MIT, Manipal, Placement Updates: How the numbers stack up for your course
By Pulkit On 18 Apr, 2012 At 09:41 AM | Categorized As Interviews and Class Rooms, The Manipal Experience | With 2 Comments



As some readers might remember, I did a MIT Manipal Placement Analysis two weeks ago which was later taken off after 3 days because of some issues with the placement department of MIT Manipal. These issues were basically about the way the Data was depicted and they feared that it might lead to branch comparison which is dangerous because each branch has its own dynamics. So to basically represent data in a more subjective way, I decided to write this article without using tables and by just using data from each branch individually. I am also considering additional data,  in the form of companies which actually came for each branch. Please note that the data shown is till 9th Feb, 2012.

Important Points:

  • ‘MRC’ basically refers to Mass Recruiting companies, and in this classification I have borrowed this term which the college usually uses to describe companies which are expected to recruit a significant no. of students.
  • ‘IT’ refers to what according to me are jobs related to IT/Programming/Networking fields.
  • Companies referred to as ‘MRC’ : TCS, Accenture, Wipro Technologies, HCl Generic, Mphasis, iGATE PATNI, IBM, HCL Infosystems.
  • Companies referred to as ‘Branch Relevant’ : Schneider Electricals, Philips Electronics, Mahindra & Mahindra, ABB, Atkins, TATA MOTORS, Tata Technologies, TCE, L & T, GMR Energy ltd, GE Health Care, Honda 2Wheelers, Hero Moto Corp, Hindustan Times, HCL(CORE), Delta Prining press, Wipro VLSI, Robert Bosch, Ericsson, Punjlloyd, Reliance, Toshiba, Ashok Leyland, ACG Worlwide, Maruti, ST Ericsson, Grasim Industries, L & T ECC, Photokina, Ericsson global, Zuari Industries, Total Environment, Blue Star India, Titan Industries, JSW, Ingersoll Rand, HUL, Wipro Infrastructure
  • Companies referred to as ‘IT’: Samsung Electronics, Cybage, Comviva, SAP Labs, Source bits, CISCO, Nomura, Impetus, TRDC (TCS), Oracle, UNISYS, Citrix, Micrpsoft IDC, Microsoft IT, Exeter Group, Fidelity, Cypress Semiconductors, Century Link, InMobi, Societe Generale .
  • Companies referred to as ‘Others’: Deloitte, Mu- Sigma, Futures First, Microsoft SMSG.

Aero & Auto:

Aero, being a young branch, was never going to be a candidate for bumper placements. It still had 3 non-MRC companies. However, apparently no student could clear the written exam for any of those companies.  For Auto, many branch relevant companies visit campus and hence the opportunities for core placements will always be there.

Average Package for Aero : 3.13 LPA

Average Package for Auto : 3.56 LPA

BME & BT:

These are two branches were branch relevant placements are very few.  In fact, BME had 5 non-MRC companies for which its students were eligible, while BioTech only had 2, Mu-Sigma and Futures First (both made all branches eligible). Biotech had the lowest no. of companies for which its students were eligible, at 8.

Average Package for BME : 3.09 LPA

Average Package for BT : 3.14 LPA

 

Chemical, Civil & PMT:

Chemical and civil both have their fair share of branch relevant placements. Also, more than half the eligible students in both branches got MRC jobs. Printing is unique in a sense because of the few students that are in the branch most try going for branch relevant placements irrespective of the package, resulting in a very low MRC job percentage.

Average Package for Chemical: 3.36 LPA

Average Package for Civil: 3.28 LPA

Average Package for PMT: 2.95 LPA

 

ECE, IC & EEE:

All three branches have similar placement figures, in the sense that they have similar MRC placement percentage. Even the average packages are similar.

Average Package for ECE : 3.5 LPA

Average Package for EEE : 3.56 LPA

Average Package for IC : 3.56 LPA

CSE and IT

These two branches are bound to have better placement statistics because of the number of IT/programming/Networking companies that visit the campus. Also due to the unusually high number of students recruited by Microsoft(11 from CSE,  4 from IT) the average package for both branches is pretty high.

Average Package for CSE : 4.08 LPA

Average Package for IT : 3.81 LPA

IP, Mech and Mechatronics:

With 119 branch relevant offers for 178 eligible students, Mechanical placements are very good.  To me, this implies that Mechanical students have a nice range of core companies to choose from when it comes to placements, with almost all major companies coming to campus. IP had 13 non MRC companies for its 39 eligible students, while Mechatronics had 10 non-MRC companies for its 35 eligible students.

Average Package for IP : 3.48 LPA

Average Package for Mech : 3.57 LPA

Average Package for Mechatronics : 3.61 LPA

 

Conclusion :

This analysis was done from a purely placement point of view and it is not my intention to comment on the overall scope of any branch. One must also recognize that in certain branches, e.g,  Bio-Medical and Bio-Tech, placements are usually not the ultimate aim of students and many prefer going for higher education. So, here I am only stating what the performance has been, irrespective of other considerations. All I am saying is that if one wants to know about placements in these branches till 9th Feb, these are the numbers.

Also, in my opinion, MIT Manipal with its large batch size is never going to have very high average packages or high branch relevant placements for most branches. Placements this year have been much better than those for earlier years. But now, and for the foreseeable future, MIT placements cannot hope to compete with the IITs or the better NITs, which have small batch sizes and are generally considered to be academically and technically superior.  I remember on my first day in college, in July 2008, the director at that time, in a speech said that MIT has crossed all NITs and is now competing with the IITs. That was then, and is still, completely untrue. With ever-increasing batch sizes, MIT is in a completely different group and in comparison with similar colleges, does pretty well when it comes to placements.

Please note that this analysis is across factors and metrics which are important in my opinion. People might differ with the analysis, and in case of any clarifications/complaints/queries may comment here drop a mail to pulkitsachdeva@gmail.com .  But please do not, under any circumstances,  call me at 8 am to argue about this article.


About - I am a 4th year student at MIT, Manipal. Love Football, History, reading and quizzing. Have an opinion on almost everything.

  • aditya

    hi i m a diploma student wkng in a press tool company
    is it better to do the job or takr lateral entry in manipal(mech)b.tech
    which is better for me n why?

  • Ravi

    For PG students is there any internship oppurtunity for vlsi

  • Ravi

    I would like to do the M TECH or MS in VLSI in Manipal University. So will i get placement if i do this course or what is the probalbility of getting the job in this course??

  • Ankit Singh

    That’s a completely honest analysis which is very hard to find for the other colleges,appreciated

  • pulkit

    Hey Pulkit, thanks for this info. I’m in 3rd year right now and wanted to know if you had any idea about the ‘college cut off to sit in the placement’. Thanks.

  • Periwal Aakash

    joinin mit manipal civil would be better or taking cse or ins in comedk under top 10- 15 ranked colg??  which vl have a better scope and placement

    • Pulkit Sachdeva

      I can only tell you how placements in MIT Manipal have been. I dont really have any idea about placements in those colleges.

  • Neednottoknow

    Hey! Thanks for taking the toil to guide others. God work always pays mate.

  • http://twitter.com/hipreetam93 Preetam Nath

    Well, that clears it. Every branch gets more or less the same average compensation. It’s only the maximum which varies.

    • Pulkit Sachdeva

      That might be the case for most branches, but in your first job, it always better to look at the kind of profile you get rather than the package you get.

  • Kolekar Sucheta

    Nice work done Pulkit…..God bless you.

    • Pulkit Sachdeva

      Thank you!!

  • Deepak Pattnaik

    Hi Pulkit. Thanks for the above info. I will be glad if u can highlight on the placement figures of Msc Tech programs. So far what i found is most of the placements are just interships. I am supposed to take admission for this Msc tech Lateral entry program. but kind of confused coz currently i am working in cognizant and leaving the job and then going for the program whose placement figure is doubtful sounds a bit risky. So please guide me with this asap. Thanks a lot.
    Deepak Pattnaik

    • Pulkit Sachdeva

      Hey Deepak, I don’t have access to MSc placement data, so can’t really give any insights on that. If i get my hands on that data, maybe then i can give you some insights into the placements.

  • rajesh

    hello,d stats u r giving is completely different frm wat d profs say at d time of counselling……..they r tryn to project to d freshers tat dere avg placement is much higher than wat ur stats reveal…i am utterly confused !!!!!!!

    • ManipalBlog

      Hello Rajesh,

      These numbers have been taken from official numbers provided till Feb 9th. Of course there may have been placements after that as well.

      • Pulkit Sachdeva

        mostly they won’t lie, but they might use generic statements. Completely depends on the particulars of what was conveyed to you.

  • Kumarvenu11

    can u update for MTECH placement details ?

  • http://www.facebook.com/Razesh.B Rajesh Barri

    Hello admin
    can you update the PG placement details :)

    • Pulkit Sachdeva

      Hey, i am just a student who go access to UG placement data and just put it together concisely in a few tables. I dont have access to PG data. If i get the data from somewhere, then sure I will do it. But as of now, i can’t think of any way of getting my hands on that data.

    @manipalblog:disqus…
    As far as Aeronautical Engg. is concerned I think you’d rather dig up the placement matter a little more. You have mentioned that “no student could clear the written exam for any of those companies”. First of all 1 student reached the 2nd last round and another reached the final round of a company.

    Now the fact is the placement department has not informed the companies (which regularly visit our campus for placements and which have Aeronautical/Aerospace sector) properly that MIT has Aeronautical Engg. also. I was also surprised by this fact but this is what the interviewer of a company told a student during the final interview round. As per the interviewer the company came for recruiting Mechanical Engineers because they were not told that MIT have Aeronautical Engineering branch.

    • Pulkit Sachdeva

      Thats what the placement ppl told me, because they objected me saying there were no core placements in my last analysis. They said with the companies that came in, no one could clear the writtens. Still, its a new branch and hopefully, with time, more companies will come for aero students.

      • Shantanu

        The information was very useful..thanks for sharing the information about placements…

  • Ritwik Sahoo

    for mech at least what i observed from my batch…be prepared for written …and should be eligible for all companies….and it wont matter if u r in top 50 or top 30….coz in the first mech company Mahindra…50 % were above 8 and 50% were below 8 cgpa. ( approx)….

      • http://www.facebook.com/aatif.syed1 Aatif Anis Syed

        see the highest package for mech and chem branch was 8 lpa(hindustan unlilever), in the year 2012

  • http://www.facebook.com/N.Vignesh Vignesh Natarajan

    can you also post branch-wise highest?

  • Abhishek

    true..i completely agree..all unfair comparisons and false comparisons are being made to get the crowd to come in. Its only when you come in that you realise that its a competitve environment again and if you are not in best 50 in your batch (ece,eee,mech,cs) then you cant expect anythng other than a MRC

    • Pulkit Sachdeva

      Don’t really agree with this generic statement. You need to be good with your branch knowledge if you want to get into a core company. Companies come here to pick people who are best for them. In my experience GPA has mostly been a qualification criteria rather than a decisive criteria . In fact for three of the branches you gave as examples- EEE, Mech and CSE, people who might be classified as average have got pretty nice placements. 

  • http://www.facebook.com/i.vishwajeet Vishwajeet Kakde

    Thanks so much! This is very informative. Appreciate all the effort you must’ve gone through in compiling all this info.

    • Pulkit Sachdeva

      Thank You!!!

      • Deepseaarcade123

        My cgpa is 6.56 and I’m in 2nd year (Mechanical), so the best I can get is upto 7.1 or 7.2 cgpa by the end of 3rd year. Is it difficult for me to get placed in a core branch in the campus? I will be doing summer training next month which could help my resume.

        • Pulkit Sachdeva

          GPA is basically a qualification criteria. most companies have 7 as a cutoff. As long as your tech knowledge and know how is good, you can always get placed in a good core company. However, you would definitely be asked in the interviews to explain why you have a low gpa.

      • Chandra

        Thanks for this info.  Just curious to know .. The number of students in Aeronautical in this year (first year admission) is about 180, whereas you mentioned eligible students to be around 40 or so.  Am I missing something or is it that for this batch the intake is about 40 only?  Please let me know.

        • Pradyumna Das

          the intake in my batch (2009) for aero was 40……it was later increased.
