Placement Cell Effectiveness

* Limited Placement Opportunities: According to students, only 12 students out of 120 got placed on-campus, and the rest had to look for off-campus placements. This suggests that the placement cell may not be effective in securing jobs for students.
* Low Package Offers: The highest package offered was INR52 LPA, and the lowest package was INR6.4 LPA. This indicates that the placement cell may not be attracting high-paying companies.
* Self-Sourced Internships: Students mentioned that they have to arrange their own internships, suggesting that the placement cell may not be actively involved in facilitating internship opportunities.
* Unreliable Information: Some students reported receiving inconsistent or unreliable information about the placement cell, which may affect trust and confidence in the institution.
* Lack of Company Recruitment: Companies reportedly refuse to recruit students from the current campus location, which may impact the effectiveness of the placement cell.
* Average Salary Packages: The average salary package offered was INR16.51 LPA, which may indicate that the placement cell could improve in terms of securing higher paying jobs for students.

In summary, while IIIT Sonepat claims to have a decent placement record, student feedback suggests that the placement cell faces challenges in securing employment for students, offering low packages, and arranging internships. To improve the effectiveness of the placement cell, the institution may consider strengthening its relationships with industries, improving communication with students, and developing targeted recruitment strategies.
