By the end of the second day of IIT-B placements, around a dozen Japanese companies had visited the campus and offered 22 students jobs. While the pay packages offered by Japanese firms do not match those of US companies, many students applied to them, seeking a chance to work abroad. Another source said Japanese firms offered packages ranging between 30lakh-40 lakh yen. The Japanese companies made offers that are more or less at par with Indian firms. An MTech student who was placed at Yahoo, said there is a belief that Japanese companies do not pay as much as Indian companies.
