The recruiters' list included companies such as Accenture, Cognizant, Wipro, etc. CSE and IT branches receive most of the placement offers. Other than IT sector companies, many core companies from the Mechanical and Civil sectors also take part in the placement drive.
A friend of mine was studying at KIIT and by the time he had reached his 4th year, he has already been placed. Currently, he has a good job in Hyderabad in a reputed company.
From the input I received from him, here are some points:
- There will be a plethora of companies to choose from CSE/IT background. To name some Amazon, SAP Labs, Dell, IBM, Deloitte, HighRadius, etc.
- Companies like Fiat, Wilson, Sterling, etc. approach Mechanical or Civil students.
- A number of companies approach students from ETC/EEE departments and the number is immense.
- Your performance in online tests, GDs, Quantitative Aptitude, Logical Reasoning, coding will matter. English writing and reading skills would be observed as well.
In case you are selected for a particular company, you would have to restrict yourself from approaching other companies. Your call letter would entirely depend on what company it is.
KIIT has been witnessing dismissals from companies too, but the management is working on bringing them back.
As far as the CGPA factor is concerned, the companies require a limit of 6.00 CGPA + 0 backlogs. In case you fulfill that requirement, any MNC would accept you.
