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.

BITS, Pilani - Hyderabad Campus

The much awaited BITS -Pilani Hyderabad Campus started it's journey in the academic year 2008-09 . This campus will be another milestone in the glorious history of BITS-Pilani's Campuses . But still people have doubt about it's present condition in the field of Engineering colleges . It's not a inch back from other BITS -Pilani 's Campuses in field of Facilities , Professors etc. But Obviously experience is the thing which does matter in this field . It's like a small child waving it's hand and showing presence to everybody . In future it will surely gloom as a beautiful flower and will spread it's fragrance in the field of Enginnering . So, now let's don't go deep to the philosophical discussion of college and i should put down the real condition of the college .

Geographical background
The institute has acquired a land of 200 acres in Jawahar Nagar, Shameerpet Mandal from the Government of Andhra Pradesh through HUDA. This Campus in planned with an outlay of about Rs. 270 crores . Now I will say that this is a huge money but compared to research facilities needed to run a pioneer engineering college . But as a startup part it can be considered as a very good amount .

Education Process
The Institute operates its education programmes at three tiers of education, namely, the Integrated First Degree programmes, Higher Degree programmes and the Doctoral programmes.

Integrated First Degree Programmes
The Integrated First Degree Programmes are offered at the first tier with nomenclatures like B.E. (Hons.), M.Sc. (Hons.), and M.Sc. (Tech.). The se are all level wise equivalent degrees.

These are called integrated degrees for two reasons
1. There are several common courses amongst these degrees
2. No intermediate degrees, like B.Sc., B.Sc.(Hons.), B.A., B.A.(Hons.), etc. are awarded. These degrees are based on a modular structure and their academic requirements are spelt out in respect of the number of courses and units rather than the number of years.

All these programmes are structured in such a way that normally a student will be able to finish a programme in eight semesters. Of course, the flexibility of the Institute allows a student to do his programme at a faster pace and finish it earlier than 8 semesters or at a slower pace to finish it alter than 8 semesters.

All programmes offered at BITS, Pilani-Hyderabad are split into three groups as follows:

Group A (Engineering)
Chemical Engineering
Mechanical Engineering
Electrical and Electronics Engineering
Electrical and Communications Engineering
Computer Science
Civil Engineering
B. Pharmacy

Group B (Sciences)
Biological Sciences
Chemistry
Economics
Mathematics
Physics

Group C (M.Sc. Tech)
Information Systems

The Entrance Exam for BITS - Pilani Hyderabad Campus is also BITSAT . People are selected for these colleges according to preferences and their respective BITSAT score . In case of any doubt about the entrance exam or selection please mail me @ shanky19892006@gmail.com

What makes you an IITian ??

Today when a student thinks of his carrier in the field of engineering, he suddenly develops a dream of becoming an IIT Engineer. It was foretold that by some of my elders that for getting admission in IIT’s you really need to be intelligent. But with new complete fee structure and government policy of caste discrimination this proverb is loosing its value.

If today young aspirants will ask me about the admission in IIT’s, I will simply reply him back that you require two things for becoming an IIT Engineer.

1. 1. You should have a real conceptual mind (or you can develop them in new trends higher secondary school i.e. deemed Coaching Institutes).

2. 2. Your Father’s pocket should be full of cash (a turning point for becoming an IIT Engineer).

Today when any student starts his preparation for JEE, the most important step is

· Selection of Coaching

Due to recent change in the examination pattern of JEE, it has become important even for a real intelligent person to join coaching for JEE. These new higher secondary schools of India are the real makers of IITian. Without these a person can’t think of becoming an IITian.

Now, if we take a look over the fees taken by these reputed schools for providing their valuable efforts to make the future of your children, you will come to know the importance of these institutes for your child.

There are basically two modes of joining a coaching institute. Either you can go to hub cities of coaching institutes like KOTA, DELHI etc, or you can do preparation in your home with a less popular coaching institute and a correspondence of any hot shot coaching.

Plan A: - Preparation in HUB CITIES

EASONS	FEES
Coaching tuition fee	Rs. 40,000/- per annum
Housing charge	Rs. 2000/- per month
Mess charge	Rs. 1500/- per month
Stationary charges	Rs. 700/- per month
Other charges	Rs.1200/- per month

Plan B: - Preparation in your own city

REASONS	FEES
Coaching tuition fees	Rs. 35,000/- per annum
Stationary charges	Rs. 700/- per month
Correspondence material charges	Rs. 12,000/- per annum

Plan A, Total expenditure in two years: - Rs. 1, 44,480.

Plan B, Total expenditure in two years: - Rs. 1, 02, 400.

Now even after this there is no surety that your child is going to get selection in any of the IIT’s with any shit branch. So, there is a trend of wasting one important year of your life which is called as a drop in these new Higher Secondary School. Even if you have got something in other good colleges like NIT’s etc. they will force you to waste one year to get admission in IIT’s.

I don’t want anyone to not get selected in these IIT’s in the first attempt of JEE , after two year of comprehensive study in these Institutes, but since due to great population of India as the percentage of selection is only 2% . So, around 40% of the student who don’t get select in there fresh year, take drop and again start cramming for JEE. As with new pattern of JEE, the importance of cramming is more than the mere intelligence of a candidate.

Now you have chased your dream and you have got admission in prestigious IIT’s, but your father’s pocket is going to suffer a lot . Now, here is the fees structure of an IIT (Revised one which came into effect in current year 2008-09)

INDIAN INSTITUTE OF TECHNOLOGY, BOMBAY

Fees for B.Tech/DD/ 5-Yr M.Sc. students admitted during the academic year 2008-09

Now this is fees payable for one semester in IIT Bombay and the mess charges are not included in this as it depends on the intake of a child. Mess advance normally comes as 15,000/- per semester . So, if we add up the fees of one year excluding the refundable fees and the fees that is being charge annually.

Total = Rs. 1,02,752 (for GN/OBC) , Rs. 52,752 (for SC/ST)

Now total cost for making your child an IITian if your child clears JEE in his first attempt would be around = (1, 44,480 + 4*1,02,352) = Rs. 5,53,888 /-

So, now it would be quite sure for you all that for becoming an IITian your child should have brain and you should also have money which is really a turning point in your child’s selection in JEE and for the dream of your child to become an IITian.

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
  November
  Semester II : From the last week of December to the last week of
  April
  Summer Term: From the middle of May to the middle of July
  Each academic semester of four months comprises of two Mid
  semester examinations, and one end semester exam along with
  regular quizzes, presentations, projects, assignments, term paper
  and term projects.

For Practical knowledge and hands on experience there are full lab
courses also.

A student is required to complete successfully all the courses of the
curriculum prescribed for programme and obtain a minimum CPI
as under:

B.Tech.: 5.0
B.Tech.-M.Tech. (Dual degree): 6.5
M.Sc.(Integrated): 5.0
M.Sc. (2 year): 6.0
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

• Overall Placement : 100%
  
• Average package offered : 3.34 lacs per annum
• Highest package (Posting aabroad) : 24.5 lacs per annum

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.**

Engineering college rankings

At present , Engineering is considered as a most highly rated career field . More than 60% students are taking maths only because they see their fortune in the exciting field of Engineering . Usually people starts with preparation for IIT-JEE in the 11th standard( intermediate college in some states), and usually starts with a IIT-JEE coaching class (By paying loads of money) to secure admission in prestigious engineering colleges of India.
But after getting ranks in all the prestigious exam like IIT-JEE , BITSAT and AIEEE(There are others too but i can't mention all) . The question which usually ponders in one's mind is that which college should i take? If he has got a very good rank in IIT-JEE ( according to me it's upto AIR 1200) , he will definitely heads off for any IIT ( which IIT -- it's also a very difficult Question). But what to do when u are not up to that mark.Obviously you will see some magazines and will find out which college suits you.
But can you believe on the rankings provided by these magazines.I saw nearly all magazines rankings and I was surprised to see all the surveys neglected the actual facts.See the rankings provided by OUTLOOK , DATAQUEST , NAAC .
If a person don,t know anything about the engineering colleges he is obviously going to believe them because these magazines are read by the common people. So, for a common person(like us) it is too difficult to decide which college should he take ? To get the solution of this problem i chit-chatted with some of my friends and came up with rankings of my own . They just shows the general perception of the students who are studying in BITS-pilani(my college friends) and some other good engineering college(coaching friends) .

Rankings of Indian engineering colleges (Top 20)

1. IIT Bombay (No matter what rankings says.... all toppers of JEE prefers Mumbai -- for exposure and better company interface)

2. IIT Delhi ( Same reason, Best branch - MSC. mathematics and computing )

3. IIT Kanpur ( Best for computer science and electronic science branches)

4. IIT Kharagpur ( Vast college and one of the jewel of India)

5. IIT Madras (Best known for it's computer science)

6. BITS Pilani ( One of the oldest college of India ,famous for its VLSI lab and PARAM 10000 super computer , one of the best college for electronics and computer science students )

7. IIT Roorkee ( Dream college for civil engineering )

8. IT BHU

9. IIIT Hyderabad

10.IIT Guwahati (newly built campus)

11.ISM Dhanabad

12.DCE Delhi ( A Brand name for Mechanical Engineering )

13.NSIT Delhi

14.NIT Suratkal

15.NIT Warangal

16.BITS Goa(only because it's new otherwise a very good college)

17.IIIT Allahabad

18.NIT Trichi

19.NIT Jaipur

20.NIT Hamirpur


We saw the trends of people taking admission in different colleges according to their respective rankings and after talking to different students of different colleges.
This is not a authorized ranking by any institute or ORGANIZATION . it's my own perception(including my friends). We have done this because any aspirants who wants to make a career in Engineering can get a better idea of Indian engineering colleges.
I think that this information will be useful to all and if u have any doubt just write that in comments or mail me at shanky19892006@gmail.com .
