Should you apply for the L&T Build India Scholarship?
If you are interested in working on the core branches, BIS is a fantastic opportunity to study in an IIT/NIT with almost a guaranteed placement at the end of the M.Tech program. The curriculum is bound to be one of the best and industry-focussed as it’s sponsored by one of the most respected companies in India.
You also need to consider the facts that L&T only pays the tuition fee and a stipend. Students need to pay hostel, mess fees etc on their own.
Some candidates who were selected for the BIS programme have mentioned on Reddit and Quora that there is a service bond for 5 years, which can be tough for some students to accept. However, service bonds are not legal in India as per a leading lawyer of Bombay High Court, so they are not really enforceable. If you leave before completion of the bond, it can get a little messy to get back your dues or a relieving letter with a good feedback. But, the law is on the employee’s side.
Some selected candidates have also reported the salaries being on the lower side. Glassdoor mentions PGET salaries to be around ₹6LPA which is around the same as what TCS or Infosys offers to fresh CSE engineers and will get inflation-adjusted by the time the course is completed. Therefore if you are interested in core branches, it’s not really a loss in terms of financial terms and could be a great learning experience.
