Good crowd in a top-ranked university, Jamia Millia Islamia.

Placements: In my branch (E&C) this time, i.e., 2024, the placement percentage was the worst it can be because of the recession. Before 2024, the placement percentage was decent, with 70-90% placed every year. The highest package was 21 LPA in 2023, and the lowest was 3.5 LPA. The average package is around 7-9 LPA depending on the year. The recruiting companies are C.dot, TCS, Wipro, and many core companies. In my course, since it's compulsory to do an internship in the 3rd year, everyone is doing it right ...

Newcomers should definitely join, especially financially weak students.

Placements: Approximately 70% of students are placed every year, with the highest package being 25 LPA for the 2023 batch and the lowest package at 3 LPA. Top recruiting companies include Flipkart, Algosec, Accenture, and JIT Japan. Very few internships are provided due to a lack of NOC. Roles offered include SWE1, SDE1, GET, Data Analyst, Game Developer, and Web Developer.

Placements: The recent 2025 batch placements are going on with the placement procedure, and RSMUSI offered a package of 8 LPA for computer engineering students. As far as last year's placements are concerned, the highest package was 25 LPA from JIT Japan, and the lowest package was 3.3 LPA from TCS, with an average package of 10 LPA.

Placements: The students haven’t been placed yet as they are in their final year, but we have the opportunity to opt for internships provided by the placement cell and later convert them into job offers. The average package ranges from 5-9 LPA. Top companies include Deloitte, Deloitte USA, KPMG, EY.

Absolutely a good university. If you can't get into MBBS, get an MLT at this college.

Placements: The course is good but there will be placements only after your own hard work. College faculty won't help you. My course provides no placement; you will only have to go to the hospital to get an internship. But the hospital will train you very well because the reputation of this college is on top.

A lot of things I learned here are always memorable.

Placements: The reality is that after doing M.A. sociology, you can either become a sociology teacher or work with NGOs. But teacher is best option I guess Laxman Public School, Periyar school and government schools all need sociology teachers, but placement cells are not helping us. We need to create a Naukri, liked and indeed account; there are a lot of opportunities. The average salary if you get good college is 35,000 per month.

Real experience in Jamia Delhi.

Placements: College is very famous for placements, but for this course, placement is not that great. During our final year, Samsung, Kotak Mahindra, DMI Housing Finance, and Acxiom are top recruiters. The placement process is very tough—4 rounds need to be cleared, and the 5th round is an interview. The lowest package is 4 lakhs. Internships are offered but at a very low stipend, nearly ₹8,000. For experience, many students complete internships; it will add an edge during interviews.

B. Lib. ISC in Jamia Millia Islamia and its experiences.

Placements: It is a job-oriented short-term course (a one-year course). After completing B. Lib. ISC so many students got immediate jobs in the government sector as well as in the private sector. There are facilities for internships after B. Lib. ISC in Jamia. In this field, you will easily get a minimum of 25k or a maximum of 50k plus salary. After getting a job, you will be placed in the library to provide library services to the students.

Good university, with qualified and supportive staff.

Placements: In M.A. History, you couldn't get a job immediately after completing the course because it is not a vocational course. But definitely, it gives you other opportunities like higher studies, research about the past. If you are really interested in history, then definitely one should go for it.
