Why don't companies like BCG, McKinsey and JP Morgan come to IIT Roorkee for placements while they hire students from other IITs?

By BCGL MCminsey and JP Morgan, you are referring to Consulting and Finance companies basically.

Consulting: Consulting giants like BCG and McKinsey usually visit only the top institutes and choose only the cream candidates. This is because of the nature of the profession that requires only the best candidate. These candidates should have had an excellent rank which is possible only in the top IITs like Bombay and Delhi. The peer quality is much better at these institutes with some who have won International Physics, Chemistry, Maths, and Astronomy Olympiads, played sports at the National level, and won quizzes & debating events nationally.

Finance: These companies look for an extensive knowledge base in Finance and excellent Mathematical aptitude. These finance enthusiasts are rarely there in Roorkee owing to its laid-back attitude. Not many are able to crack CFA/FRM while there are many who have at IIT KGP. The lack of enthusiasm and preparation on the part of the students has resulted in top finance companies like JP Morgan, Barclays, Deutsche Bank, etc. 

Some other major reasons why these companies don’t visit Roorkee for placements are

• Students at IIT Roorkee are not well prepared in advance for placements. They have no idea regarding case studies and guesstimates. Rarely does anyone prepare for the GD round
• The resume preparation is not given due importance and students take this lightly 
• The company’s PPT is given very less enthusiasm 
• The seniors don’t provide enough assistance and overall the culture at IIT Roorkee is very laid back.

Given the opportunity, some might clear the interview of these big firms but because of the overall preparation of the branch, all the students are deprived of this opportunity.
