What's best college among BPUT, SOA (ITER) & KIIT in terms of placements?
Posted On - Apr 20, 2021KIIT is the best technical college in Orissa, in terms of placements too. Its students get placement offers before the 8th semester itself. But on average, the offers aren’t very attractive. Plus, the fee of KIIT is much higher compared to ITER and BPUT.
My cousin was a bright student at KIIT. He received a good on campus placement. On the other hand, I was a BPUT graduate. Though I was also good at studies, I had to look for off campus placements due to lack of on campus offers.
But my knowledge and hard work eventually paid, and I got a good job with a good package. At present, my cousin and I get an equal salary, and we are both working in different companies in the US.
KIIT is the best for on campus placements. ITER is not as good, but much better than BPUT. But my point is, even if you end up in ITER/BPUT because of financial constraints or some other reason, do not give up hopes. At the end of the day, your hardwork and determination is all that matters.
KIIT is the best college among these, in terms of placements. Reputed companies like Accenture, Wipro, Cognizant, etc. visit the campus drive each year. Here are the highlights of KIIT University 2022 placements.
| Parameters | Statistics |
| Average CTC | INR 6.05 LPA |
| Highest CTC | INR 52 LPA |
| No. of recruiters visited | 300+ |
| Offers made | 5,000+ |
SOA (ITER) ranks next after KIIT, in terms of placements. During the 2022 placement drive, SOA Bhubaneswar offered the highest CTC of INR 42 LPA.
While choosing a college just based on its placement record is not recommended, KIIT stands out here. I have few friends who are alumni from these colleges. Here’s why you should choose KIIT if only placement matters to you.
- KIIT being among the top education hubs of this country stands at the national level. Whereas ITER and BPUT are good colleges as well but at the state level only.
- You will most likely get placed in a good company before the completion of the 8th semester. Whereas in other colleges, you may need to struggle for months to get placed outside. For example, one of my friends graduated from KIIT, and another friend from BPUT. The one who was in KIIT got placed in the last semester itself and the one in BPUT had to struggle for 6 months in Bangalore to get a job.
- KIIT sees a number of well-reputed companies for campus placements such as Accenture, Deloitte, SAP Labs, Intel, Cognizant, Wipro, Infosys, etc. Other companies like Capgemini, Tech-Mahindra also recruit from both KIIT and ITER.
- For the 2018 batch alone, more than 100 companies visited KIIT Campus. This is nearly three times than ITER and n-times than general BPUT colleges.
Overall, KIIT is the best choice here if you just want a good placement after B.Tech. However, you must also know that KIIT has the highest course fee as well. While in BPUT and ITER you have to spend 3 lacs and 9 lacs respectively. For KIIT the total course fee for B.tech is around 15 lacs. Therefore, if budget is not a constraint for you, then go for KIIT without a second thought.
