Bengaluru Drop‑out Earns Rs 3 Lakh/Month, Calls IIT ‘Tag’
A person from Bengaluru says he left his final semester of a BTech program in electronics and communications engineering.
He now makes more than Rs 3 lakh a month, which is more than the top salary his college ever offered.
He works part‑time as a contractor and also has five other ways to earn money that don’t need him to work every day.
He says all of this money covers everything he spends on himself, even though he spends a lot.
He posted this to show that going to an IIT school isn’t the only way to be successful.
He thinks an IIT degree is just a label and not a guarantee of success.
He also says that having IIT alumni in your network can help, but it isn’t necessary if you can hire IIT graduates to work for you.
The post is meant to inspire people who might think they need an IIT to do well.
A Bengaluru resident dropped out of a BTech program in electronics and communications engineering during his final semester.
He claims to earn over Rs 3 lakh per month, surpassing his college’s highest placement of $100 k.
Income comes from part‑time contracting work and five passive‑income streams.
He says the main income covers all his personal expenses, which he spends heavily.
The post argues that an IIT degree is merely a label and not essential for success.
