IIIT-Hyderabad Placements

UPDATED: [Based on Mandatory Disclosure and placements section on the official website]

UPDATED part
Recently IIIT-Hyderabad has released information about last year's placements.It is not a part of the mandatory disclosure(as per AICTE norms). Hence the break-up of companies is not available.

Undergraduate Placement

S.No	Program	Participated Students	Placed	Awaiting Placement	% of Placement	Average Salary (INR)(Lac)
1	B Tech (CSE)	941	94	0	100	8.542
2	BTech (ECE)	27	27	0	100	5.50

1. This includes six off-campus offers.

2. This includes a $110,000-a-year offer from Google, USA and two same-value offers from Facebook, USA. If the three overseas offers are excluded, the domestic average compensation will be Rs.7.3 lac.

As mentioned in the original post, it was highly unlikely that there were any foreign placements for the last placement year.However this year IIIT-Hyderabad has clearly mentioned those offers. They include a $110,000 from Google and "two-same value offers" from Facebook,USA (which may imply those two offers are $110,000 as well).

Both Google and Facebook are highly selective recruiters. But Google has been visiting IIIT-Hyderabad for many years now. Most likely they have been recruiting for their India-based offices at around Rs. 10 lpa.
Definitely things are looking up for IIIT-Hyderabad! However by no means is this exclusive. Many other AIEEE colleges do have International placements such as NSIT, NIT-Surathkal etc.
Nevertheless this is one of the best placements in India for CS stream.Apart from placements IIIT-H is well known for its advanced pedagogy in the CS field.

Postgraduate Placement

S.No	Program	Participated Students	Placed	Awaiting Placement	% of Placement	Average Salary (INR)(Lac)
1	M Tech (CSE)	293	29	0	100	5.60
2	M Tech (CSIS)	94	9	0	100	4.85
3	M Tech (CL)	3	3	0	100	4.40
4	M Tech (VLSI)	20	195	1	95	4.22
5	M Tech (CASE)	9	4	5	445	4.50
6	M Tech (BI)	12	6	9	25	4.40

3. One student each from M Tech (CSE) and M Tech (CSIS) has an off-campus job.

4. This includes three students who only have internship placement. This year, in view of a continuing slump in the semiconductor job market, VLSI students, like in the past year, have offered to consider students with internships placement as “students placed”.

5. M Tech (CASE) and M Tech (Bioinformatics) programs saw unimpressive placement in view of the depressed infrastructure and bioinformatics job markets.

6. This includes two students who have internship cum job offers.

Clearly a marked difference.While UG students have done very well, MTech students haven't.

DA-IICT Placements

[Based on official information from DA-IICT website]

DA-IICT(Dhirubhai Ambani Institute of Information and Communication Technology) , Gandhinagar is a well-known Information Technology institute.Here is a bit about its placements.

Its flagship UG degree is the BTech ICT(Information and Communication Technology) which is a mix of computer science , electronics and communications disciplines.This fact is reflected by the recruiters it attracts.

The recruiters are classified as "Niche"(those offering more than Rs. 4 lpa) and "Regular"(which offer less than Rs. 4 lpa ).

The BTech. ICT batch of 2005 has 217 students. Another 123 students are in 2 higher degrees.For these students , following statistics have been given:

The no. of job offers going up from 379 to 558 is a good sign , though it is most likely that these offers have come from IT Mass Recruiters , like TCS,Wipro etc.

However , the average package of Rs. 3.1 lpa is not very good ,as compared to a similar IT college(Take a look at the IIIT-A analysis).The highest package of 9.1 lpa would indicate that there are no international placements(which usually are over $50,000 pa).

Here is a list of recruiters:

One can see a mix of IT , CS , Electronics related companies.Exclusive recruiters like ARM , Microsoft IDC,NVidia,Qualcomm,ST Microelectronics,Texas Instruments can be seen.

It is not clear that what salaries they offerred but it is most likely that they were 6lpa+.Note that HP and Motorola are also good companies , but usually they offer just 4-5 lpa.

On the whole , we feel that DA-IICT doesn't seem to have that great on-campus placements as say IIIT-A and IIIT-H.However their ICT course structure is excellent , containing a mix of IT , CS and ECE. Their infrastrcuture , faculty and higher education options(especially abroad) seem quite good.
