>Elders tell that if you get into IIT you will get 10 crore of package

That's nonsense. I'm from CS at a top IIT, and only a handful of my batchmates have that kind of compensation, and that is after >5 years of experience. Absolutely nobody is going to give you a 10 crore salary fresh out of college.

For students from other not so popular streams, in India, a salary of Rs 10-20 lakh a year is more realistic. Again, this is after 4-5 years of industry experience. Even after IIM, the average salary is around 20-30 lakhs.
