Engineering Entrance Exam

Hello,
Placement in CUSAT is almost good. Safety fire branch students gets directly placed in PSUs and many MNCs directly with packages of INR 12 to 14 LPA. Then it comes for CS IT, ECE guys. Awesome placements of them too. Many software firms from Bangalore and Chennai comes for recruitment with average package of INR 8 to 9 LPA. Now, the turn is for core branches like EEE, MECH, CIVIL. In the last 3 years none of the core companies came for recruitment. But yes, these branches have placements i.e in software companies like TCS, etc. With very poor package of INR 3.15 LPA. This year 2019 Mahindra came for EEE and Mechanics, but no one can make into it. Actually, Mahindra didn't wanted anyone from CUSAT, they only came to show that we came here for placements. Now order of how many students gets placed branch wise:
Safety : 70 to 80%
CS, ECE: 60 to 70%
IT : 50 to 60%
Mech: 15 to 20%
EEE: 10 to 12%
Civil : 2 to 5%
Percentage of low placement in Mechanics, EEE, and civil is that no one is interested to go in software sector as it is totally different for them. Hence less number of candidates apply for campus placements. One thing you must keep in mind while analyzing these stats is CUSAT allows only all clear candidates to go for placements. Hence, number of appearing candidates automatically decreases. Hope you get your answer.
