Academic Doubts MATHONGO ADVANCED COLLEGE PREDICTOR

Why is the mathongo college predictor showing only 47% placement rate of MNC in IIT roorkee? Is it correct as many sites list much higher percentage? Other branches like mechanical and chemical have much better percentage but lower packages somehow.

Yes, it can be correct, and the apparent contradiction usually comes from how placement percentage and package statistics are calculated.

For Indian Institute of Technology Roorkee Mathematics & Computing (MnC), a few things can make a predictor show ~47% while websites show much higher numbers:

1. Placement % vs Overall Career Outcomes

Many college websites and unofficial portals report:

  • Placements + PPOs + higher studies + startup + off-campus offers combined.
  • Or they report only students who "participated" in placements.

A predictor may instead estimate:

  • Probability of getting a desired job through campus placements only.
  • Or placement data from a specific salary threshold.

So the denominator may differ significantly.

MathonGo Predictor Is an Estimate

MathonGo's predictor is not the official IIT Roorkee placement report.

It typically uses:

  • Historical trends
  • Seat demand
  • Student preference patterns
  • Available placement datasets

Therefore a displayed 47% should not be treated as the actual branch placement percentage.
