Do PhD candidates in IIT Guwahati get placements?
One of my relatives has done his PhD from IIT Guwahati and he shared his experience of the same. PhD and placements don’t go hand in hand as the goal of most PhD students is to research work and not get employed. IITs and IISc especially have very few job opportunities for Ph.D. students. Very few students around 3-4 from every department complete their Ph.D. every year.
My uncle told me he had 3 offers before submission. In IIT, it usually takes 4–6 months to get thesis review after submission, and an additional month for final defense. A few students get PostDoc and even job offers from foreign universities and companies.
All in all, it takes 5-7 years to get a Ph.D. degree but mostly the placements are satisfactory. My uncle too has become an assistant professor at IIT Guwahati.
Is the placement scenario for sustainability management in XIMB good and worth the money spent on pursuing the course?
Standing away from the crowd, XIMB Bengaluru weaved sustainability management with MBA. XIMB Bhubaneswar is ranked sixth among the top 100 private B-Schools of India in the Education-World India Private B-Schools Ranking 2020-21.
The two-years, of course, has the following features:
- The admission is on the basis of national-level management entrance exams (CAT/X-GMT/MAT/CMAT/XAT/GMAT).
- There is an eight weeks summer internship program focused on People, Planet, and Profit.
Placements
The placements of MBA-SM are average in terms of package. The lucrative points of this branch are:
- There is a steady upsurge in sustainability-related jobs as compared to functional-management jobs.
- The Faculty of this branch has experience in various fields like law, organizational behavior, waste management, climate change, biodiversity development, and renewable energy.
- There is an option for the student to switch jobs to the main functional field rather than continuing in the sustainability sector.
- The fee of the course is 13.80 Lakhs while the average package offered is 7.5 LPA.
The sustainability sector is booming and one of the interesting sectors. Its scope is slowly emerging with the growing economy of the world.
How are the placements for M Tech Mechanical students in IIT Kanpur?
You will find both core and non-core opportunities in all departments at IIT Kanpur. Mostly Analytic roles are offered to students of all departments. These roles and packages depend on your own caliber and not on the branch you belong to.
Core roles are also offered to Mechanical Engineering students at IIT Kanpur. These roles are given on the basis of your academic performance and your knowledge base pertaining to the specific branch. But it’s important to know that core roles offered are very fewer in number than non-core jobs.
It’s recommended that you prepare for both. After all, some Analytics roles just evaluate you for your aptitude.
What is the package offered to freshers in MBA from NMIMS Mumbai?
My friend was an Engineering fresher student at NMIMS and was very satisfied with the placements of freshers at NMIMS.
Summer placements
During the summer placements freshers are most preferred by sales and marketing companies, especially FMCGs. Even big finance companies hire freshers. The students whether freshers or work experience are preferred on the basis of the individual requirements of the companies which keep changing. So the placement is proportionate and no distinction is made.
Final placements
The final placements take place in 2 stages. The lateral placements are for 24 months and then executive placements are for people having less than 2 years of experience.
Packages offered
During the summer placements, freshers are offered PPOs which are hefty packages. However, for Final Placements, companies do consider work experience and thus experienced ones tend to land better packages than freshers. But the entire scenario is quite unpredictable as I have seen freshers receive the highest package as well as the lowest package. Placements depend on your overall profile which includes your grades and your luck too!
What is the average package for MPAE at NSIT?
MPAE is a decent branch with promising scenarios in terms of job opportunities and curriculum. However, it’s not right to judge its credibility based on its average package. Here are some points regarding the placements here
- MPAE students receive packages of INR 40 LP from Schlumberger.
- Some well-known automobile companies like Toyota, Maruti, Hero, and Honda visit campus for placements.
- Usually the average for this branch hovers around INR 8-9 LPA but only the deserving students bag such packages.
MPAE has better research opportunities than placements and its curriculum is very intriguing. Most students consider higher studies from foreign universities as a preferable option.
However, ever since Mechanical Engineering has been started, the MPAE placements have faced a setback as the core companies are fewer and prefer mechanical students to MPAE students. So choose MPAE only if you are genuinely passionate about mechanics.

This is the placement scenario of the Civil branch at IIEST Shibpur. The number of students applied for placements also matters. Due to their training for GATE, ESE or CAT, etc, or simply the lack of interest in private work, there are a number of students who don’t appear willingly on-campus placement.
How are the placements at IIEST, Shibpur?
As a B.Tech Mechanical student at IIEST Shibpur, I can tell you about the placements in my branch.
Several companies recruit mechanical students from IIEST. Here is a list of them-
- Core Companies- CESC, Maruti Suzuki, Bajaj Auto, Tata power, Saint Gobain, MN Dastur, Hindustan Unilever, Vedanta Limited, Hyundai, DCPL, WSP, VikramSolar, TEGA Industries, Tata projects, Elegant Marine, Denso Haryana, Haldia Petrochemicals, Aditya Birla, Eleation, Tata bluScope, JSL, JSW, Britannia, Wood group, Daimler, Tata Steel, etc.

61 out of 75 eligible students from B.Tech ME were placed last year. As an ME student, you can’t expect a 7 figure salary through campus placements. Only a handful of companies offer 8 LPA or above. Mass recruiters offer less than 4 LPA.
The placements are decent for my branch at IIEST Shibpur. You can consult some seniors to know about the placements in other branches.
How is CSE at VIT Pune in terms of placements?
VIT Pune is quite good in terms of placement for CSE. Most of the companies that visit the placement drive are from CS/IT sector. Most students from the CSE branch get placed. VIT Pune CSE average package is 4 LPA. In last year’s placement drive the highest CTC offered was 9 LPA.

How is the placement of M.tech Computer Science at MANIT Bhopal?
M.Tech CS students are offered good placement opportunities at MANIT Bhopal.
They are eligible for placement in all the leading brands that recruit from the CSE department. The companies that visit the department for placements are- Amazon, Goldman Sachs, Microsoft, Maq Software, Mu Sigma, Morgan Stanley, Deloitte, Hashedin, DE Shaw, Directi and Flipkart.
However, you’ll have to score at least 6.5-7 CGPA to be eligible for placement. Apart from the top brands mentioned above, TCS, Infosys and Nucleus Software also recruit candidates from M.Tech CS.
MANIT Bhopal offers really good placements for M.Tech CS, but the placement scenario is not good for other M.Tech specializations.
Does IIEST Shibpur provide a good placement for M.Tech?
No, it is more or less the same as a bachelor's. Not just at IIEST Shibpur, the scenario of placements for Masters is more or less the same at every institute in India.
If you pursuing Masters then you should keep your aim straight to get a Company related to your branch or pursuing higher studies (Ph.D.) for the teaching line. B.Tech level hiring is more or less the same in M.Tech at the institute. There are some departments in M.Tech which have a moderate placement. The other departments do not offer good placement opportunities. But at IIEST Shibpur you will get the best learning opportunities.
At last, it is up to you only which field you are choosing. If you want a job then go for it with for B.Tech degree, If you want a purely technical job then go for a master's and if you want an academic line then go for further higher studies i.e. Ph.D. from abroad.
