Why is IIM Lucknow so secretive about placement statistics, unlike other IIMs?

SS
Shivam Sukla Posted On : February 2nd, 2021
Studied at Indian Institute of Management Lucknow

Unlike IIM A who reports the placement correctly and follows IPRS, every other IIM doesn’t do the same. But this secretive nature of IIM Lucknow does not conclude that it has a bad or average placement. There are few factors regarding this clause, and some of them are listed below.

  • The placement of IIM Lucknow is quite good. But, there are cases of mentioning increased and inflated figures in data, and average salaries are used instead of median salaries.
  • According to the newspapers, most of them get huge salary packages, which is not exactly true. 80% of the entire batch get good salary packages, while the bottom 20% struggle to get decent packages. This is the case across many B schools in India.
  • There are several factors that matter in placement, which include the number of recruiters visiting the campus, the number of big brands and new brands, the average salary of top 100-200 students, etc.

So, no detailed reports are provided from IIM Lucknow regarding their placement. Detailed information is usually received from insiders like alumni and professors, without disclosure in identity.

IIT Delhi ranks 2nd in the Engineering category by NIRF 2019 Rankings. Biochemical Engineering and Biotechnology in IIT Delhi has a significant role that was played by biochemical engineers and biotechnologists in future industrial development of biotechnology-related processes. Today, the Department provides a structure for an integrated approach towards education, research, and development of various bioprocesses. For MTech, the students must have a BTech in Chemical or Biochemical Engineering.

Biotechnology from IIT is a good option but there is not much scope in India but has more abroad. A student requires a good CGPA and maintains a good CV to land up a good consultancy job or admission at top MBA colleges. It is a five-year course and requires 1 extra year to complete BTech, unlike other Engineering programs. Placements are better abroad than in India and you can receive an average annual salary package of 7 lakhs per annum. The highest salary was 30-40 lakhs per annum.

So a civil Engineering from IIT Bhubaneswar will be better for future to secure a job than Biotechnology from IIT Delhi.

AS
Aditya Saha Posted On : February 14th, 2022
Jadavpur University student at Jadavpur University - Department of Construction Engineering

If you are willing to join Management/Analytics/Consulting or IT sector then choose Ceramic Engineering in IIT BHU. Compared to JU, IITs offer much better non-core placements. 

If you want to join core companies or PSUs then you should choose JU over IIT BHU. Many core recruiters offer job opportunities to JU Chemical Engineering students. Some of the major core recruiters that visit the campus placement regularly are PepsiCo, Cocacola, ITC, Budwiser, RIL, etc. Well-renowned non-core companies like L&T Infotech, TCS Digital, Infosys, etc visit the JU campus placement as well. One other advantage of choosing Chemical Engineering at JU over Ceramic Engineering at IIT BHU is the public sector. SMPCIL and Vizag Steel are the only two PSUs in Ceramic Engineering.
