There was a time two decades ago when the word ‘campus placements’ was an alien concept, strictly reserved for the toppers. Only a selected elite got placed in an established company while the others struggled to navigate their careers on their own. The educational institutes soon realized and began to address this critical issue. Now decades later, the scenario has turned around by 360 degrees where hundreds of students from different courses transition to first-time employees by the end of their graduation. Campus placement has become necessary in a country like India where the population overpowers the number of jobs available in the market. Institutions such as ITS Engineering College in Greater Noida tackle this by joining hands with the top industrial and commercial companies, thus providing an opportunistic platform for students to acquire a high-profile job. 

This NAAC-accredited college is helmed by the ITS- The Education Group which has been the torchbearer of higher education in North India for more than 2 decades. Their history goes all the way back to the 90s when they built the first campus in Ghaziabad. Twenty-seven years later, the group has outshined itself with 9+ institutes, 18000+ students, 1000+ faculty in a 60+ acre campus & has awarded more than 1500 scholarships to upgrade the economic standard of India. The group delivers its excellence in the educational fields of Management, Engineering, IT, Dental Sciences, Paramedical Science Pharmacy, Philanthropy, Healthcare, & Wellness. 

It was the vision of the honorable Chairman, Shri R.P Chadha, and the group’s endeavors that gave birth to ITS Engineering College in 2006. Affiliated with Dr. A.P.J. Abdul Kalam Technical University in Lucknow, it ventured into the key areas of engineering and management. Students have the option of choosing a Bachelor of Engineering (B. Tech) in Mechanical Engineering, Civil Engineering, Computer Science Engineering, Electronics & Communication Engineering, CSE- Artificial Intelligence & Machine Learning & CSE- Data Science. While the aspirants for a Master’s in Business Administration (MBA) can choose between Marketing, Finance, Human resources, Information Technology, International Business, and Operations. 

Throughout the years, it has been observed that ITS Engineering College is mostly the first choice for pursuing engineering after the 12th standard while graduates pursue post-graduation in MBA. This is due to the optimum number of off-campus and on-campus placements along with the eminent number of company visits that are increasing each year. The institute has made a booming record with an 80% overall placement in the year 2022. Amongst the many corporate firms, some of the prominent ones were Wipro, Accolite Digital, CSS Corporation, TCS, Infosys, Amazon, etc. While the core technical recruiters were Regalo Kitchens, Spark Minda, Oppo,

ACC Limited, Dunzo, Tech Mahindra, etc. Even the management students were hurled with job offers from companies like Puma, VVDN Technologies, East India Technologies, Triads, etc. 

ITS Engineering College made a trendsetter in 2022 in the placement scenario by collaborating with companies requiring jobs in bulk. Leading corporates like Cognizant made a stellar record by recruiting 33 students in their graduating year. Other prominent companies like Mphasis recruited 33 students, Wipro recruited 28 students, VVDN technologies recruited 16, and HashedIn by Deloitte recruited 16 students. 

The parameters of engineering education today have outstretched beyond academics. ITS Engineering College has done exemplary work in the areas of Innovation, Incubation, and Entrepreneurship. Students can maximize their innovative ideas in the form of technology-driven startups with the help of NewGen IEDC, established by the Department of Science & Technology, Govt of India. 54 Innovative Projects have been financially supported so far with total funding of 1.12 Crore while 8 Companies have filed their patents. 

In addition, the college has also established Institution’s Innovation Council (IIC) to cultivate an innovation culture in the minds of students through various entrepreneurship training programs. These exceptional efforts in innovation have renowned the institution in the Top 25 institutions in 2020 and “Excellent Band” in 2021 by ARIIA- a flagship program by the Ministry of Education, India. Moreover, a 4 stars rating (Maximum rating by IIC) has been awarded to the Institution Innovation Council established in ITS Engineering for its outstanding contribution over the past two years. 

The credit for such a scale of succession goes to Mr. Sohil Chadha, who has been at the helm of operations of ITS Engineering College since its inception. Having been pioneered as the Vice-Chairman of the ITS Education Group, he has been committed to the directives of higher education and the healthcare equity platform. He has ardently addressed the inequality of education at its root and has taken the student-college-industry interaction to the next level through entrepreneurship development cell, NewGen IEDC, incubation center, Center of Excellence, Mou’s, education loan, industrial training, and internships. These initiatives have raised the stakes of technical education and established a secure platform to provide equal opportunities to all. 

Of course, the college doesn’t draw a line with placement opportunities only. It has to complete the cycle by drawing students to the corporate side by upscaling their technical and non-technical skills. Two dedicated teams have been employed for such route of development namely the Corporate Resource Centre and the Personality Development Program. 

The Corporate Resource Center (CRC) takes the helm of the ship by conducting on & off-campus interviews by establishing organizational relations with top-notch companies. In addition, they incorporate guest lectures and industrial visits to impart students with the latest

technical know-how of the market. On the other hand, the Personality Development Program (PDP) runs aptitude & reasoning sessions as well as skill assessment tests right from the first day of college to the time of placement in the final year. The strategic combination of these two departments is the result of the stellar ongoing careers of students today. 

The college has tasted the fruits of its efforts by watching its former students thrive in their respective careers. Even CollegeDunia agrees with those who have complemented ITS Engineering College as an outstanding college. These accolades are a reflection of the ceaseless efforts done by the college to provide the best education to the students in terms of academics, skill training, mentorship, entrepreneurship, and placement. And it will continue to do so for future generations to come.
