In systems, I've personally seen people goto vmware (those who take Zadok's OS class), only 1 to Google (a PhD student from IITKgp who dropped out with a Masters), and this was thru off campus btw. Package is between 85k-90k.

Internship scene is very good, I've seen PhD people make it to Samsung, IBM Research (TJ Watson, Hawthorne, Almaden etc.) and it can't really get better than this. Financial interns are easy to get. So no worries on interns. Also, a lot of people do summer research in the dept. itself - by doing which, you tend to graduate sooner. 4 yrs rather than 5 yrs, for instance. This is at the cost of low paying summer research viz a viz high paying external internships
You can see where alumni have gone:
