Is 60 LPA a good salary for the IT industry with 12+ years experience in Bangalore having both an IIT IIM combination?
Yes, 60 LPA is indeed a pretty decent salary for someone working in the IT industry. In fact, after 12 years do people even work for a salary anymore? I think their work-life needs other factors for motivation. These include your growth in the particular field, your understanding of the recent trends, you are being able to undertake risks successfully, or the recognition of things that might be beneficial for you in the long run. What I mean is after a long period of 12 years your salary is no longer the motivating factor. So instead of looking for a higher salary, focus on your own life and personal growth.

Is BITS-Pilani overrated?
No, I don’t think BITS Pilani is overrated in any way. In fact, it deserves the hype it gets because of its standard of education and the opportunities it offers.
BITS is certainly comparable to IITs in terms of academics and faculty. It only seems a bit lacking in terms of research although it has been improving gradually.
BITS tag makes it easier to secure a Master’s in foreign universities. The average GRE score for a BITSian is around 330/340. Thus portrays the excellent English-speaking culture of BITS.
Being a part of the BITS family gives you access to its elaborate alumni network. Its alumni are working successfully across the globe and can be found everywhere be it the UK, US, Germany, France, or Singapore.
BITS Pilani Practice School is a compulsory graduation requirement for all students that comprises Practice School I and Practice School II. Practice School I is an internship of 2 months for students at the end of their 2nd year and Practice School II is an internship of an entire semester, around 5 -5.5 months either in the odd semester or the even semester in the final year.
We can safely conclude that BITS Pilani is nowhere overrated and it certainly deserves all the hype.

What do IIT Delhi hostels look like?
My sister was allotted 3rd floor as a fresher at Kailash hostel, at IIT Delhi. She was a bit disappointed at the time that there was no lift facility, and she had to carry her entire luggage all by herself.
She shared a two-seater room with two other girls because of lack of accommodation facilities. She and her roommates somehow made space for three beds and three table-chairs in that small room. The room was barely left with any space to move around. Thankfully, they got a balcony in which my sister managed to keep her cupboard. The room did not have any space for a cooler, and the hostel had a common washroom. A lack of cooler was very upsetting for her because of the harsh Delhi summers.
During her final year, got a single occupancy room on the ground floor, in the same hostel. But the room was still quite small, and she could barely fit in her clothes and shoes in the given space. The washrooms were still common.
Even though she fondly remembers her days at IIT Delhi, she is always vocal about her disappointment with the accommodation facilities of one of the premiere institutions of our country.

Who are the best professors at IIT Bombay? Why?
Based on my friends' experience, the best professor at IIT Bombay is Professor R. K. Shevgaonkar. He was once a director of II Delhi who left his post because he was strictly against breaking his principles and ethics. He was a man of ethics. He joined IIF Bombay recently and my friend was taught the course EE301- Electromagnetic Waves by him.
The fact that the course book itself was written by the same professor who taught it brought magic to the classroom experience. The students probed challenging questions to the professors and he was the only one who answered each question clearly and precisely. He appreciates the students' thirst for learning and love for the particular subject.
He once told his students that it doesn’t really matter what everyone becomes after leaving IIT, but until they are sitting in his class, they all are electrical engineers. This impressed my friend and he became his favorite professor ever since then.
The exam papers set by him were not monotonous but quite challenging and provoked the students to study harder. He held quizzes to assess the child’s knowledge and abilities.
He is a highly respected professor at IIT Bombay, and because of his immense fame and fandom, the subject taught by him has become everyone’s favorite. He was never strict during classes but his classes were so intriguing that one could not help but pay complete attention.
