The average package offered is 5 LPA, and the highest package offered is 12 LPA. The lowest package offered is 3 LPA. TCS is the top recruiter in our batch, followed by Tech Mahindra and Infosys, too. From our batch, a lot of students opted for medium-sized IT firms in Bhubaneswar and Hyderabad for inter...

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.

Take admission only if you have money constraints, unless you avoid it.

Placements: About 35%-40% of 2021-2025 batch got placed, with the highest package of 23 LPA, the lowest of 1.8 LPA, and an average of 3 LPA-3.5 LPA. Top recruiters include TCS, Tech Mahindra, Mysa, Texas Instruments, HP, Infosys, and other small services-based companies. Our college is not known for internship opportunities, so there are probably 10%-20% internships. The hiring is mainly for development and data analytics.

My advice is to do admission anywhere else but not here.

Placements: The percentage of students placed in my course is only 30%. The highest package in our course is 23 LPA. The lowest package in our course is 3.5 LPA. Gyansys is the top recruiting company for our course. Salesforce is the top role offered in our course.
