Shiksha All Time Q&A

N first one, at least one good company visits your campus. In this case, you need to make sure you are among the top 3-5 of your batch to get selected by the company. You also need a strong understanding of fundamentals of the subjects and skills related to the field. If no good company comes to your campus then you have to rely on networking. Start forming your network on sites like LinkedIn from start. Try and get internships from well-reputed companies. Perform well at those internships. As I already mentioned, develop your skill set. For example Auto-Cad or Solid-works for mechanical engineers or C+, Python for CSE engineers. Make sure you become better than everyone else in some particular sub field/ sub-branch then you would have better chances of getting placed.

Some of the reputable names are Huawei, Ericsson, IBM, VMware, Cisco with international offers as well. Training and placement cell of the university achieved noticeable success in helping the students to reach their avenues. A total of 506 students have been successfully placed with attractive salary packages in reputed national and international organizations during last academic session. Average Salary is 4 LPA and median is 6 LPA. The highest salary varies every year and hence the below link would give deep drill down insights about how students have received offers from various sectors and bifurcated according to their specialisation.

Around 90-95% of students from CSE/IT department gets placed in some or the other companies. The package could be as low as 2.8 Lacs or it could be high as 25 Lacs (although only 2 students got that in the entire history), but students at least got a job. Few of the reputed (core CSE) companies which visited the campus in the past few years are Adobe, Amazon, HP, Hike Messenger, etc. Other than this, there are certain other companies such as Ivy Computech, Josh Technologies which also provide a handsome salary. The mass recruiters such as Infosys, Wipro, Cognizant visits every year to recruit a bulk of students. Most of the companies which visit the campus are CSE or IT companies so these two branches have a huge number of opportunities here.

Institutes of national importance. Previously, All India Engineering Entrance Examination (AIEEE) was the mode of getting admission in NITs, while IIT-JEE was the mode to get admission in IITs, but now both these entrance exams are replaced by a common exam called as JEE (Joint Entrance Examination). When it comes to the quality of education provided IITs are ahead of the NITs. The professors in the IITs are better and more qualified than the NITs. The way of education and approach is also better in IIT, but it doesn't mean that NITs are not good. There have been founder of companies in India and abroad from both IITs and NITs and they are considered to be as a perfect benchmark by their institutes to prove themselves superior over the others. The research conducted in the US proved that IITians are among the leading founders of the top startups in America.

The state-of-the-art facilities (wind tunnels/supercomputing facilities) provide for easy experimenting. The professors are adept at carrying out research and teaching. This is mostly because 80% of them are IIT alumni-US Ph.D. So they have a very good understanding of how IITians should be taught. Having gone through similar experiences, they are always willing to help out. This is a huge advantage. Aerospace and automobile companies contribute to most of the core sector placements in the branch. Rolls Royce, Airbus, GE, Honeywell, TATA Motors, Mercedes Benz RnD, Mahindra, QuEST Global, Mathworks, Lennox, TVS Motors, Eaton, Atkins, and MRF are a few I can name off the top of my head (in no specific order) that came over this year. Aerospace start-ups and consultancies in the country come for placements too. CFD and FEA profiles are well in demand. Flight mechanics, controls, combustion and thermal engineering also come up occasionally. However, IIT-Kanpur is a bit different from most other IITs in terms of academics. Our grading system goes 10, 8, 6, 4, 2. In most other IITs it is something like 10, 9, 8, 7 That automatically means that if the professor doesn't think you deserve A, you get 8 in IITK and 9 in most other IITs. This worsens as the grade drops to C or D. This puts us at a disadvantage. Also, it is said (I can't verify this) that IITK was built more around research and thus they have higher standards and expectations. As a result, academics at IITK are considered tough.

T guaranteed as dedicated placement cell has not been established, Even though ICT is considered as one of the best institutes for academics where one can study about chemistry and chemical engineering sciences, as far as campus placements are concerned, the scenario is not that up to the mark. If you are considering to opt for higher studies in place of Masters from US then the institute is rather better augmented to be in as it is far ahead than most of the IIT's in this genre. Overall not recommended for a lucrative career, although for research academics it is slightly better than others.
