BIT Mesra Placements 2022: Average Package: INR 13.01 LPA & Highest Package: INR 58.33 LPA

BIT Mesra offers 2 undergraduate and 1 postgraduate program in chemical engineering; BE in Chemical Engineering, BE in Chemical Engineering (Plastics and Polymer), and ME in Chemical Engineering.

• If we look at the overall chemical engineering ecosystem in India, it is not very good. There are very few private chemical companies in India. 
• The curriculum of the programs is very old and has not been updated to meet the 21st-century demands. 
• Thus the engineers being produced by the colleges in India are also below par. 
• Close to 95% of the chemical engineering graduates from tier-3 engineering colleges work in service companies with an annual salary of 2-3 lakhs. 

The recent placement statistics for Chemical Engineering at the institute are as follows.

Hope this gives you an idea about the course.

To some extent, yes, the placements of BIT extension campuses centralized at BIT Mesra. BIT extension campus students are permitted to sit only for a limited number of companies; recruiters such as Cognizant, TCS, Infosys, to name a few. Other big firms like Goldman Sachs, Amazon, Caterpillar tend to interview only the top 5 students (top CGPA holders) from the concerned branch in each campus are allowed.

Apart from this, extension centers are free to invite recruiting companies to their respective campuses for placement drives. For instance, in the past, MU Sigma and Tata Motors conducted a pooled placement for BIT Patna, IIT Patna, NIT Patna. 

If you are someone who is successful in attaining a 9 pointer throughout your course duration, you have made impressive and exciting projects and conducted research for the same, you certainly stand a good enough chance to be equivalent to all other students at Mesra when it comes to your placement.

It is not easy to explicitly mention the average package of the CSE branch because the institute does not provide the placement report which mentions the average package of every branch. However, I will try to help you out with my little knowledge about it.

Among the colleges mentioned, the major competition lies between BIT Mesra and IIIT Lucknow. However, this can be compared and proved by the kind of students that take admission in those two colleges in comparison to LNMIIT.

There are a couple of things you could do after getting placed in BIT Mesra. First of all they can enhance their coding and technical skills, because these are valued by every top recruiting company. Do not slag, because laziness will definitely drag you down and that may affect your overall preparation.

Do not stay up all night, losing sleep will surely make you unhealthy and create a bad habit overall. Instead workout, go to the gym, play outdoor games and keep yourselves active. 

The final projects need more dedication and preparation, because these will serve as a strong point in your portfolio, which will be later analyzed by the recruiters. So, improvement of the final project is of utmost importance. Do not keep it incomplete till the last minute, it will only put pressure on your overall performance.
