NERIST was once considered one of the best institutes in the region. The placement record was remarkable and according to the standard of the industry. 

However, the quality of the institute has started to fall in the current situation. It does not fit as per the mark of a Regional deemed university. Companies like Tech Mahindra, Power grid corporation, Wipro, Oil India, Infosys, Cummin India, TCS, visit the campus nowadays. 

The institute is expecting more recruiters as there is a railway facility in Arunachal Pradesh. Apart from on-campus placements, you can also look for off-campus placements and government jobs.

One of my friends was a former student of this institute, and he was 2015 pass out batch. As per his advice, you would definitely face a difficult time getting success and fulfilling your dream if you opt for Production Engineering. 

However, a small number of students get jobs in the core sector after studying this engineering stream. If you are satisfied with the jobs in IT companies, like Infosys, TCS and so on, you can go for this subject.

In the following, a brief overview has been given about the placement facts of this institute.

However, my friend has studied Metallurgical Engineering in this institute, but a maximum number of his friends was from Production Engineering Stream. Thereby, the student must act wisely.

Business Informatics was chosen by one of my friends at IIIT Allahabad. So, I will be able to share some of his experiences. The course mainly focuses on business and technology domains. The faculty is very helpful and supportive and you feel like home here.

Placements: 

• The branch was established in 2019 which is why there are currently no placement statistics.
• However, you can assume that they are almost the same as IT, because after all, it's an IT branch, and then BI as a specialisation. 
• You don't need to worry about placements, because it's really a worthy discipline.

Cutoffs: If you are in the general category, the cut-off was approximately 7100 according to the last year. Perhaps this year also the cut-off will be similar due to low deviation. The Cut-off stats of 2020 of JEE Mains by NTA are as follows: 

The institute’s course curriculum covers all subjects of the IT branch, plus one additional subject for BI. It will be quite difficult for you to cope up with all the subjects but if you work hard then it will be easier for you.

The placements have been going very well at NIT Trichy. Most of the Core companies visit the campus for placements in August, and most of the seniors get placed in the placement drives. In addition to this, the internship opportunities for the third year students have been tremendously increased in recent years.

The official statistics have not yet been disclosed but the institute is expecting great placement records.

Here are the placement highlights of the year 2020.

The statistics vary every year. The placement may get better in coming years. Due to the consistently good performance by the students.

The placements depend upon various factors. The most important thing is the brand name of the institute, facilities in the institute, and the quality of students admitted.

Taking a new IIIT into picture, there are various possibilities that the placements are low:

• The students are unable to perform as per their potential because they lack proper guidance, motivation, and facilities.
• As these colleges are new, they lack reputation in the industry and companies cannot value the students in that college based on any past experience.
• In the new IIIT, it is a common scenario that facilities emphasize on rote learning rather than practical skills. Therefore, the students lack industry skills.
• There are no alumni network associated with the institute. So, the students lack junior-senior bond and networking opportunities.
• The college requires time to build connections with the companies for the placement purpose.
• At the initial years, the infrastructure facilities are also under-construction. Even if they are established, maintaining the quality of these facilities is essential which requires time.

With the listed points, it would be difficult to expect great placement from new companies in the new IIITs (Vadodara, Kota, Guwahati, etc.). But these problems are for temporary years. The institutes develop over the time and show great placements like that of top IIITs.
