IET Lucknow Placement 2025: Highest Package, Average Package, Top Recruiters

Placements in IET Lucknow does not depend upon the branch. Though a majority of students are placed in many prestigious companies through campus placement from the branches like CSE, IT, and ECE. 

There are high chances of students getting placements from various other core branches. Also, some students score well in GATE and get placement in PSUs.

As per the recent placement given to the students, the following inference can be made:

Despite of so many offers for many-core branches, it depends upon how you are grabbing those opportunities. If you are pursuing engineering from IET Lucknow, always go for your holistic development in all the fields rather than focusing just on your academics. This can help you immensely to get placed in decent companies.

As one of my cousins studied at IET Lucknow, I might be able to answer your question. According to him, IET Lucknow does not have a good placement record. Very few students actually get placed from the on-campus placement. 

• CSE and IT only have the best reputation and demand among students.
• Hardly one or two students get job opportunities by Adobe and HSBC, they tend to offer better packages.
• There are very few placement opportunities for Civil, Mechanical, and Electrical departments.
• There are a few core companies visiting the campus during placements.
• The college is mainly dependent on mass recruiters like TCS, who offer packages around 3.5 LPA.
• If you are enthusiastic about CAT or GATE exams, then only choose this college.
• The GATE results of Electronics and Instrumentation and Chemical are great.

Overall, the institute has an average reputation. The companies will hire you because of your practical knowledge and skills. If you are not skilled enough, securing a job offer will be difficult.

Yes, of course. Placements of both MCA and B.Tech students take place together. However, I'm not quite sure about the package information about MCA students, but you can’t expect more than 5 LPA. Popular companies like TCS recruits MCA students along with B.Tech students with around 3.4 LPA.

Here are some major facts of IET Lucknow :

A lot of reputed companies participate in their placement program. These include Microsoft, KPMG, Capgemini, Accenture, HP, Deloitte, Morgan Stanley, TCS, Cognizant, Tech Mahindra, etc.

In terms of placement statistics among KNIT Sultanpur, IET Lucknow and BIET Jhansi, IET Lucknow is the best. They are all government colleges but IET Lucknow has an advantage; It is located in the capital city of Uttar Pradesh and offers vast opportunities and exposure. JSS Noida is equally good; it is one of the most prestigious private colleges located in Delhi NCR. 

Important details about the placement statistics are discussed below.

IET Lucknow:

• IES has a better placement record as compared to the other colleges.
• It is also located in the capital city of U.P.

JSS Noida:

• JSS is affiliated to UPTU. Most students from this institute get placed due to its good location.
• In the Delhi NCR region, JSS is a reputed private college.
• The highest CTC offered at JSS is almost the same as IET.

If you have a choice between the two then go for IET Lucknow since It is a government college located in a prime location with an affordable fee structure. According to placements, the ranking order of the institute will be JSS Noida > IET > KNIT Sultanpur > BIET Jhansi.

Students who join IET Lucknow tend to have higher ranks in JEE (Mains) than JIIT Noida. But JIIT Noida is mostly preferred by students, here’s why:

Location

• Due to its location, JIIT Noida is mostly preferred. Being closer to Delhi, it has access to nearby corporate houses and IT firms.
• Students get to attend seminars and industry visits quite often.

Quality of Education

• The faculty is much better at JIIT Noida. Being a private institution, it provides personality development and other exposures.
• Students tend to follow a routine and are disciplined.

Placements

• JIIT Noida is better than IET Lucknow in placements for sure.
• The CSE department is the best among others.
• The highest and the second-highest salary offered at JIIT Noida to the batch of 2016-20 are INR 43.17 LPA by Adobe and INR 34 LPA by DE Shaw.
• CSE is also the best branch at IET Lucknow.
• Students get placement offers from Microsoft with a salary of INR 37 LPA. However, on average it is decent.
• Bharat Electronics Limited (BEL) is a regular recruiter at IET Lucknow for ECE students.

Being a government-run college, IET has far fewer restrictions than JIIT Noida which appeals to many students. But it lacks in personality development and other exposures which you will get at JIIT Noida.

Now that you have known about both the colleges, I think you can clearly understand yourself and make a choice according to what you need.

According to my friends studying at IET Lucknow,Electronics & Instrumentation (EI) Engineering is not a core engineering branch at all while Chemical Engineering is close to being called a core engineering branch.

Now coming to the placement scenario –

• Civil Engineering – Only 1 company visited and paid a salary of INR 4 LPA
• Mechanical Engineering – Only 1 company came and probably it was open for other colleges as well. It took 2 students in total
• EI Engineering – Only 1 company came which was also not a major company and it also took only 2 students
• Chemical Engineering – No company visited the campus

The placements happen in good numbers only for CSE and IT departments. But the placement packages are still less. So most of the students focus on clearing competitive exams such as GATE, IES, CAT, and others.

The harsh reality of IET Lucknow is that you may not even get a single interview experience if you are from the above-mentioned branches. The college is improving under the leadership of the new director but still, there is a long way to go.

If you talk of GATE performance, then EI and chemical engineering always perform much better than other branches.
