Engineering Placements: Growing in leaps and bounds!

 Engineering Placements: Growing in leaps and bounds!

The School of Engineering and Technology at CHRIST (Deemed to be University), established in 2008, has an enviable record when it comes to Campus Placements for Engineering students. There has been a surge in the number of organizations participating in campus recruitment since the last two years despite the economic slowdown due to the Pandemic.

The academic year 2021-22 witnessed a total of more than 450 students from different Branches of Engineering including Computer Science & Engineering, Information Technology, Electrical & Electronics Engineering, Electronics & Communication Engineering, Automobile Engineering, Mechanical and Civil Engineering actively participating in the campus recruitment process.

The top recruiters include reputed and well established organizations from different sectors like technology firms Capgemini, Cognizant, IBM, Mindtree etc ; audit firms like EY, Deloitte; manufacturing companies like Mercedes Benz, Philips, Larsen & Tubro, Luminous, Novo Nordisk; IT firms like TCS, Tech Mahindra, SAP Labs, Unisys, Wipro to name a few. The top package was Rs 20 lacs Cost To Company (CTC) offered by Morphle Labs. Around 10 other organizations offered packages in the range of Rs 10 -15 lacs CTC and the average CTC offered for the current year is around Rs 6 lacs.

Another notable feature of the placement season has been that more than 50 organizations have provided internship opportunities for the final year students from the 7^th semester to complete their respective FastTrack curriculum. A majority of these were converted to fulltime offers on successful completion of the internship.

The final year students of the Bachelor of Technology programme were also given a ten-day Campus Recruitment Training (CRT) conducted by Seventh Sense and Bizotic. The training covered various aspects of campus recruitment process like resume writing, personal interview, mock group discussion sessions, analytical skills and logical reasoning. These sessions helped the students to virtually simulate a campus recruitment drive and provided an insight into key focus areas.  

The School of Engineering and Technology has also established a vibrant academia-industry interface through Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with various organizations such as Renault Nissan, Tech Mahindra, BOSCH, Mercedes Benz, Tata Advanced Materials etc which help the students to develop skills and understand academics from an industry perspective.

The School of Engineering and Technology has within a span of 15 years developed into one of the leading institutes in terms of the quality of education, holistic development of students and campus placements for engineering graduates.
