My sister was a student of the Energy Engineering branch at NIT Trichy and is currently working for Robert Bosch. Her batch was placed decently and she claims that most students with a Mechanical and Electrical background got good job offers. Is the chemical and biotechnology students that suffered the most. For them, it’s better to pursue research than look for a job. 

In 2018, her entire batch of 11 students was placed mainly because all the students were from the Electrical or Mechanical branch. 

So we can say that the placement scenario of Energy Engineering at NIT Trichy is decent and the job opportunities depend on your profile and background.

Some key highlights of the placements for Energy Studies at IIT Delhi are

• Top companies that have ties with IIT Delhi for placements are GE Power, Sterling Power, John Deere, ABB India, Deloitte India, Applied Materials, and Renault-Nissan. 
• Most students who had average or above-average academic profiles were able to get a good role
• Most of the students chase placements only and have no interest in acquiring knowledge and skills. So try not to adopt such a mindset and invest maximum efforts to reap benefits.
• Always be ready to work hard and face challenges. You will face tough competition as you will be dealing with geniuses of the country so prepare yourself for the same.
• Be open to multitasking or else you won’t be able to survive long. I know a friend who was a T&P coordinator who would do his joint project during the day and study for his additional course during the night. 
• Make sure you start your project way before others 

I will strongly recommend not joining IIT if your goal is to prepare for GATE or IES as you will be stealing someone else’s seat unnecessarily.
