Placements: Almost 80 to 90 percent of people got placed. The rest are those with backlogs and arrears. Everyone got placed in good companies starting from an average salary package of 7 LPA. Super dream offers came for people with good CGPA and good skills (CGPA above 9+). This course requires the person to have more skills because it is mechanical and electronics. So without skills, you won't be considered as good. The lowest package went up to 3 LPA to 5 LPA.
Placements: VIT Chennai is a very good college. It offers very good placements. I think the median package is around 9 LPA, so it offers good value for money. Even average students can get good placements. Around 80% of the students get placed. The highest package is 1.25 crore, and the lowest package is 3.4 LPA.
Placements: Almost every student gets placed, but the package varies. Hardly any high-paying roles are offered. Most students get placed in mass recruiting companies. Shortlisting is random as well, so students should not keep high expectations for college placements. They need to work hard for off-campus opportunities.
Placements: Almost 80–90 percent of the students who applied for placements got placed last year, mostly through mass recruiters. They offer around 4–6 LPA. The highest package in my course was 44 LPA, and the lowest was around 3 LPA. Companies like Whirlpool, ABB, Honeywell, and Alstom are top recruiters. Almost everyone here gets an internship offer by the 3rd year, either via college or outside. Because it consists of credit which is necessary to complete the degree.
Placements: VIT Chennai make sure that every student will get placed. So the placement is 100 percent but there is a cache. If your CGPA is below 8, then you will get placed at low packages like 3.5 LPA. If you are lucky then maybe you will get above 6 LPA. Your grades are much more important in this college than your skill. Many companies will give you above 20 LPA package if your CGPA is 8.5 or above.
Placements: VIT offers an average package that ranges from 8-9 LPA. Some students also get a high package that ranges from 20-30 LPA, and some even get 1 crore per annum, but that would be only for the top students. Many companies also come here, like Google, Microsoft, Deloitte, TCS, etc.
