Well, my brother is currently enrolled in the DEM program. So, I can tell you about what he has learned so far and what was his experience as he’s still in the first term of the course.

About the course:

• The course format is a whip-up of courses that will help you comprehend the commercial implications of modern digital technologies.
• A full semester is devoted to live business simulation projects. The first term focuses on business topics that include operations, economics, and accounting.
• In addition, subjects like Statistics and Advanced Analytics are offered in the first term, laying the framework for future terms in which the emphasis would be entirely on digital technology.
• This is the first program in India where Design Thinking is taught as a full-fledged course over two terms by two industry stalwarts and academics who have previously taught at IIM-A, B, and K.

Faculty:

• Now getting down to the Faculty, they have been excellent so far, and there’s no reason to believe that this will not continue in the coming two terms.
• Members of the advisory board for this new course include representatives from Flipkart, IBM, and Deloitte, to mention a few. As a result, this was created in partnership with industry leaders.

To summarise, my brother’s experience there has been excellent so far, and like every other student he too enrolled in this course, he has high expectations for the following semesters.

As of now, only the first batch has had placements. According to the placement highlights, around 93% of the batch got job offers. Some of the major recruiters were Deloitte, CGI, Accenture, etc.

The packages offered to the students of NIT Trichy who are pursuing M.Tech ME according to what branches they are in are as follows:

• Thermal Power Engineering: The package can be from INR 7 LPA to as high as INR 16 LPA. Some packages may range from INR 10 to 11 LPA as well.
• Non-Destructive Testing: You can expect certain placement with packages in the range of INR 3 to 6 LPA. Students in this branch are eligible for most other companies if they have completed B.Tech in mechanical.
• Energy Engineering: An average placement of INR 7 LPA. Like NDT, you may try your luck in other companies too where B.Tech is required.
• Safety Engineering: You may be offered an average package of INR 6 LPA. The same can be said about the students who are in the Industrial Metallurgy branch.
• Welding Engineering: This branch promises certain placement and ranges from INR 4 to 7 LPA.
• Manufacturing Technology: 80% placement is guaranteed by this branch with packages of around INR 6-7 LPA offered to the students.
• IEM: The average package will be around INR 7-8 LPA with an 80% guarantee. Recent placements from this branch have not been good lately and if you are from a mechanical background purely then you will most probably not be preferred but companies dealing in analytics and management may have use for your skills.

Finally, most of the students in the civil branch are not seen in high regard for me. The placement percentage is from 50 to 70, unfortunately.

IIIT Pune has a decent placement scenario. The average package offered to IIIT Pune students is around 7 LPA. Not all IIIT Pune students get placed, but the best can make up to the top companies such as IBM, Infosys, and more. 

In the below-given table, you can see the placement record of IIIT Pune.

The institute also has wider alumni and influence in the IT sector. So, top IT companies such as Gojek, Amazon, L&T InfoTech, MAQ Software, TCS, Valuefy, Virtusa, Internshala, Oracle, Cisco, ElasticRun, and many more come for campus placement. 

Therefore, if you are thinking of joining IIIT Pune, then go for it. As it has a decent placement record and you will get placed in top MNCs.

LNCT Bhopal is among the finest colleges in Bhopal. According to some of my friends studying there, the placement coordinator of LNCT is very cooperative as well as favors the students. 

• The placement opportunities at LNCT Bhopal are tremendous. 
• The major companies that come to hire are Infosys, Cognizant, Wipro TCS, Capzemini, L&T, Tech Mahindra, Amazon, Amdocs, etc.
• Most of the students are recruited by these companies. 
• You should not worry about getting placed here as they guarantee placements to all students.
• It is advisable to opt for the main campus during your admission. 
• Priority is given to the students of main campus therefore opting for it would be a wise decision. 

All branches are said to be given equal opportunities but it is known to everyone that CS and EC get more preference. There are 80+ national and international companies that visit every year to recruit the best students.

My brother did his M.Tech from NITC. Here is his insight into the general placement scenario for MTech at NITs. 

Over the years it has been seen that the placements for M.Tech students are comparatively less as most of the companies demand B.Tech graduates as the freshers or even experienced candidates. However, in some cases, M.Tech students are considered, like in research and development-oriented jobs. However, most industries prefer B.Tech over M.Tech. 

After pursuing M.Tech your area gets narrower due to which the situation becomes very tricky for both the employers and the candidates applying for. As far as all the colleges are concerned the placement statistics are not so good for M.Tech students.

In the recent placement drives, the average CTC offered at NIT Warangal, NIT Trichy and NIT Surathkal were respectively 21 LPA, 6 LPA, and 11 LPA.
