Placements: First of all, I would like to talk about the internship. More than half of the students got the internship till the end of April either through the campus or in academic research. If you are from the CSE department then mostly, you will get selected. Companies mainly look for coders. So I would suggest doing competitive coding. Some startups are also involved where you can easily get selected if you are into development. The stipend varies from 10,000 to 200,000. However, you should not look at ...

Placements: Placements were a bit down this year, which was also a common trend in other colleges too. But, overall, if you are in computer science and electrical, you will definitely get placed and the average package for CSE is around 20 LPA. But for other branches, students with a higher CGPA and extra-curricular activities play a major role. But anyway, the average package for other streams was around 10 LPA. Around 80% students got placed this season and around 50% got an internship from the placemen...

Placements: Placements were a little bit lower in 2016 as compared to the previous batch but nonetheless, a majority percentage got placed [about 90% or so]. The rest 10% too chose to wait for higher packages [not that they were not given placement offer but they wanted better]. Institute policy prohibits the official release of placement data - Highest, lowest or average. So, all the figures are based on hearsay. Institute highest [as heard] was 1.5 crore/annum [offered to two students]. The lowest is n...

Placements: The placements this year were little lesser than the previous one. Although the top packages were higher, the average salary plummeted. Many new startups visited and the general trend of people rising in non-core continues. I assume around 80 percent seniors ended up getting either a PPO or job offer. Highest salary was around 1.5 crores and average being near 12-13 lakhs. Also, internship was the same though the process still continues.

Placements: I am talking about the Mechanical department as I know more about it. Around 60-70% are placed while dual degree had 100% placement in the last year.

Most of the students are untrained so companies prepare them first. Mos...
