SG

Studied at Indian Institute of Technology, Madras (IITM)

IIT Madras Biotechnology will be a good option if you are interested in Biology. If you want to go for higher studies or research, you will get good exposure at IIT Madras. It is a brach with huge research scope. Opportunities abroad are excellent for Biotechnology, ivy league universities offer great courses in Biotechnology and related fields.  

Compared to other core branches at the institute, the placement opportunities are limited. Core placements are very few in number. But there are good opportunities in the non-tech sector. Biocon is one of the very few core biotech companies that recruit through the IIT Madras placement drive. The placement average for the branch is around 60%. The salary packages offered range from INR 8 - 21 LPA.

What is the average package for students of CSE at PES University?

TP
Tiyas Pal Posted On : May 20th, 2021
studied Computer Science at PES University (2019)

The average placement package for CSE students at PES University according to my friends, ranges from INR 10-11 LPA. This was for the year 2020 during which many companies revoked their offers made to the students or reduced salaries owing to the COVID-19 pandemic and subsequent lockdowns.

  • About 80% of the students get placed within 2-3 months of the start of the placement season. 
  • More than 10 LPA average CTC is offered in the CSE department alone.
  • For the year 2019, more than 120 students have got more than INR 10 LPA as fixed compensation. 
  • Though their overall CTC can be much higher just like Microsoft which offers INR 39 LPA as CTC only INR 12 LPA is the actual salary. 

The table below will show the companies, their CTC, and the number of students they took.

Company Name

Final CTC

Number of students taken

Microsoft

INR 39 LPA

11

Goldman Sachs

INR 22 LPA

10 - 15

Cisco

INR 13 LPA

25+

Morgan Stanley

INR 16 – 18 LPA

2 - 3

Walmart

INR 18 LPA

4 – 5

Zynga

INR 14 LPA

3 – 5

Other companies offering fixed compensation of more than 10 LPA include Myntra, Epsilon, Sabre, McAfee, One Direct, Target, Mentor Graphics, Sorocco, Societe Generale, MIQ Digital, Capillary Technologies, etc.

Deloitte offered a package of INR 6.5 LPA and it took more than 90 students where all the branches were eligible. So you can say that this is an average package for all the B.Tech students. This would be much higher for CSE students, while less for other branches.

How are placements for an MTech at the NIT Calicut?

IH
Isha Harjai Posted On : March 26th, 2021
B.Tech Computer Science, Indian Institute of Technology, Delhi

The placements for M.Tech is pathetic unless you are a CS/IT student. There are a lot of core companies that do not even allow PG students to sit for the placement. Even after this, the students might get sidelined and undergraduate students will be hired. 

Students keep on preparing for the interviews and at the end, they are told at the last minute that PGs are not shortlisted. This also includes students with a good academic record and a good CGPA. While the irony is, the students are shortlisted based on their good academic record and good CGPA. A lot of students have experienced this personally multiple times.

CSE and ECE might have good placements. Intel usually takes a good number of M.Tech of VLSI for internships as well as grade 5 officers. But all others are not up to the mark according to them. However, if you would like to pursue Ph.D. after MTech and go into the field of teaching/research, rather than industrial jobs, the brand name of NIT Calicut is going to help you a lot.

There are certain solutions to this as well. You might be saved in this scandal if you manage to get an internship towards the end of your first year as it might lead to a permanent job, at the least. If you are planning to make your future in a corporate career, the students shouldn't stay on campus for their thesis, they must opt for an internship opportunity. This will help the students to grab a good offer at the least.

Studied at Delhi University (2019)

Some of my friends completed their PGDM in finance from IMT Ghaziabad. According to their experience, IMT Ghaziabad holds a good placement record for finance students. However, as it ranks below the top IIMs, the quality of the job profile might vary. But, it’s not necessary that everyone can get a job of their choice in their preferred sector.

Here are some key highlights of IMT Ghaziabad.

  • The opportunities for middle office investment banking are quite limited. Therefore, you would have to struggle for even getting a good internship in the same.
  • Based on your caliber, you can grab job opportunities in finance with some of the highest CTC packages.
  • In one of my friend’s batch, the highest packages for finance were up to 18-19 LPA while the average package was around 9 PLA.
  • Many finance students managed to grab RM/PM roles in private sector banks.
  • Big 4 consulting companies recruited students for IT ERP consulting.
  • If you have great academics coupled with CFA you can get the best of best opportunities in IMT Ghaziabad.
Categories IMT Ghaziabad
Course Fee 19.53 lakh
Highest CTC 28 LPA
Average CTC 12 LPA

Overall, you won’t be disappointed with the placement opportunities at IMT Ghaziabad. The only thing you need to focus on is your academics and good networking in the industry. Also, clearing the CFA exam can significantly boost your overall profile.

Vivek Taneja Posted On : May 27th, 2021
B.Tech Mechanical Engineering, National Institute of Technology, Manipur (2019)

My brother is a third-year student of the CSE branch at NIT Manipur and he is preparing for the placements. Despite the fact it is newly established, his seniors’ placement record was quite good. 

Here are a few insights into the placement packages at NIT Manipur.

  • The average salary package offered is usually around 4-6 LPA.
  • A couple of years ago the highest package was hardly about 10 LPA that too for very selective students. However, it has improved in recent years.
  • Last year, three students received a package of 17 LPA in BPCL. All three students belonged to different branches namely CSE, Mechanical, and Civil. This is the highest package till now. The second highest package of 10 LPA at Microsoft was bagged by a guy from the CSE branch.

Overall, NIT Manipur has managed to get fairly good packages as compared to other newly established NITs. Although the highest package varies every year, it is never less than 12-15 LPA according to recent years’ placement records.

Is the placement scenario of IIM Udaipur that bad which is written on the BLeak?s page about IIM Udaipur?

RD
Rumi Doshi Posted On : July 31st, 2021
Studied at Indian Institute of Management, Udaipur (2019)

As a student of MBA at IIM Udaipur, I can share some information about them with you. The college follows IPRS standards when it reports its placement figures. You should know that there is a difference between IPRS audited reports and non-IPRS audited ones.

  • Many colleges that do not follow IPRS will show higher placement reports as they take into account any additional sums like ESOPS or even bonuses for that matter.
  • These could be receivable one year after employment but are still included in the campus recruitments.
  • On the other hand, IPRS is known to provide salary breakdowns for the year and clear statements as to what is the base and variable pay.
  • Similarly, non-IPRS colleges will also show higher figures for internships by including the stipend provided for transport, accommodation, etc. In my opinion, these are just inflated figures.
Categories IIM Udaipur
Course Fee 15.5 lakhs
Highest CTC 22 LPA
Average CTC 12 LPA
Recruiting Companies Cisco, Pidilite, ICICI Bank, Goldman Sachs, etc.

IIM Udaipur is committed to being transparent in providing information in terms of placements or even when it comes to the admission process for college operations.

You should go through the previous year’s placement records before assuming anything and panicking.

What is the average placement of NIT Trichy and all the top MCA colleges?

SB
Shruti Baghel Posted On : December 12th, 2022
Former Assistant Professor at National Institute of Technology, Tiruchirappalli (2015–2017)

It is not about placement and companies coming to NIT Trichy; it is about students participating in events all year. Without a doubt, Academics, Ambiance, Library, and Good Hostels are the Foundation for them to prepare for their placements and transition from Academia to Industry.

However, participation in sports, events, seminars, conferences, Technical Lectures, Cultures, Tech Meets, Competitions, freelance projects, interdisciplinary research, and a traveling-ready mentality prepares them for placement. 

According to some media reports, 90% of UG students have already been placed. For PG courses, the placement rate has so far been 85%. The full set of statistics has yet to be released.

Previously in 2021, the overall placement rate for undergraduate and graduate courses was 86.5% and 83.3%, respectively. According to official reports, 283 companies participated in the 2021 PG course recruitment drive.
