With dreams in their eyes, they had taken admission in the best institutes of the city, and now they are set to fly high as they will leave their alma mater with lucrative job offers in their kitty. Students of some of the finest institutes have already been placed in different organizations or are in the process of being recruited by companies awaited on the campuses.
Boasting 100% placements last year, Indian Institute of Technology Patna (IIT-P) has already got 15 of its students placed in three organizations in November and three students in December. "While recruitment at most IITs starts in December, a few companies visited our campus earlier this year. Placements would continue till March and we expect a 100% placement in 2012 too," said Suresh Prasad, in charge, Training and Placement Cell, IIT-P. Of the 25 companies that visited IIT-P last year, the major employers were multinationals like Microsoft, Amazon and Flipkart and domestic majors like TCS, Infosys, Tata Motors, Hero MotoCorp, Bharat Petroleum and DRDO.
With recruitments going on across all campuses of Birla Institute of Technology (BIT), almost 60% students of BIT Patna have already been placed in 13 companies. "We have one of the best placement records in the city and some companies that have hired BITP students are Wipro, Samsung and Facebook. About 5-6 companies visited BITP and our students were recruited from other campuses too," said BITP director S L Gupta.
Campus selection is also going on at the National Institute of Technology Patna (NITP), with quite a few students placed comfortably, said Vidya Sagar Nath, registrar, NITP.
While engineering college students are raking in moolah, management graduates are not behind. Almost 25% of Chandragupt Institute of Management Patna (CIMP) students are already placed. An elated director V Mukund Das said, "The recruitment season started early and would be over by the end of January. Most of the students are from the state itself and we have 100% placement record. The organizations that come for recruitment here once, definitely visit CIMP again." Das expects that students would receive salary offers as high as Rs 15 lakh this year.
Three students of the first national law university of Bihar, Chanakya National Law University (CNLU), got offers from Pangea, a legal process outsourcing (LPO) firm, as early as July 2012 and two others got pre-placement offers from where they did their internship. Pulak Sparsh, Aditi Shahi and Aayush Jha, all final year students of CNLU, received a job offer of Rs 7 lakh per annum from Pangea. "The average annual package offered here is Rs 5 lakh and companies mostly visit the campus during January-end and February," said Ajay Kumar, placement in charge (faculty), CNLU.
The Central University of Bihar (CUB), currently located on the BITP campus, mostly offers courses of general nature. Its students were placed in some non-government organizations (NGOs) and industries last year. "We usually organize a 'Development Meet' in March, where students are picked up by NGOs or companies working in development sectors. Since not many professional courses are taught here currently, students also go for NET and CSIR exams," said Janak Pandey, vice-chancellor, CUB.
Another institute that prides itself on 100% placement is National institute of Fashion Technology, Patna (NIFT-P). "The average annual package offered to undergraduate students is about Rs 3 lakh, whereas postgraduate students receive somewhere between Rs 4-4.5 lakh. NIFT centres have centralized placements and for the current batch, campus selection would start from January 29, 2013," said Sanjay Srivastava, director, NIFT-P.
