Respected Sir,
One of my friends has just completed his B.E in Mechanical Engineering from IIT, Delhi. Currently, he is working with Honda-Siel Company at Grt.Noida. Now, he is interested in shifting to US or somewhere in Europe. His CGPA in final yr was 7.66. So, if you could advise on some good job, it would be a great help.
Thanking you tons,
Aneet.

A GPA of 7.66 from IIT is good enough to get admission and financial assistance from many universities as long as you exclude the top tier (like MIT, Stanford, Berkeley etc.). It will be good enough for many Canadian universities.

Unfortunately, due to the current state of economy, the financial assistance picture for mechanical engineering students was the worst I have seen in my life for those who applied last year. I think it is a temporary problem. One should not give up because of one or two bad years. I know even some toppers did not get scholarship for the 2003-2004 academic year, but it is not going to be this way too long.
