How are the placements in IIT Palakkad?

B.Tech from Indian Institute of Technology Palakkad (IIT-PKD) (Graduated 2019)

Despite being a new IIT, IIT Palakkad has great placements for the CSE branch. This year too the branch recorded 100% placements. However the same cannot be said for other branches, especially EE, ME, and Civil. EE is a circuit branch and thus its placement statistics are really poor. IIT Palakkad placement 2023 is still going on and the placement percentage has reached 90.28% as of now. 130 out of 144 students have been placed.

IIT Palakkad's highest package of INR 46.16 LPA was received by the CSE branch and the Mechanical Engineering branch. The average package stood at INR 13.93 LPA and the median package at INR 11.50 LPA.

Why is IIT Pallakkad getting ahead of other new IITs?

KD
Koyel Das Posted On : July 15th, 2023
B.Tech from Indian Institute of Technology Palakkad (IIT-PKD) (Graduated 2019)

Both institutes are relatively new and enjoy a similar status and brand value in the education world. IIT Palakkad is a new IIT while IIT Dhanbad although an old institution has recently been given the IIT title. So that leaves us with preference as the major factor in determining which institute is the right one for you.

MNC is a blend of both Math and Computing concepts and is often very rigorous. The mathematical proofs and theorems form a major part of the curriculum and CS comprises just a minor portion of it. Unless you are a math lover or are genuinely interested in it, this branch might be very challenging for you as the concepts are very advanced and nothing like what you studied before. CSE on the other hand is an evergreen branch with broad prospects. 

Moreover, the faculty of IIT Palakkad are from IITM also thus improving the quality of education offered. The infrastructure is excellent with great accommodation facilities.
