The two main reasons are the lack of core companies in India in general and fewer open positions for which BTech graduates are given preference. Most MTech graduates, therefore, prefer working in service-based companies like Infosys, TCS. While some even join PSUs and IES.

NIT Warangal is one of the top NITs so the placements for every branch are great. 1st-year students receive internship offers from February. Placement opportunities are available in the second year also. It is better to get some practical exposure through internships rather than staying in college.

Many reputed VLSI companies visit the college for placements and internships like Intel, Nvidia, AMD, AMS, Xilinx, Analog Devices, Mediatek, cypress semiconductor, microchip etc

Here are the brief highlights of VLSI placements at NIT Warangal

Overall, if you want to secure good packages, work hard in the first year and maintain good grades. Getting internship offers does not necessarily mean you will get laced. So dont give up on the hard work!

Like most engineering institutes, placements at NIT Warangal are broadly categorized to CS and Non CS placements. Currently, the huge batch size has made placements a more competitive sport. Students go through a number of emotions before sitting for placements. Most students are able to secure good packages and jobs given the fact that NIT Warangal admits the best minds of the country. 

The placement process is complex and students have to go through a number of screening processes from Aptitude Test, Coding Test, Group Discussions, and several peer-to-peers interview sessions with company employees to the HR round. Every round evaluates you from a different angle to ensure thorough screening of the students.

Placements in NIT Warangal commence from mid-July. The first day is the most nerve-wracking experience for the students and their anxiety levels are high. Those who are able to manage the stress and perform excellently, end up with a good package and the celebration begins. Those who fail, feel embarrassed to face their peers. The companies keep visiting every alternate day in the first month so if you don't get selected, don't lose hope.

Comparing a dormant branch like Civil with the most coveted branch CSE isn’t a very logical way of getting an idea of the placement scenario. Every student of the CSE branch ends up with a core job so its placement scenario is incomparable. Civil Engineering despite having a low demand has a decent number of core positions recruited.

Nowadays, the youth is not interested in joining PSUs mainly because of their low pay in comparison to software companies. Most civil engineering students are interested in core positions so the numbers in non-core aren't that great. Moreover, the number of students interested in MS, CAT, and GATE is growing every year affecting the placement statistics largely. 

Here is a general comparison of placement statistics of both the branches

The statistics don’t exactly convey the students' intention. In reality, most students are able to secure a job in their desired field, and only a few fail to do so.
