Do your best hardwork to get into IIT.

Placements: Placements were very good. Almost all students get placed. Most of my friends got placed. Mostly students were placed in different top universities as associate professors. Some students were getting internships from foreign countries like Japan, Russia, the UK, USA universities. Good internship opportunities were available for all branches. You can receive information regarding these from the Office of Career Service OCS IITH. A lot of Japanese companies hire from here.

IIT Hyderabad is a good college.

Placements: From the 7th semester, students are eligible for campus placements. Some companies that visit the college are Samsung Research, Adobe Research, and Intel. The highest package offered this year is 90 LPA, and the average package offered is 23 LPA. The percentage of students who get placements is 74.90 percent. I am still trying to figure out whether to do higher studies or to do a job. Wipro and Suzuki provide many internship opportunities. Many consulting companies also come to the college. Deve...

It has good placements and infrastructure.

Placements: Over 60 percent of students get placed in our college. The highest package offered is 2.5 crores per annum from Optiver. The average package offered is 25 LPA. Placements in the circuital branch are a little better than in non-circuital branches. The rest is good and not bad.

Review of IIT Hyderabad College.

Placements: Honestly, the campus placements here are fantastic. If you have skills, it's pretty straightforward to get placed with a decent package. We're talking about a 100% placement rate because more than enough companies are coming to our campus. It's not unusual for a student to end up with two job offers. The highest and the lowest packages vary by branch, but I'd say the top package can reach up to 50 LPA, while the lowest sits around 15 LPA-16 LPA.

Campus Life at IIT Hyderabad.

Placements: 70% were placed in my college last year. The highest package is 30 LPA. All students got an internship in our branch. It is one of the best branches at IIT Hyderabad. You can also prepare for tech. The course of our branches is well prepared and organised.

My review about this college.

Placements: We could learn a lot during internships. If it were an industrial, field internship, we could really learn how companies work, how it was different from academics, etc. Placements were pretty much good compared to all new IITs. The average package was around 10 LPA - 12 LPA. The highest salary was 40 LPA, and the lowest salary was 4 LPA. There were many companies visiting the campus thus providing enough opportunities for placements. Nearly every student could get an internship opportunity if th...
