National Engineering College Thoothukkudi Placement 2025: Highest Package, Average Package, Top Recruiters

Ans. The average placement package for students at NEC is usually somewhere between INR 4.5 to 5 LPA (Lakhs Per Annum). This range can vary a little bit depending on the academic performance, what specialisation, and the campus recruitment company involved. Students from the Computer Science, IT, and Electronics branches earn slightly higher packages on average due to demand in the technology sector. Students with an exceptional academic record, or exceptionally good technical and soft skills, typically receive offers far above the average, particularly with product-based companies or startups.

Ans. In the most recent placement drives at NEC, the highest package was around INR 12 LPA. The highest packages were offered primarily to students from Computer Science (and associated branches), and in some cases, top candidates from the core engineering disciplines who are employed in high-tech roles. Many of the participants, however, received offers from product-based companies or international companies with formal positions in software engineering, Software R&D, or data analytics. This estimate demonstrates NEC's ongoing ability to attract high-value recruiters.

Ans. At NEC, the placement percentage is consistently 85%–90 % & for eligible students across engineering streams. The overall placement percentage can vary slightly by branch, with the higher placement percentages generally in CSE, ECE, and IT streams. NEC's placement and training cell provides important support for students to prepare for recruitment by organizing training sessions, mock interviews, and aptitude tests.

Ans. NEC on-campus placements attract many leading MNCs, IT corporations, and core engineering companies. Many of the on-campus recruiting companies include:

• IT/Software & Tech: TCS, Infosys, Cognizant, Wipro, Zoho, HCL, Capgemini, Accenture.
• Core Engineering: L&T Technology Services, Ashok Leyland, TVS, Siemens.

The roles provided for students are generally in the student's area of specialization: Software Development, Embedded systems, analytics, Mechanical design, Electronics R&D, etc.

Ans. Yes, NEC has a dedicated Training and Placement Cell, which provides comprehensive support for the placement preparedness of students. This training includes aptitude training, soft skills training, coding preparation, practice mock interviews, and CV preparation workshops. Besides, we have also engaged training partners and mentors from the industry to mold students into job-ready professionals. The students have also been encouraged through internships in their pre-final year, as these internships convert to pre-placement offers (PPOs), especially in IT companies and product-based companies.
