How good is the placement of the MCA at Thapar University?
One of my friends studied at Thapar University. According to him, pursuing MCA at Thapar might not be a good choice. This is because a B.Tech in CSE graduate is always preferred over an MCA degree.
- During placement interviews, the panelists will see in your resume that you have a BCA or B.Sc. degree in CSE.
- Due to this, most of them assume that you didn't get an opportunity to study B.Tech so you chose BCA.
- They tend to lean on B.Tech graduates, as they will help maintain the reputation of the firm.
- The thing you can do after BCA is to get a lateral entry and obtain a diploma in CSE.
- After that, you can try to take admission in the 2nd year of the B.Tech program at Thapar.
- This will help you secure a better job opportunity than an MCA degree.
- An MCA degree from Thapar will get you a salary package of 5-10 LPA.
- A B.Tech degree will get you a 15-25 LPA salary package.
| Category | MCA at Thapar University |
| Total Fee | 3.89 lakh |
| Companies Visited | Tech Mahindra, Infosys, ZS Associates, Byju’s, etc. |
| Highest Package | 23 LPA |
| Average Package | 5-10 LPA |
MCA at Thapar is way better than many other colleges like CGC Landran, Chandigarh University, etc. But it is important to remember that the recruiter at any IT company will always differentiate between an MCA graduate and a B.Tech CS graduate.
What are the placement opportunities after earning Master from IIT Bombay in civil engineering?
IIT Bombay Civil Engineering branch is well known for its programs like Master, Dual Degrees, and BTech. Candidates with good profiles have a wide range of opportunities. BTech students are preferred for Non-core jobs whereas MTech students are preferred for MTech students.
Some jobs offered to students belonging to the Civil Engineering branch at IIT Bombay are
- Structural Designer: Top companies like Dar Al, Walter P Moore, and Thornton Tomasetti offer this role. Around 1 to 4 students are hired for such roles by each company. The most important criteria are CPI and your proficiency in software.
- Site Engineer: These roles are offered by companies like SP group, and LnT Look. You are tested usually on the basics of civil engineering and your ability to give long-term commitment.
- Management Trainee: Many civil companies offer management profiles also. Students with extracurricular backgrounds with reasonable academics are usually preferred for such roles. Some companies from the Middle East also offer such profiles.
- Teaching: In the last few years many private universities hire Masters's students directly for Assistant Professor posts. They are required to start their Ph.D. in less than a year.
- Other Sub branches: Companies for water resources, Geo-tech, and Surveying offer very few roles. A few companies such as Dar Al open these profiles too.
- Non-Core Companies: Companies in the fields of investments, analytics, Banking, etc either don't open for M.Tech students or are not short-listed for interview.
100% placement at IIT Bombay is just a myth and you have to work hard to secure a job.
At the time of campus placement of MCA at NIT Trichy, are companies checked in the 12th percentage also?
It's the case not just at NITT, but everywhere. It entirely depends on the visiting firm and whether they value your school percentages.
The placement cell will have all of your information entered into their placement portal, and they will be aware of everything, so if you give the firm an erroneous résumé, whether intentionally or unintentionally, they will be notified. Because there are so many students, your college will try to set minimum eligibility standards for them by requesting or something similar.
To make things clearer, I'll give you an example.
- Let's say Amazon Cloud is on the way, they've left the pointer criteria at 6, with no criteria in the 10+2 range.
- Deloitte arrives on the second day and demands 60+ in 10+2+3.You won't be able to do anything because Deloitte does it all throughout India. Colleges don't matter as per their rules.
However, if a random startup comes along and offers a nice, attractive package and has policy rules similar to the ones listed above. But the placement cell can request them to ease the criteria if students have low scores. It now hinges on the company's reputation. It is applicable to every institute.
What is the average package of ECE at IIT Roorkee?
Being one of the oldest and top IITs, IIT Roorkee boasts an excellent placement scenario with many top companies visiting the campus.

What are placement opportunities for students pursuing an M.Tech in mechanical engineering from IISC, Bangalore?
Well honestly, once you are in the grasp of the IISc magic, you will forget about placements, and your hunger for higher studies and research will grow instead. The intense workload and the dynamic research environment will bring you close to some of the geniuses who may be pursuing a Ph.D., UG, or master's. Interacting with them will make you realize that higher studies are a better option. Some who go for jobs anyway, come back to get a PhD sometime later. This is what the IISc effect is after all.
As for the IISC placements for MTech Mechanical Engineering, students receive a minimum of 8 LPA packages with no limit on top packages varying from 15-25 LPA CTC. The major recruiters include companies like TATA motors, TATA steel, TCS research, Mahindra motors, Philips, Airbus, General Electric, Rolls Royce, TATA advanced system, PTC, L&T, and other design, manufacturing, and petroleum companies. The best part is that students of this branch can sit for placements in companies of Aerospace, Civil, Chemical, and Material Engineering as well.
In all placements at IISc won't be an issue for either branch yet I will say again, judging a research-oriented institute like IISc on the basis of placements is not justified.

How does it feel to sit for campus placements in NIT Warangal ?
Like most engineering institutes, placements at NIT Warangal are broadly categorized to CS and Non CS placements. Currently, the huge batch size has made placements a more competitive sport. Students go through a number of emotions before sitting for placements. Most students are able to secure good packages and jobs given the fact that NIT Warangal admits the best minds of the country.
The placement process is complex and students have to go through a number of screening processes from Aptitude Test, Coding Test, Group Discussions, and several peer-to-peers interview sessions with company employees to the HR round. Every round evaluates you from a different angle to ensure thorough screening of the students.
Placements in NIT Warangal commence from mid-July. The first day is the most nerve-wracking experience for the students and their anxiety levels are high. Those who are able to manage the stress and perform excellently, end up with a good package and the celebration begins. Those who fail, feel embarrassed to face their peers. The companies keep visiting every alternate day in the first month so if you don't get selected, don't lose hope.
How is the placement of metallurgy in IIT BHU, Varanasi?
The placement scenario of IIT-BHU metallurgical engineering is not as good as other branches but this is improving every year. More companies like Tata Steel, Tata Motors, and Saint Gobain are coming with job offers for B.Tech, IDD, and M.Tech students. The chances of getting placed are more for a B.Tech student than for an M.Tech student.
-
In the year 2016, 52 B.Tech, 16 IDD, and 10 M.Tech students registered for placement out of which 36 B.Tech, 11 IDD, and 1 M.Tech student secured jobs. The highest CTC was 13 LPA, the lowest CTC was 5 LPA and the average CTC was 7.78 LPA. These statistics have improved in successive years.
-
In the year 2019, 44 out of 47 registered students got placed and the average CTC was 9.67 LPA. This clearly shows that the percentage of students getting placed and the average package amount has improved over the years.
Moreover, not all students register for placement rather they prepare for other entrance examinations like CAT, GATE, GRE, UPSC, etc. The chances of clearing these entrance examinations are higher here than other IITs because one gets more free time in IIT-BHU and can spend more time in personal development. This will help them in grabbing good jobs even without registering for placements.
Some non-core companies also present job offers that are open to all branches. These recruiters only look for a particular set of skills that one can acquire through online courses in their free time. Thus there are many opportunities for the students and it depends on the student how he/she grabs the opportunity
