Engineering placement Highlights 2011


Placements are one of the key parameters to ascertain the academic excellence in the institutions.
A College grows to its full potential by providing quality placements.Placement involves mutual participation of institution,students and the industry for common benefits.
If we consider the top engineering colleges,the placement packages offered and the kind of corporates come up for campus placement drives differentiate these colleges from others. Placements are directly linked to the quality of students the institute has and for top colleges this is why there is always very stiff competition among candidates to secure admissions.
From Placement point of view we can classify institutions in 4 categories :
In the Top we have IITs , BITS Pilani which are reasonably ahead with some exclusive set of companies who only recruit from these campuses. The packages are also on a higher side than in comparison to other institutions. Placements are dominated by Top Global Consulting Firms ,Technology cos, Investment bankers, top PSUs .We dont see any mass recruiters in these premier institutions. In all IITs if talk about B.Tech level ,the top IITs have close to 150-200 companies for close to 300-400 registered students.
A number of global consulting & technology firm recruit as per their specific needs .A number of oversees cos which recruit from MIT, Stanford, Caltech etc. in US have IITs also on top of their list.Though there may not be any IIT listed in top universities survey but a number of IITs graduates either pursue masters in the listed universities or get placed in companies who recruit from these top listed Universities.
In second category we can have other top institutions like IIIT Hyderabad, IT-BHU,ISM Dhanbad, BIT Mesra,College of Engg Guindy,Jadavpur University,NIT Warangal,Trichy,DTU,NSIT,MNIT Allahabad & Jaipur, Thapar University, PEC University , HBTI, Bengal Engg & Science University , PSG College of Technology ,College of Engg - Osmania University , College of Engg -Andhra University, ICT Mumbai where we again find the top notch Software & Technology cos with development centres in India, all NITs have big presence of PSUs like BHEL,NTPC,IOCL, Powergrid, Coal India etc. In these institutions the average salary packages are in the range of 5 -6.5 lakhs.
Even in some the highest annual packages were in between 40-56 lakh for international offers.
For 2011 passed out B.Tech batches the highest annual packages to selected students in some of these institutions were:

As a large number of institutions were established in the period between 2007-09 ,the institutions have faced a number of challenges like faculty, good talent pool of students which are the basic requirements for good placements.

A small majority of institutions are there in Haryana who offer reasonable placements .Haryana has close to 145 engineering colleges right now but majority of colleges were established in between 2007 -09.
From placement point of view ,the institutions with reasonable placements figures are :
Govt Institutions : YMCA University of Sciene & Technology : Placements are reasonably good .In 2011 in IT cos TCS was the mass recruiter followed by HCL. The good thing is there were lot of  good core sector cos who regularly recruit from the campus with packages in the range of 4-5 lakh per annum.

In this list,there are some colleges where the on campus drives were not so high but the students have done fairly well in joint campus drives conducted in other colleges.
In Haryana as earlier mentioned a large number of colleges have been established in between 2007-09 . In our personal view ,among these new colleges there are just 3-4 colleges which have established themselves in the way that they can make steady progress in future and the students who does academically well get good support facilities from the institutes so that they can be made employable atleast through joint campus drives. This way they will be able to attract a good pool of students which is most important to achieve respectable placement records.
