How well would a 7 pointer in IIIT Allahabad get placed?
It's difficult to predict exactly how well a student with a 7 pointer in IIIT Allahabad would get placed, as there are many factors that can affect placement opportunities. However, here are some things to keep in mind:
- Grades are not the only factor that employers consider when hiring. While having good grades can be helpful, employers also consider factors such as internships, projects, skills, and extracurricular activities when evaluating candidates.
- IIIT Allahabad is a well-regarded institution, and its graduates are highly sought after by many top companies. However, competition for jobs can be fierce, especially in popular fields like computer science.
- The job market can be unpredictable and can fluctuate from year to year, depending on a variety of factors such as the state of the economy and industry trends.
That being said, a 7 pointer is a decent grade, and many students with similar grades have been successful in securing good jobs after graduation. However, it's important to remember that grades are just one piece of the puzzle, and students should focus on developing their skills and gaining practical experience through internships, projects, and other opportunities. Additionally, networking and building relationships with professionals in the field can also be helpful in securing job opportunities.

What is the placement scene at DTU civil engineering?
DTU Civil Engineering is one of the highly regarded civil departments in India with decent placements and opportunities. Here are a few points that will convince you further to join this branch
- DTU Civil Engineering has a relatively easier syllabus in comparison to other branches. You can maintain a high CGPA and even make it into IIMs. You will also have better opportunities than students in non-core companies.
- The light syllabus gives you enough time to prepare for IES/GATE examination and secure excellent government jobs.
- Civil Engineering at DTU has decent placements and this year the average package offered was INR 8.845 LPA. If you have a decent CGPA and communication skills, you can easily secure a package in the range of 5-7 lakhs.
- Among other future aspects of this program, you can also pursue MS from Stanford as there is very less competition compared to computer science.
- Although your package will be inferior to CS students, a government job in civil engineering offers you a comfortable and contented life,
Please note that DTU has no branch change policy so choose Civil Engineering only if you are genuinely interested in it.
How is the IT branch at IIEST Shibpur? How are the faculty and placements related to IT branch? Is it comparable to CSE here?
IT at IIEST Shibpur can be good but you need to utilize the opportunities you get properly. The infrastructure at the institute is good. Microsoft also recruits students from campus placements. In the past students have bagged good internship opportunities. One of the students was accepted for Google California (Internship). Compared to the CSE, the IT branch is a little behind in terms of salary packages offered. However, this branch has good diversity.
Faculties for CSE and IT branches are comparable and the IT department even has better faculty members for a few of the subjects. The main difference between CSE and IT is that IT is a sandwich branch of CST and Electronics. So, naturally, you will need to study some Electronics subjects too. For Communication Systems, the IT branch does not have decent faculties. Adding to that, the subject is also not that useful for the future. Despite that this subject eats a chunk of the time of IT students.
Another difference is CST introduces important subjects like algorithms in the 2nd year itself. Whereas, IT introduces these topics one year later.
Basically, the essence is the same for the two branches, there are some minor differences in curriculum and lab work. How you do in placements depends on your hard work.
Are the placements in NIT Trichy getting worse compared to the previous years?
Whether the placements are improving or getting worse depends on the branch you are referring to. In the case of CSE, placements can be seen improving every year due to increasing demand in the market whereas placements of other core branches are deteriorating every year. However, this scenario is similar not only in the case of NIT Trichy but even in other IITs.
Students of core branches either
- Pursue MBA or MTech after BTech to get placed better in the core sector
- Start learning coding skills and sit for average IT companies
So, it’s better to sum for a better branch rather than blaming the institute. Some might deceive you into believing that the tag of the college matters more than anything. But in reality, it all depends on the branch you choose. Sometimes the JEE coaching centers promote IITs to a large extent that people tend to go for an under-average branch just for the IIT tag. I warn you against this as your career depends on your branch.
Generalizing the issue, if you happen to have a choice between lower branches at top engineering colleges like new IITs, NITs and higher branches in tier-1 colleges like BITS, CEG, and NSIT, I will say go for the latter.
