- The institute carries “Day Zero” dream campus drives to place students.
- Already 38 companies visited the campus. A few students have already received their offers from some of the reputed companies.
- However, the institute announced that 150+ companies are to visit the campus on day zero.
- Some "day zero" recruiters that came to campus are Autodesk, Amazon, Reliance, Quikr, Novartis, Nutanix, Informatica, VMware, Endurance International, and ZS Associates.
- The packages offered by these companies are above INR 7 LPA.
- Out of these, Nutanix recruited a student at INR 18 LPA.
- However, the drive will continue till September. So, many opportunities are in queue for the students.
- The companies like PwC, Nissan, Philips, TATA Tech, High Radius, and others will offer promising packages of over INR 6 LPA.
- CSE students usually get an opportunity to sit for an interview in every company.
Overall, KIIT SOM students can climb to great heights if they are hardworking and persistent, as the institute provides many opportunities to grow and get placed.
