Academy of Technology Hooghly Reviews on Placements, Faculty and Facilities

To be honest Students of AOT right from the time 1st semester starts are taught in such a way that they are seriously getting ready for placements from 1st semester, but yes one of eligible from semester 6th. Companies that visited us were TCS, WIPRO, INFOSYS CAPGEMINI, TECH MAHINDRA, ORACLE, SAP, AMAZON, GOOGLE, etc. Offers were made around 100-200 and mates of my batch grabbed right in it. The highest package offered to us was from Amazon which was around 12 lacs per annum, Google offered but none of us got a chance and the lowest Package was offered by CAPGEMINI and which was 2 lacs per annum. Around 80-90% of students get placed and others opted for higher studies. As I got placed in one of the fortune companies so I am fully dedicated myself to that company and I plan to gain expertise as much as I can and learn as many things I can.

From the 6th-7th semester, students become eligible for the placements and they are made industry ready. Companies that visited were TCS, INFOSYS, WIPRO, CAPGEMINI, TECH MAHINDRA, DELOITTE, ORACLE, SAP, AMAZON, etc. No offers made is countable but I don't know the exact offers made, but I remember in my batch many students bagged 2-3 offers from different companies, which shows how well student of AOT get prepared for placements and all. The highest package during my batch one grabbed was 12 lacs per annum by Oracle, and the lowest Package bagged by anyone was 1.5 lacs per annum by CAPGEMINI, the average package is 3 lacs per annum, around 90-100% of students get placed in Aot during my batch, recently I have been working under TCS and as a fresher, I am gaining more and more experience and Tcs has provided me the opportunity to learn so many new things and I am really enjoying the environment.

The students can sit for placements from the 7th Semester/4th year. Big tech companies hire students for IT job profiles. The placement record stands at 94%. The highest package is 8Lakh/p.a. and the average is 3.8Lakh/p.a.

From 6th sem students are eligible to sit on campassing exams and There are lot of companies that take part in it though I will share some of them like TCS COGNIZANT, MINDTREE. Mindtech, CTS GODREJ PERSISTENT, WIPRO INFOSYS, TECH MAHINDRA ACCENTURE etc. The average package is 3.75 lakh. 70 %of students get placed on average.

- I chose this course for future perspective. - Faculty to student ratio is nearby 60:1. - Qualification is good and teaching method for some teachers are average. - Frequent term exams were taken such as twice internal exams in a Semester gap of 6 months.

The good aspects are that AOT has good placement records for the last consecutive 6 years. Faculty is also outstanding and they always keep the students busy with their studies. This is very helpful when cracking exams. Labs are well equipped with necessary tools. Discipline is strictly maintained. There are technical workshops and fests organized by college also. The bad aspects are that sometimes they put too much pressure on the students regarding studies. Maintaining attendance ( above 75% ) is mandatory no matter whatever your problem is.

Placements-In AOT, there is a separate committee to brush up the students for placements. The internship starts from the 5th semester and the placement on campus starts at the end of the 7th semester. The student needs to score a minimum of 7CGPA to sit for placements. Many companies visit for the on-campus recruiting some of them are TCS,Wipro, Infosys, Amazon(majorly for sales), IBM and many more.The avg package offered by these companies is around 4-5LPA and the highest goes up to 12-14LPA. Our college doesn't hide any information regarding placement It always gets updated on their website along with the student's name and branches those who get placed which is a good thing and every college should do this. Around 99% CSE , IT and ECE students get placed if not core then in I.T companies but the core branches like mechanical and civil have placement percent of around 75% but it is increasing every year. overall what I have heard from seniors is that placement is quite decent.

Actually, most of renowned all IT-based companies like Wipro, Infosys, Cognizant etc. come here and most of the IT/CSE degree holders gets job in those companies. As I'm a Mechanical student, some of the companies that come here for core industries are Godrej, Usha appliance, Hyundai etc. They offer a lot of opportunities to the freshly graduated students.Aot offers very good campusing. By the end of 4 years if you are hard-working and sincere you will definitely get a job. Also, aot offers preplacement classes which will help you get through in any company.

From 7th semester students become eligible for campus placements. Tata Consultancy and many more companies often visits and offer placements to students. A minimum of two offers are made and more is made depending on the academic excellence. I have heard that 91% of students getting placed in various companies and rest percentage opted for higher studies .

I made a research of Academy of Technology before admission. It is quite a good college. Placement opportunity is quite good here. If you are from CSE, IT or ECE then your placement opportunities are more than other core departments. As a AOTian I will suggest that if you are trying to pursue your B.Tech degree from AOT then take admission in CSE, IT or ECE department. Software companies visit here in a large number. So you will definitely get a job.
