The placements of IIIT Una have improved this year as compared to last year. Training and placement cell is working really hard to improve it and as mentioned on the official site there is 100% placement this year and this is really good.

• The average package is not declared yet officially but the highest package was 13.6 LPA .
• Off-campus placement is good too and the highest package off-campus is about 60 LPA. And the placement will increase exponentially in the coming years.

Since this year the college will be shifting to Una campus there will be better connectivity to train and ease of commuting which can help companies to visit frequently.

If you are thinking of joining IIIT Una that means your JEE rank is something like either you can opt for newer IIITs with higher branches or can opt for lower branches in NITs. My friend was stuck in the same dilemma but after coming to IIIT Una she realized that it was the best decision that she didn’t compromise branch for college.

Pros of joining IIIT Una:

• You will get the latest curriculum which is far better than NIT’s. You can check the curriculum on its official website
• You will see that there is more emphasis on practical knowledge which is a huge plus point. And, from this year onwards they will be having the concept of relative marking just like IIT. The practical course constitutes a minor project work based on the concurrently studied theory in that semester.
• Your 6th semester will be purely dedicated to internships so that you can have industrial exposure.
• You will get an amazing coding culture and helpful seniors too.

Lastly, if you want to opt for an institute of national importance with this JEE rank, then IIIT Una is really a good option. Do not go for lower branches of NIT or any other private colleges.

There is no surety that you will be placed in a good company. It only depends upon your capability and your hard work. You will have to look for the companies and talk to the placement department as well. 

If you are only concerned about placements then you should opt for IIIT Guwahati. This institute offers a rich coding environment. Their first-year students won a robotics competition organized by IIIT Guwahati. The faculty members of this institute are supportive and they will encourage you to participate in various competitions.

IIIT Una is a new institute when compared to other institutes. However, if you have started competitive coding, then it’s a plus point. To ace the placements, you must become the best in coding.

I have a friend who is an alumnus of IIIT Una and here is what he had to say about the placements.

IIIT Una started from NIT Hamirpur campus as its temporary campus and its first batch graduated in the year 2018 only. This first batch faced a lot of difficulties because even though they were treated equally with the NIT Hamirpur’s students for the four years academically, during the placements most of the companies did not allow IIIT Una students to appear for the placement process.

Even the placements were handled by NIT Hamirpur as IIIT Una did not have its own placement committee. But the companies were hesitant to recruit IIIT Una’s students. Many companies did not have IIIT Una in their list of colleges to visit as they have a strict pre-defined policy for the same. So most of the companies were out of bounds for IIIT Una students. However, there were some companies who did allow them and the students grabbed the opportunities.

Next year onwards, IIIT Una build its own placement committee and became independent from NIT Hamirpur for placements. So expectedly they are better than before.
