Best placement in 2025 by GIET.

Placements: For the placement, the GIET T&P cell provides technical, reasoning classes, and interview sessions for every student. It invites MNCs like Accenture, Capgemini, Deloitte, TCS, Cognizant, etc. In the previous year, TCS hired around 150 students and more than 30 students were hired by Accenture. The packages are around 5 LPA to 15 LPA.

Top companies that visited for placement drives include Tech Mahindra, a mechanical startup, Startup India for students, etc. Internship depends on students' study performance. 70 percent of students got an internship from our course.

GIET information from a genuine person is helpful for future choices.

Top companies that visited for placement with high packages include TCS, Saras, Deloitte, ByteIQ, etc. Internship depends on a student's performance. Top roles offered by our course are software developer, website designer, or developer.

It's the best but it needs improvement in some areas and requires more hands-on experience.

Placements: Placement review is Bad. This college placement cell's efforts are 100 percent but placement offers depend upon students performance. The highest package is not much better but it is adjustable, like 18 LPA. The lowest is 3 LPA. Top companies that visit for placement are TCS, Wipro, White Noise, HighRadius, Saras, etc. Internship offers start from the start of our course. Top roles are web development, software developer, and data analytics.
