VNIT Nagpur Placements 2024: Highest Package, Average Package, Top Recruiters

Here are the detailed 2022 B.Tech placement figures for VNIT Nagpur-

1 student received an international offer for 23 LPA CTC. 

Last year’s B.Tech placement figures of VNIT weren't very promising. A lot more is expected from this college, especially because of its high admission cutoffs.

I was an M.Tech VLSI student at VNIT Nagpur. I had a bitter experience regarding the academics and placements.

At VNIT, M.Tech students are under immense pressure to conduct research. The faculty pushes the students to pursue a Phd. On top of that, one doesn’t even get the necessary lab facilities from the college. The VLSI faculty is not supportive at all, and the entire experience is filled with torture. None of the course subjects are industry relevant.

VNIT wants its M.Techs to pursue research. This is why the campus does not receive any companies for M.Tech placements. Getting placed off campus is very difficult as companies prefer students from communication branches. Also, unlike communication students, the VLSI students aren’t permitted to go for internships. This further lessens the chances of getting a job offer.

It is especially difficult to get placed off campus, given that a single position has around 200 applicants. Moreover, the NIT tag does nothing to get oneself a job. This year, only 2 students from the entire VLSI batch got placed. The others received offers from service based companies for a package of 5–6 LPA, and with a 3 year bond, of 7–8 LPA.

Overall, the placement scenario for M.Tech VLSI is not good at all, maybe the poorest out of all NITs. I won’t recommend VNIT Nagpur for an M.Tech in VLSI.

It is important to choose the branch that will fetch you the best job offers in future.

Here are the average packages offered to different B.Tech branches during 2022 placements at VNIT Nagpur-

Through these placement figures, you can analyze the branch best suited for your career goals. 

VNIT Nagpur records decent placements in B.Tech civil. Even the off campus placement drives are organized with the help of college authorities. 

This year, 121 civil students of VNIT received job offers. Companies like Black N Veatch, Fluor Daniels, L&T ECC, L&T Powai, Afcons, Pidilite, ZS, Mu Sigma, Futures First, SPCL, IBM and Aarvee associates recruit civil students from the VNIT campus. 

Overall, B.Tech Civil placements at VNIT are decent and at par with other NITs.

Till 2017, VNIT recorded good placements in its Mining department. Coal India was the major recruiter, and it offered good packages.

In the past few years, fewer core companies visit the campus. Vedanta, LnT, etc. visit and recruit few students each year. PSUs like SAIL, NTPC and NLC recruit GATE qualified students. However, they only have a few vacancies. Getting a core job isn’t guaranteed. 

You can try for non-core companies (IT, Management, Trading ,etc). With some experience and proper skillset, you can increase your chances of getting selected. For this experience and skill set, you’ll need internships. But such companies are open for multiple branches, so you’ll have to put in more effort and prove your excellence.

This is the placement scenario for B.Tech Mining at VNIT Nagpur.

I did my M.Tech Civil from VNIT Nagpur. Thus, I can highlight the placement scenario for my specialization (i.e. Transportation Engineering)-

The companies that recruit from VNIT include- AARVEE Associate, LnT ECC, Spectrum Techno Consultants Pvt Ltd, Nagpur Metro Rail Corporation Limited, Onnyx Electronics, JMC Project Ltd, L and T Infra, WSP/Parsons Brinckerhoff, Bajaj Reinforcement LLP, etc. 

Apart from this, some educational institutes also visit for recruitments. These are- S R Patel College of Engineering, Sandip University and Sandip Foundation, BASE Educational Services Pvt Ltd, Adyant Education Pvt. Ltd, Franchises of Aakash Educational Services Pvt Ltd, Avanti Fellows, A.R.M.I.E.T. Thane, Ballarpur Institute of Technology (BIT), PT Education, and Sharda Group of Institutions.

Around 80% students are placed, both on campus and off campus. This includes those who crack government exams, or are appointed as assistant professors. Some students opt for higher studies, while some obtain a CGPA< 6.75. Both of those aren’t included in these placement stats. 

The placements are decent for M.Tech Civil at VNIT Nagpur. The college workload is quite manageable. This allows students to prepare for and crack government exams.

The B.Tech Chemical program at VNIT offers a good faculty and decent placements.

The Chemical department performs really well in competitive exams like GATE, GRE etc. As for placements, both core and non core companies bring job offers. The list of recruiters includes core companies like Reliance, Exxon mobil and L&T limited, and non-core companies like fidelity, GEP, Quantiphi and ZS associates. All the visiting companies are highly reputed.

Apart from the names already mentioned, Godrej Chemicals, Pidilite, Jubilant, Reliance Petrochemicals, Reliance Industries, etc. also visit the campus during placement season. 

However, the Chemical Department suffers from a few drawbacks. These are the non-working labs, lack of transparency in case of feedback, and too much authority. 

In Spite of these shortcomings, the Chemical department of VNIT Nagpur is good. You’ll be offered decent facilities and placement during your B.Tech Chemical from this college.

The reason why Architecture students aren’t placed in non core jobs is because they don’t usually sit for them. Apart from that, no Architecture firms visit the campus for placements. Some Architecture students try for off campus jobs in their domain, while others start their own firm and do business. 

Thus, mostly Architecture students either approach companies on their own, or become entrepreneurs.
