Hi, Never take any undue pressure when you are in CU. This year, 465 companies had its visit in CU and you can think taht there are only 365 days in a year but the no. Of companies here increase every year. Last year, it was 425.nYou will be placed here in any big corporate. Companies like Hewlett Packard, Flipkart, Google, Adobe, Amazon visitited Punjab campus for the 1st time to conduct their campus placements, the highest package offered to 2016 batch student touched Rs. 22.5 lacs.activities: PRATIBHA, AAGHAAZ, Rangmanch, RASHTRIYE HASYA KAVI SAMMELAN, ABHIVYAKTI, and participation in various events held at other colleges, there are various clubs you can join.nCU has good Joint Placement Record. There's no placement cell focusing only on DESIGN candidates but they are fed with placements just as the engineering students giving them almost equal opportunities. A lot of companies including the biggies visit the campus for the joint placement drive.So you can imagine the extent of competitiveness.EG:-A guy is from BE (CSE) then he needs to compete not only with the 1400 other BE (CSE) guys of his batch but also with the students from several other colleges who come to CU to participate in the Joint Placement Drive.But if you are knowledgeable enough that you can compete with all of them than its great.nAll the best.

Hi,
B.Des at IITG is very good where every other branch mostly envy the design branch particularly. The reason is their schedule, curriculum, decent packages which is very different from other regular branches.
I dont exactly know the details but heard from other Design mates that their average salary is around 15lakhs! (Cases like people with no placements, very high packages and people opting for higher studies will be present).
Placements: The placements at DoD are on par with the best of departments and institutes. The department has an institute wide best figures of 95+% of placed students, with only 3 of them still searching for opportunities. Last year, the department had a record 100 % record in placements. The slight decline this year can be attributed to the increase in batch strength, which almost doubled compared to last year. The average salary package of the Bachelors currently stands at 9.7 LPA.
EDIT: UPDATE: The current average salary package for the B.Des students has soared to around 15 LPA. This is for the 2011-2014 batch. I will update the exact figures shortly.
Some of the organisations that have recruited from the Department of Design in the recent past include:
Samsung Research Institute, India,
Microsoft India Development Center
Oracle
Flipkart
Samsung (SISO)
Housing.com
Clarice Technologies
Cognizant Technology Solutions
Accenture
Directi
DE Shaw
Infosys
TCS and a lot more.
Higher Study Prospects: Many students of the department have successfully enrolled themselves in well known courses in excellent institutes. Our alumni have received admits from various well known institutes like:
Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT)
Stanford University
Harvard University
University of Michigan
Georgia Institute of Technology
Carnegie Mellon University
TU Delft and many more.
All the best.
