Strong CSE, decent placements, average mess.

Placements: I am pursuing B.Tech in CSE. Around 60-70% of students in this course are placed, with the highest package being about 23-24 LPA, the lowest being 3 LPA, and an average of roughly 5-7 LPA. Top recruiters include TCS, Wipro, Infosys, Flipkart, and Western Digital. Nearly 70% of CSE students receive internships, mostly in IT and service-based companies. Common roles offered are software engineer, developer, and analyst. As I am currently in the first year, I don't know much about the insights of p...

This is good for everything a student wants to do.

Placements: I don't know about the placements because as I am in 1st year, I only know the things which are above. The highest package is 23 LPA, and I saw many of recruiters are coming here for the selection, and students are selecting. There are many companies which are recruiting here.

Supportive faculty, good events, and the best placements for CSE students.

Placements: At NIST University, Berhampur, the placement infrastructure and prospects are above average among many private engineering colleges in the region. With effort, you can secure a decent job. However, if your ambition is for top-tier tech companies with very high salary packages, you should not rely solely on the placement cell. You will need to proactively build your skills and perhaps be ready for off-campus efforts too.

NIST University - The place for leaders.
