knowledge and scope.

What are the marks at which it was 10 CGPA in first year at IIT Guwahati?
It’s almost impossible to achieve a 10 CGPA after the first year at IIT Guwahati or any other IIT. So I will assume it’s the GP (Grade Point) you refer to. Well, the GP of every course varies throughout the year
- The lab marks are normalized with your lab group. This means they are calculated relatively. For example, students might get 10 GP for getting 85+ marks.
- In lectures, the relative grading is followed. Under this, every student is given a different grade point. Usually, the rank ranges are like this; Rank 1–35 get 10 GP, Rank 36–100 get 9, and so on. In the case of absolute grading, 75+ or 80+ get 10 GP, 65+ or 70+ get 9, and so on.
The grading system at IIT Guwahati can be seen changing every year depending on the student's performance and professors' overview of the batch.
What is the scope of a bachelor of design from IIT Guwahati?
Bachelor of Design or B.Des is a great program offered by IIT Guwahati. Here are a few pros and cons to give you a better understanding of the course

This system is very easy and I know a student who had a 7.3 CPI of 7.3 in his first year but managed to score 9.2 in his third semester. Many others have an SPI above 9.

Cons
- Owing to the general assumption, people will consider you inferior for joining this branch. However, it’s much more than just art. It comprises web designing, app designing and other designing elements.
