Placements: Nearly 70-80% of recent passouts got placed. I am not sure about the highest and the lowest packages in our batch. We got Nvidia, Texas, and many more top-level companies. 60-70% of our senior batch got internships. Not sure about top roles, but various types from management to core, including software and IT.
Placements: 4 out of 9 students (44%) got placed on campus. Top recruiting companies were FITJEE, Akash, and Gatik Junior College. The top roles offered were faculty. The highest package was 8 LPA, the lowest package was 5 LPA, and the average package was 6.5 LPA. Internship percentage is 0%. Additional Information: our batch strength was 19, but only 9 of them appeared for placement. No one got an offer for a data scientist, data analyst, SDE, etc., role from our batch. All of the 4 students placed (includ...
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.
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.
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...
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.
