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.
Placements: Up to 80% of the students from our senior batch were placed in the year 2024. Top recruiting companies are Tech Mahindra and TCS (Tata Consultancy Services). The highest package was 23 lakhs in the year 2019, and the lowest was 6.3 lakhs per annum.
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.
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.
