What are the characteristics of NITIE students, who get the highest and lowest salary packages during placements?

It all depends on your personality, skills, and grades. My sister was an average student of NITIE but she secured a great package because of her personality and skills. 

There is no guarantee that you will get the highest package. But, you can increase your chances by doing below few things mentioned below:

• Prepare an honest and attractive Resume 
• Invest a good amount of time and enter accurate details. 
• Be updated with current happenings in the country, read the newspaper.
• Get acquainted with management terminologies, and the basics of your desired specialization as these are some of the basic questions asked at the interview.
• Study the company you are interviewing for, profiles offered by them, and expectations of regular visiting companies on the campus.
• Practice Group discussion and Mock interviews
• Prepare explanations and technical justification of every point mentioned in your Resume.
• Attend pre-placement talk of the companies you are applying for and make notes

Hope this helps. All the best.
