Honestly, a true coding lover needs not to worry too much about placements. They should just be good in what they do and certainly, an opportunity will come their way.

Let’s explain this through an example of a friend who was a graduate of Industrial Engineering and Management, IIT Kharagpur, and is currently in Amazon as a Software Development Engineer.

Owing to his Industrial Background, he faced backlash initially and couldn’t sit for placements in big companies like Adobe, Google, Microsoft, and Goldman Sachs. He then came across a startup company - BankBazaar that visited the campus on the 2nd day of placements and also had a coding test. He passed the test with flying Colors and 

for the first offer during that placement season.

Ever since then, he started receiving calls from top companies like Amazon, Google, Walmart Labs, etc. He soon joined Amazon and worked for a few years. Recently, he got a call from Goldman Sachs HR for the Goldman Sachs, Strategic Group. This came as a surprise since this company only prefers toppers from IITs and IIMs. It was his dream job to make mathematical models and program them. Fortunately, all his interviews went pretty well and in the end, he was introduced to the Managing Director of the Finance Division, at Goldman Sachs. who conducted a discussion on the projects he would be working on. 

After experiencing almost 3 years in the Software Industry, my friend only advised coding lovers to focus solely on their passions and let the world find them.

IIT Madras has concluded its 2023 placement drive. 445 students were reported to have been placed on the first day itself. Students received 407 pre-placement offers. 25 students received a salary package higher than INR 1 CPA. The job roles offered to the students include Software Development Engineer, Data Science, Quant, Core Engineer, etc. 

Some of the top recruiters include

• Texas Instruments
• Bajaj Auto Ltd
• Cetak Ltd
• Qualcomm 

During IIT Madras Placements 2022, the B.Tech CSE batch received an average salary of INR 41.72 LPA.

On average, 100 students get placed in Jamia Millia Islamia (JMI) in the Engineering department every year. 

If we look at the placement drive for 2020, a total of 257 students were placed. More than 52 companies participated in the placement program. The companies that recruited the maximum number of students are Microsoft and Deloitte. The highest salary package went up to 41 LPA.

Many reputed companies took part in the placement program along with Microsoft and Deloitte. They include Accenture, Wipro, HP, IBM, Bosch, Phillips, Texas Instruments, TCS, Zia Electronics, Siemens, Infosys, Tech Mahindra, etc.

As an alumnus of B.Tech CSE at NIT Srinagar, I will try providing information regarding the placement scenario of my branch.

A CSE student can be placed on campus and off campus. Around 15-20, visiting companies allow CSE students to sit for their placement drive. No CSE batch faces a shortage of placement opportunities, as per my limited knowledge. You can also opt for off-campus placements. 

With good wifi facilities in hostels, you should opt for some relevant courses on edX, Coursera, or other such platforms. This will really help you grab good opportunities. 

As an NIT student, you’ll get much more placement opportunities than most other engineering students. But struggle is everywhere. In order to grab good jobs, you’ll have to work on your skill set.

An MBA at UBS Chandigarh is a relatively good option. The placement scale is increasing by 30% every year. Almost 90% of students get placed with an average package, and none of them from the HR field will become jobless. The table given below will help you gain more clarification about the recent placement statistics

When it comes to the overall experience, it is pretty decent. This institute provides excellent classes conducted by renowned and experienced scholars. The library facility is very helpful in gaining more knowledge about the respective subject. They follow an incredible curriculum system that covers every minute detail of the MBA program. The faculties provide effective guidance for your research and publication of papers.

UBS is up to the mark for other cultural events and extra-curricular activities. They conduct cultural events every year and this institute has a rich alumni network, which is beneficial for connecting with more people and helping to improve our social skills

Thus an MBA (HR) from UBS Chandigarh is a good option in terms of placements and the overall experience.
