What is the importance of a CGPA for a B.Tech (CSE) student to get a good campus placement at Nit Warangal?
I have said this many times and will say it again, one should never underestimate the value a CGPA holds in shaping your career. Don’t fall for the trap ‘Grades don’t Matter’ because they do and to a great extent. This can be further understood through the following anecdote that revolves around two of my closest friends.
Both of them were CSE students at NIT Rourkela. Both were regular in their classes and completed their assignments on time. However, by the end of the 3rd year, one friend scored a CGPA of 6.90 while the other ended up getting a 7.05 CGPA .
During the placements, most top companies like Microsoft, Uber, De-shaw, Arcesium, Visa, and Samsung set their cutoffs to 7 CGPA. Students who did not qualify for this weren’t eligible to sit for their placements. The friend with the higher CGPA appeared in the interview for several companies and ended up with a good role and package while the other friend with slightly less but below 7 CGP could not even sit for their placements. Eventually, he got placed in an average company with a low package.
The core lesson from this anecdote is that CGPA matters a lot during placements, especially for the best companies. Hope my answer clarified the importance of a CGPA for a BTech in CSE student at NIT Warangal.
How is the placement package for M.Tech students from IISC, Bangalore?
IISc Bangalore is famous for its research-oriented environment. Earlier it focused only on academic research. But in recent years, it has also started giving attention to industry placements.
Most of the reputed companies that visit IITs and BITs, also come to IISc for placements. All the IISc students end up with good packages, irrespective of their course/branch. The median CTC for IISc students was 28 LPA during 2023 placements. The placement process of IISc starts before the IITs, which is a great advantage for its students.
The MTech placements are good enough at IISc. But its grading system is very tough. You’ll have to work hard to maintain a good GPA over there. With a top GPA, you can expect at least 10 LPA as your placement package at IISc. This is applicable for all branches- CSA, SERC, DESE, ECE and EE.

How good are the placements at Cluster Innovation Center DU?
As much as I could gather information from a friend studying in Cluster Innovation Center, it is apparent that the on-campus placement cell is not effective enough to get every student placed in a good company with a better salary. The administration does not invite enough companies. The faculty emphasizes innovation over students chasing after corporate careers. Thus, the placement rates on campus are low.
CIC, however, offers two potential advantages. Its large batch sizes and robust network. According to government norms and regulations, there are only 40 students permitted into it. Therefore, everyone is engaged in useful endeavors. This college's alumni are forming a powerful network. The majority of them have good jobs or are enrolled in college. Students have achieved success in math, management studies, coding, and even in starting respectable businesses of their own. Few students succeed in GSoC each year.

How is the MA in psychology distance course at IGNOU? What are the job prospects of it compared to a regular distance course?
Admission is available in two sessions: July and January. The university supplies the study material, which is fine. It follows a year system, with 7 courses (6 theory and 1 practical) in the first year and 6 in the second year (3 theory, 1 practical, 1 internship requiring at least 240 hours total, and 1 project/research (can only be done if you pass the Research Methodology and Statistics subjects in the first year)). There are three optional courses to choose from in the second year of IGNOU's MA in Psychology.
- Clinical psychiatry
- Psychology of counseling
- Psychology in the workplace
Each has different job prospects, and it is believed you will be familiar with them because it is clear from their names what fields they represent. The procedure is extremely simple. Obtain admission, complete assignments, and register for the exam at the desired exam center. After passing the exams, which can take between three and six years. Following that, you will be given a mark sheet and a provisional certificate. To obtain an original degree, you must wait at least six to twelve months for the convocation to be held by IGNOU, and you must pay a nominal fee of Rs 600-900 for registration and certificate.
If you are unable to attend the convocation, your certificate will be mailed to your home address. However, the practicals and viva-voce are an exception because some of the exams were conducted recently (depending on the Regional/Study center). It is acceptable in the first year, but if it occurs in the second year, it may cause a hindrance for higher education because the certificates may not be available at the right time for seeking admission, (seems IGNOU is nowadays quickly distributing the provisional and statement of marks. The good news is that you will receive it directly to your home via post after completing the course). The learner must submit assignments for all theory papers, and writing them will take a lot of time, but it will be beneficial for a passionate learner of psychology.
If you want to pursue this MA in Psychology from IGNOU, you must fully commit to this course because the field of psychology is vast. So working while pursuing this course may not be the best option because it may require 3 months of internship, pure research work, and an ocean of writing work.
Regarding the job prospects, as a student of the specific course, you hope to win the UGC NET/JRF and continue your education to become a lecturer. If I get the JRF, I plan to pursue an M Phil in Clinical Psychology and become a licensed clinical practitioner in the mental health field.
How does NIT Trichy have 95% placement? Even IITs don't have that much?
The reason why NITs unlike other institutions are having more placements in comparison to IIT’s is due to their quality of students has increased in the market.
- NIT has rich Research and development equipment and these things allow the recruiters to hire more candidates. But it cannot be said that IIT students have fewer placements than NIT.
- Another reason for good placements at NIT Trichy is because of its location as it is nearer to Bangalore and Chennai and companies find it convenient to visit here.
- It also depends upon the placement service of NIT. NIT Trichy also screens its candidates before sending them for campus placements.
- Those sitting for their placements have to undergo placement exams in their third year. These exams are conducted by the final year students of your respective branch. Those who get 60% or above 60% in their placement exams are allowed to appear in the campus placements.
One of my friends suggested that computer science students get much better placements in comparison to other branches. The average package is INR 6lacs per annum and the highest package to date is 90 lacs per annum.
