When choosing an institute for their graduation or higher studies, students and their parents pay close attention to placements. Due to a large number of students passing out from engineering colleges every year, there is a dearth of proper opportunities particularly for those coming out of core branches. In KIIT also, the scenario is much better for all the IT branches as compared to the core ones. Almost all the students in IT branches get placed by the end of their final semesters. 

For the 2021 graduating batch, close to 510 corporate recruiters visited Kalinga Institute of Industrial Technology to hire students from different courses offered on campus which include KIIT School of Technology, KIIT School of Management, KIIT School of Biotechnology, KIIT School of Language & KIIT School of Rural Management generating close to 5,500 offers in total. Accenture recruited 718 students and the highest CTC of INR 30 LPA was offered by Amazon. The average CTC was INR 6.5 LPA for the School of Technology & more than 1,500 paid internship opportunities were offered in total.

The companies start visiting KIIT from the month of June itself for recruitment. For the 2022 graduating batch, the major recruiters were Accenture, Cognizant, Capgemini & Wipro, which generated close to 2,000 job offers on Day 1 only. The highest CTC offered was INR 52 LPA by YugaByte Software (P) Limited.

Recruiting Companies in Core Branches

Recently, from the School of Civil Engineering nine & six students got placed in Ashiana Housing Ltd. and the Adani group respectively with a decent package. In the month of May 2022, the prestigious National Highway Authority of India (NHAI) & KIIT DU signed an MOU for a paid internship and it kicked off with 25 students from the School of Civil Engineering. For core branches, if you are capable & have worked hard during four years of engineering you will definitely make it into a good firm with a good package. The number of companies visiting core companies is less as compared to the IT branches.
