What does happen When It Comes to You !!!

I have enjoyed writing about the rankings and placement of engineering colleges of India . But never wondered ,What does happen when it comes to you ?? Its not a comical post but rather a serious one. Till now I have presented all the results with the prospective of a College and not an Individual . But , finally all things boil down to an Individual . In this post i am not presenting any fact about placements stuff . But, i am presenting the true feelings of a person who is going to face the phase of life when he would be sitting for placement in his campus . At this path of life i wonder that Does he care about the average package of his college ?? , Does he care about the numbers of Jobs offered in his college?? , until or unless he is not satisfied.

Until Few Months back whenever someone used to brag about the splendid placement of my college , i used to feel elated and revered . I used to believe everything good he's saying ,even though i knew that he was exaggerating . My feelings had same apparition as discern by a person who recently got placed . Please don't consider me a braggart but I had a positive attitude for even the worst things of my college . I never saw any fault in them . We used to praise people who outmaneuvered others in placement , but never uttered anything for the few improbable happenings .

But now as it has come to me , i neither feel scared nor enthusiastic . I just have curiosity . I don't know whether there will be scorn or reverence . I don't know whether there will be deafening silence or enthusiasm . I don't know whether there will be lampooning or compliments . I don't know whether I will be remembered or forgotten . I don't know whether there will be devolution or coronation . I don't know whether i will taste the wine of getting placed or not. I don't know whether it will satisfy me or not . But thing i do know is that It won't be same again . I wouldn't be talking and writing about the colleges and placements again as the way i do.

Just like a normal human being i await the advent of "Dream , come true day" when I will get satisfactory placed on campus . Its not just about getting placed , your whole wonderful life at your wonderful campus depends on a single thread . Its about ending a beautiful story with a beautiful end . Now , I realized that a slight change in perception brings a colossal change in the meaning . I wish all the people who are going to face placement in the campus that " You get whatever you dreamt off to put your beautiful story to a beautiful end . Best of luck !!

Placement analysis of IIT Roorkee

Today I will be reviewing the placement of IIT-Roorkee. As we all know it stands among one of the prominent engineering colleges of India. It is among the oldest colleges of India too. It is famous for its civil engineering. The placement statistics which I am going to present is not recent. They belong to the placement of year 2007-08.

The average placement of IIT Roorkee in 2007-08 was 5.5 lpa, which is quite fascinating with some outstanding placement in non circuit branches like mechanical, civil etc. Although IIT Roorkee is located at a remote location its placement details show no defects at all. This shows the hard work of the Placement division of IIT Roorkee and capability, intelligence of the students pursuing degree in this college. Recently a rumor was heard that IIT Roorkee is opening a new placement cell in Delhi. If this rumor is correct than it will further improve the condition of placement in IIT Roorkee and will place its position among the top engineering colleges of India in terms of placement.

Recession : Job or No Job !!

1. IT firms go slow on campus hiring - telugutimes

2. Economic slowdown forces Wipro to put cap on campus recruitment
-webindia

These news clearly indicates the effect of recession on the recruitment of students during campus placement. Now I will like to describe that actually what is recession ?? and How is it being related to placement in engineering colleges .

What is Recession ??

Recession means a temporary decline in the economic prosperity or economy. It is basically a fall of economy and decline in the economic condition for a small period of time . Our world is currently living in the verge of a great economic downfall or we can even consider it as a crises . It has basically effected nearly all the sectors of economy , but majorly it has effected Banking sector .

Reason for recession ..

It wasn't just a day mistake which has just put us in front of this huge problem .Let me explain you what i read and understood. Few years ago US economy was increasing at a very faster rate and there was huge boom in real state and housing sector. Since rate was really high it was difficult for a common person to buy an asset for him . So, US lending institutions and mortgage firms came with a new solution of giving loans to non- potential buyers to purchase these asset with a interest rate double than what usually being taken from a potential buyer .

So, gradually a huge money got involved in this business as the profit was huge . Finally non - potential buyers were unable to pay the bills and they became the lost entity of the lending institution , they recovered the asset but no one was buying them and finally situation of bankruptcy prevailed in these organization . As these institution is basic structure for nearly all the sectors a state of recession developed in whole US and Europe and gradually reached to Asian countries .

Effect of Recession on Placement in Indian Engineering colleges

Now if we think about the placement scenario of Indian Engineering colleges we should look at recession according to India's prospective . Since very few Indian banks or organization were involved in this type of practice so in this prospective , recession does not have much effect on Indian economy . But since Indian IT sector is partially being flourished by US economy and lending institution , we can't neglect it's devastating effect on Indian IT sector .

The effect is clear as top hiring IT companies has clearly stated that they will go slow on campus hiring. Most likely every college would see a decline in there placement this year. IIT's has already hit the blow and IIT Pawai has recorded only 53 % Placement this year , but yeah the fact is that actually many people opted for higher studies rather than doing a job during recession.

So , Conclusion is this that even people would be getting placed during campus placement there will be a huge decline qualitatively as well as quantitatively . People should try some new options or new tactics which they have presently in this tough time . People can either go for Higher studies like MBA , MS form foreign studies , but the scholarship amount has also been reduced since the time of recession in US based Universities . People can go for their own start-ups or anything like this . But the fact is that if you get a job now, even it is below your standard , don't loose it , because as recession is a temporary condition you would be much better than the people who are not opting for job , after this temporary time get over if you would be continuing the job till that time . According to the news since Indian government and even US government is trying to raise the conditions of the financial institutions or organization, this time won't last for much . I am hoping that this time soon get over so that we can again see the flourishing economic time and better placement.

Placement statistics of NSIT- Delhi

Netaji Subash Institute of technology (NSIT) is located in outer area of Western Delhi. It established in 1983 as a Delhi Institute of technology at kashmere gate.It was renamed as Netaji Subash Institute of Technology in 1997 and got shifted to new campus Dwarkain in 1998. The college has an intake of 420 students. It has got five discipline groups ----

1. Electronics and Communication Engg.
   
2. Computer Engg.
   
3. Instrumentation and control Engg.
   
4. Manufacturing Processes & automation engg.
   
5. Information Technology
   

Recently college is trying to get one more B.E. degree programme i.e. biotechnology . College also has a distinguished Higher degree programmes under following disciplines i.e. Information Systems , signal processing & Process control .

College has distinguished placement record and it's getting an increase in placement year by year. The placement percentage for this year is being shown in table below:-


Now I will be presenting here the list of companies visited for the placement in recent two years and the intake by them . Salary ranges from 2 to 5.50 lac.

The maximum placement for the academic year 2007-08 was 13 lac with an average salary pay of approx 3 lac .The college has got a lot of reputation in Delhi which can be easily seen from the choices of students for the colleges in CEE in recent years .

OUT OF TOP 50 TOPPERS OF CEE
The overall placement of college can be considered as satisfactory . But , As the location of college is highly favorable for the placement , it has not shown any output like which can be termed as "Awesome ". But , it's a new college and it will gain success in recent years . The placement of college will increase in coming time as it's reputation is increasing day by day . So , it's a very good choice for a student who didn't get through IIT's or BITS-Pilani or who is getting a crap branch in these colleges .

Placement analysis of IIT Kanpur

We all consider IIT Kanpur as a dream college for any engineering aspirants in india . A student when decides to prepare for competitive examination of enginnering , he often see his destination as IIT knapur in his dream for future . But , is this great college is doing well in terms of placement too? , probably we can analyse it now . As it was very difficult to get the authorised data of placement record of IIT Kanpur , i won't be able to present all the required essence of placement of IIT Kanpur . I am presenting here the placement data of 2006-07 in IIT Kanpur.


As placement session is held in second semester for all the degrees in IIT Kanpur. Before discussing about the details of the placement . I will present here some salient features about IIT kanpur in the fiels of acadmics.

•  There are five letter grades which have numerical equivalents on 10 point scale.
  

• In addition, there are three letter grades, viz., I, S and X, which stand for Incomplete, Satisfactory and Unsatisfactory, respectively.
  

• Further, for courses with zero weightage only Pass (P) / Fail (F) grades are awarded.
  

• Cumulative Performance Index (CPI): The overall academic performance of a student in all the courses registered up to last
  
• Semester I: From the fourth week of July to the last week of

M.Sc.-Ph.D.(Dual degree): 6.0

Since I was not able to get the information about the average package of IIT kanpur , I will be presenting here only the list of recruiters and percentage of placement according to different no. of branches in the campus.

List of Recruitors in placement year 2006-07 in IIT kanpur :-


Demographic related to the distribution of student in academic year 2006-07 for the placement :-


As there is no enough data on the packages by different companies and the average pay in the campus for the undergraduate placement , it is not possible to compare it's placement with any other college in the list . So , In this srticle I am not talking about it's placement for the session 2007-07 , but i will surely do when i will get the official data . I request all the enthu IIT- K ians to contribute to their college by sending me the actual data on my gmail id shanky19892006@gmail.com.

Placement analysis of IIIT Hyderabad

This post will give you the enhanced detail of the placement IIIT Hyderabad . I can't tell it a proper Engineering College because of unavailability of core branches like mechanical, civil etc. The college is basically concentarte over Information technology . The theme of Institute is research in the field of Computer science or more precisely in the field of Information technology .

Institute has collaboration with many companies like MOTOROLA ,Oracle etc . The placement session continues for both the semester and students sits according to their C.G.P.A. (Cumulative grade point average) in placement starting from people with higher C.G.P.A. . I am presenting here the placement of Institute in the year 2007 updated by the IIIT Hyderabad in their Official site . for more information please visit http://www.iiit.ac.in/placements/placement2008/quickglanceplacement2007_recruiters.php

Placement of IIT Hyderabad refers to the on campus job placement assistance provided to the 2007 graduating batch of undergraduate and postgraduate students. This excludes the statistics relating to the ongoing individualized placement assistance being provided to the postgraduate research students.

Placement season 2007 in IIIT Hyderabad was conducted in 24 days, over six weeks, starting December 3, 2006, mostly on weekends, public holidays, and during winter vacation.

QUICK STATISTICS :

• Number of students that participated in placement - both B Tech and MTech, all disciplines-->> 226

• Number of companies that registered for placement -->> 1

• Number of non IT companies that registered for placement-->> 12

• Number of companies that were provided slots -->> 63

• Number of non IT companies that were provided slots -->> 9

• First time recruiters among the registered -->> 80

• First time recruiters that were provided slots -->> 38³

• Percentage of placement -->> 100%

Views above the placement

If you will clearly see the Placement of IIIT Hyderabad of the year 2007 you will find certain points .The Placement seems to be very good with average pay of 5.27 Lac per annum , But we should not overlook the fact that IIIT Hyderabad only has Information technology field to ponder . These branches are the most demanding field in Engineering . So, inspite of such a high average Placement , it is not satisfactory for IIIT Hydrabad .

But As this was the 5th placement of IIIT Hyderabad the no. of companies visited the campus is quite happening and in the recent years it will touch its zenith. All the brand names were present in the campus ranging from google to De shaw. IIIT Hyderabad has developed itself as a pioneered research institute and its stepping its way forward toward its success to become the best research institute if India . I am hoping that placement will become much better in the recent year and it can be a very good choice after IITs. But It has miles to cover to reach the level of IITs.

Placement analysis of IIT - Guwahati

Now I will present here the list of IIT -Guwahati [Indian Institute of Technology - Guwahati). IIT's are always considered as the most prestigious institutes in INDIA . One of the reason behind this is the unmatchable placement statistics of their campuses situated all over in the country . As IIT- Guwahati is not that good big name in the history of IIT's but it denies all these stories by it's amazing placement . I am presenting here the placement statistics of academic year of 2006-07 .

Key Statistics :-

• No. of students registered for placement (BTech+BDes+MTech) : 342

• Number of students placed (BTech+BDes+MTech) : 315

• Highest package (Rs. in Lacs per annum) BTech: 32.27 MTech: 11.39

• Average package(Rs. In Lacs per annum) BTech+BDes: 6.16 MTech: 5.11

• Participating Companies : 78

SALARY OFFERED 2006-07 AVERAGE PACKAGE BRANCH WISE



CSE - (Computer science Engineering ) ; ME - (Mechanical Engineering)
ECE - (Electrical and Communication Engineering) ; CE -(Civil Engineering)
BT - (Biotechnology) ; CL -(Chemical engineering); DD:- (Design)

for more information please visit http://www.iitg.ernet.in/placement/

I will suggest only one word for this type of aggressive placement i.e. AWESOME . The average package is very good for all type of the branches . The total companies visited to campus wasn't much satisfactory but the companies were present from all sector of industries . All types of Big Names are there . IIT - Guwahati has proved that why it has been a given a tag of IIT or vice versa . People often consider that IIT -Guwahati is far behind than other IIT's but the Placement record has completely deny this fact . Now , In the next post I will come with A new Indian Engineering Institute . Hoping that these facts will solve your problem for selecting Engineering college and respective branch of interest after secondary education.

Placement analysis of NIT Jaipur

Now I am going to present here the placement statistics of NIT Jaipur commonly known as " Malviya National Institute of Technology " for the year 2006-07 . Institute has uploaded the placement statistics of the year 2006-07. Since they have placement session throughout the Year . So, It won't be good if I present the placement statistics of 2007-08 as they won't be the total placement of that year.

PLACEMENT STATISTICS : Malviya National Institute of Technology

for more detailed analysis please visit the site :- http://www.mnit.ac.in/placement/

After Detailed analysis of the Placement statistics of NIT - Jaipur of the year 2006-07 . I came up with some points in my mind. If you will see the average placement i.e. is 3.34 lacs per annum which is more than decent even though college is not counted as the top ten Institute of Engineering of India is able to attract the companies from all sectors of industry. All the Big companies are present in the pool of placement of NIT - Jaipur except few . But the main weak point is that the majority of the student are being placed in the group of either 1.8- 2.4 lacs per annum or 2.4 - 3.5 lacs per annum . There are less than 25 students who got the package of more than 5 lacs per annum . Some of the big names of IT sectore like ADOBE , GOLDMAN SACS , YAHOO etc. are also not there in Pool . Overall Placement was good and according to NIT - jaipur this is the best placement which they had in recent years .

Placement statistics of main Engineering colleges of INDIA

When i completed writing my second post on the topic Engineering college rankings , a sudden thought came to my mind that what if i provide all the relevant data about a particular college and then make you to choose the best one . so, I decided to start it with the college placement . But As it is difficult to get the placement data directly of some college i will upload the data as soon as i will get it . Now i want to start it with

DCE (Delhi College Of Engineering)

DCE has updated the placement of year 2008 .For the viewers knowledge DCE has only limited number of branches in the college . The branches which are present in DCE are --

• CIVIL ENGINEERING
• ELECTRICAL ENGINEERING
  
• COMPUTER ENGINEERING
  
• INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY
• ELECTRONICS & COMMUNICATION ENGINEERING
• MECHANICAL ENGINEERING
• PRODUCTION ENGINEERING
• POLYMER TECHNOLOGY
• BIOTECNNOLOGY
  

TOTAL NO. OF STUDENT GOT PLACED----- 650
NO. OF B.E. STUDENTS ------------------------599
NO OF M.E. STUDENTS --------------------------51





TOTAL NO. OF COMPANIES VISITED SO FAR --66
AVERAGE PLACEMENT ---------------- approx 4 lacs per annum

***(just click on the picture to see the full view)***

• HIGHEST PACKAGE --------------10.89 lacs per annum offered by YAHOO
• MAJOR ATTRACTIONs -----------YAHOO , CISCO SYSTEMS, NVIDIA etc.
  

for more information please visit the page http://dce.ac.in/placements/placement.php
---------------Overall placement is quite good . Good number of core companies for each and every branch came for the campus placement . But , The number of companies visited for campus placement is not satisfactory. Even though average placement is good but the big name like GOOGLE , ORACLE , ADOBE etc. are not present in the placement cart.
-------------According to me ,Since there are very few engineering branches in the DCE instead of any other engineering college (no presence of science related branches etc.), DCE has got a edge against other engineering colleges in the form of more average placement . The geographical location of college is also quite good as present in CAPITAL OF INDIA , so there should be more bunch of companies present in the placement cart of the college.
I will start with a other colleges in my next post, till than keep posting comments & suggestion to improve my posting .

**I am very thankful to an unknown guy for giving me the updates of DCE placements on the comments and updating my blog according to new information. Updated information are kept in red color.**
