MNIT-Jaipur Placements

[Based on information from the official website]

MNIT-Jaipur(Malviya National Institute of Technology-Jaipur) is one of the premier NITs of India.Here is an analysis of their placements.

According to the official website ,in the academic year 2008-2009:
  • 77 organizations visited/ conducted interviews for recruitment of final year student and selected 337 student out of total 340 eligible students.
  • Maximum Salary was Rs11.7 lpa(De Shaw), Average Package was Rs.4.54 lpa.and minimum was 3 Rs.3 lpa (Capgemini).
  • 28 Software companies visited the campus for the recruitment this year
  • 61 Core engineering companies visited the campus for the recruitment this year
  • 99.11% of eligible (340) UG candidates placed
  • More than 50% of the students placed in first 7 days from the commencement of placement.
  • INFOSYS was the biggest recruiter (58 students)
  • Record highest salary offered is Rs. 11.7 lpa by DE SHAW to 2 students of Computer engineering .
There were some big names like DeShaw,Samsung , Deloitte,NetAPP,NTPC,IOCL,Tata Motors which are likely to give Rs.6 lpa+ .Yahoo selected 3 (most likely above Rs. 7 lpa) whereas Google and Verizon took none.
Note that a lot big names like ST Microelectronics , Oracle,Microsoft etc. are missing.
Also , a maximum salary of Rs.11.7 lpa means that most likely there were no foreign placements(which are usually over $50,000 pa)

Dream job(most likely) would be an offer greater than Rs.4 lpa , preferable in a core company.

As it can be seen from the table , the overall averages are good , especially for EE , in which case it is above Rs. 5 lpa , which is great.Note that since the highest was Rs.11.7 lpa , there would be no "spiking" of the average caused by a single very large salary(eg. a foreign placement).

Also note that even Mech/Chemical/Civil have 4 lpa+ averages , which is very good.In fact Chemical average exceeds CS!!A reason for this could be due the PSUs like IOCl,ONGC,NTPC etc. which give 7-8 lpa and often recruit over 10 students.In fact , during this placement season , BPCL took 5 , NTPC took 18+4 , IOCL took 7.Their pays(calculated as pay-in-hand + benefits are quite good).

On the whole , MNIT-Jaipur had quite good placememnts , though not as good as NIT-Calicut(click here to see)

IIIT- Allahabad Placements 2008

[Based on official information from the IIIT-A website]

IIIT-A (Indian Institute of Information Technology - Allahabad) is a well-known Information Technology institute of India.So let's take a look at the placement scene there.
The BTech. batches being placed was the 2005 batch from IIIT-A main campus (87 students) and from the RGIIT-A i.e. Amethi Campus(57 students).Along with them were 70 MTech students , bringing the grand total of 214 students sitting for placements.
The UG courses are BTech. InformationTechnology and BTech. Electronics and Communication.




From 2003 to 2007 , the % of students placed has gone up from 98% to 100%.Given that it has only CS/EE related fields , it is not a big deal.
However it is interesting to see that the % of "Dream Job" offers has risen from 25% to 41%. (IIIT-A defines "Dream Job" as Rs. 6 Lakhs per Annum(lpa) . The definition of dream job can very from college to college.)




Average salary has shown a steady increase from Rs. 3.95 lpa to Rs. 5.05 lpa (2003 to 2007) which is very good.Note that the college has only CS/EE related fields , so it will have higher averages.But Rs. 5.05 lpa is a good figure.




But note that the highest salary has risen from Rs. 9 lpa to just 10.25 lpa from 2004 to 2007. Note that a highest of Rs. 10.25 lpa would indicate no foreign placement.This is a key differentiator.Elite colleges(Like IIT,BITS etc) have highest placements running into Rs. 20 lpa +.This occurs due to the conversion of a $ salary into Rupees.
International placements (To US/Europe) will have starting salaries of $50,000+ pa. as the cost of living is about 4 times higher there.

As for recruiters , the number of recruiters has risen from 24 to 35 in 2004-2007.What matters however , is the quality of the recruiters.

Under "Major Recruiters" , IIIT-A lists th following names:

ADOBE SYSTEMS
AMDOCS
ARCIENT
BHARATELECTRONICS
CAPGEMINI
CISCO
CITRIX R&D INDIA PVT. LTD.
CSC
D.E.SHAW INDIA SOFT.PVT.LTD.
FISERV
GCI
GLOBAL LOGIC
HUGHES SYSTIQUE
IBM GES
IBM INDIA PVT.LTD.
IBM ISL
ITC INFOTECH
MAQ Softwares
MICROSOFT IDC
NEWGEN
ONMOBILE
ORACLE
PATNI COMP.SYS.LTD.
TCS
THOROGOOD ASSOCIATES
WIPRO
YAHOO

Note that out of these , the ones that have been highlighted are "Exclusive Recruiters" , which do not go to less-reputed colleges.Exclusive recruiters will usually recruit 5(sometimes up to 10) students.Their packages are usually 6 - 7 lpa+ .

Companies like TCS,Wipro etc. are "Mass Recruiters" and will go to even less reputed colleges.They often recruit over 30 students , as they know that majority will not be joining their company.Their packages are lower , usually between 3 to 4.5 lpa.

Exclusive and Mass recruiters , are at 2 ends of the spectrum.A lot of the above companies could be giving intermediate salalries and recruiting just 5 to 10 students.


On the whole ,placement-wise , IIIT-A is a good option.The fact that it has only CS/EE related branches ensures good pay packages.

Imp. Note : While choosing colleges do not rely solely on placements.You must find out about other important factors such as quality of teaching , lab facilities , campus/student life, internship opportunities and avenues for higher studies in India/abroad.
