You will be eligible to sit for placements in your fifth semester. Christ University provides many placement opportunities to its students. You have to maintain an aggregate of 70% to be eligible for placements. Reputed recruiters visit the college to recruit students according to various job requirements. Some of the common companies include JP Morgan, Deloitte, Infosys, De Shaw, Goldman Sachs, etc. The highest package in some departments can go up to 20 LPA and more.

Placement opportunities at LPU are great. To support this, I must point out the placements that were offered in 2023. The placement percentage stood at 100%. The median package for UG (3 years) was INR 8.10 LPA and for UG (5 years) was INR 8.20 LPA. The total number of students who were placed stood at 384. Microsoft, Infosys, Adobe, etc. were the top recruiters.

LPU has secured 16th rank under the law category in the NIRF ranking 2023. Students who have pursued BA LLB from LPU are placed at top corporate companies. The curriculum of this course has made our students industry-ready. This course includes expertise in law, legal policies and frameworks, mergers and acquisitions and business. The recruiters are attracted to this aspect of the course and hire the students.

As someone who is working at LPU, I can confirm that LPU provides excellent placement opportunities for online and distance education students. The university is known for its diverse range of online and distance education courses. The same placement assistance is provided to these students as to those pursuing traditional courses. 

The placement cell of the university provides job assistance to online and distance education students by organising campus drives and connecting students with industry professionals. They also provide career counselling and help students in preparing for the interviews. 

The online course students are placed in top companies like IndiGo, Air India, Intellipaat, Wipro, Amazon, ICICI Bank and more. The average package ranges between INR 5 LPA to INR 7 LPA. More than 1300 students from distance education courses from LPU have secured jobs with above 100 companies conducting drives at the campus.

The main reason for the difference in placements numbers of the New IIMs and the Baby IIMs is recognition in the industry. It's obvious that older and more established IIMs will have a better industry connection, better alumni strength and more experience in attracting quality roles. All these factors are important contributors in the placement of any college. If you look at the average salary stats for new IIMs, it was over 19 lacs for all 6 2nd generation IIMs and over 16 lacs for the baby IIMs for the batch of 2023. The difference is not that huge as such considering baby IIMs are just 5 years younger than 2nd generation IIMs. The gap is more evident in cases where one company is a loyal recruiter from new IIMs and has just started recruiting from baby IIMs. With time this difference will reduce as baby IIMs become more recognized in the industry. 

Yes, there are many hotel management courses offered by LPU at different levels. The School of Hotel Management and Tourism (SOHMT) is one of the leading hospitality education institutes in India. It is certified by the Federation of Hotel Restaurant Association of India (FHRAI). The university offers bachelor’s, master’s and PhD programs in hotel management. The university also provides lateral entry to its BSC and BHMCT courses.

It has industry tie-ups with premier institutions like Radisson, CBL, GEM, AIESEC and more. More than 60 recruiters visit the campus every year for placement. The average package for the top 10% of students was INR 7.20 Lakhs with the highest salary being INR 32 Lakhs.

First of all, all the students will receive a mail on their official email ids provided by the institute from the Placement Committee about the arrival of a company. Each of these mails will have an eligibility criteria mentioned by the company, the CTC offered by the company, guidelines for the process to be followed as mentioned by the Placement Committee and a Google form to collect CVs and data asked by the company. The data is then sent to the HR who then replies with a list of the shortlisted candidates. These candidates receive another email on the same mail trail with a link to join a WhatsApp group maintained by the committee. Then, the company starts with its processes. Usually, the processes include a GD or an Assignment or a task mentioned by the company. Then, the candidates clearing the initial rounds appear for the final interview. The number of interviews also depends on the company itself. The selected candidates are then informed about their selection via a batch email. Some companies like Amazon, DE Shaw, etc also add an additional Aptitude round. Only the students clearing the cutoffs of the aptitude round are then called for further rounds. This practice of taking a written test is followed by almost all the good companies. Hence, it is advisable for the students to keep in touch with the basics of aptitude even after their CAT exam.

The companies coming to IIM Sirmaur usually don’t have any CGPA criteria. While some companies like HCL require a student to have a 60% criteria throughout their Academia including the first year of MBA, the number of these companies is very less. 1-2 companies like SAP labs, Lenskart, etc also ask the students to have a minimum of 7 CGPA in their first year. Hence, it is recommended that each student should at least maintain a CGPA criteria above 6. This will be enough for the students participating in the Final Placement Process.
