Around 11 students were placed in electronics this year and the package range was INR 14 - 30 LPA.
BITS Pilani has placements in 2 semesters and you can choose which one to sit for placements. Usually, students with CGPA > 8 prefer the first semester while those with CGPA > 6 and CGPA < 8 want the first semester but fail to get it.
The first semester placements for ECE are great and top companies like Intel, Qualcomm, Broadcom, SanDisk, Nvidia, Cisco, etc come for placements out of which 15-20 are core companies. So the first semester has great job profiles and packages.
Big companies like Intel, Nvidia, etc. that prefer high-scoring students don’t come for the second semester as mostly average students sit for placements. Several times companies like Broadcom and Qualcomm came for the second semester. Sometimes even core companies like Juniper Networks, Synopsys, Atrenta, LSI, and Cisco come for recruitment.
Overall, it can be concluded that the job opportunities and packages offered are better in the first semester than the second, especially for the core. To get placed in a reputed EEE core company go for the PS-II, 6 months of training program.
