Deloitte is the dream company of many engineering aspirants and when my brother in KIIT received the notice from Deloitte that it will be conducting a placement drive, he was elated. The students were shortlisted under 3 rounds each of which evaluates the candidates' skills thoroughly. Here is the detailed shortlisting process.

Yes, it's kind of true that KIIT University has been recording excellent placement percentages over the last few years. This year it recorded 90% placements while last year it recorded 92% placements. 

KIIT University has a very dedicated T and P Cell that is well aware that placement is the main criterion to analyze the college's worth. It works relentlessly throughout the year with HRs of different companies at different levels. Whenever a mass-recruiting company is planning to visit, thorough placement training takes place. 

Here is what the placements at KIIT look like

• The training for placements starts as early as the second year for BTech students. The third year is more intense training while in the 4th year, placements are given importance to academics.
• Trainers conduct the Pre-placement Training on the basis of previous year papers and technical interview questions.
• HR training is carried out by private companies/ Career Advisory & Augmentation Services (CAAS).
• Mock interviews and mock-GDs are conducted to ensure students' dedication to placements.
• The students are taught about everything regarding placements from pin to plane.

KIIT has managed to maintain a good placement scenario thanks to the relentless efforts of the T and P cell. The efforts are reflected in the following statistics:

So yes, KIIT has great placements!

I will be explaining the entire placement scenario in detail under three headings: KIIT Recruitment process, KIIT placement assistance, and KIIT Placement statistics. 

KIIT Recruitment process

• Step 1: The visiting companies present their job profiles along with fixed eligibility criteria generally comprising 10th, 12th, and undergrad scores. Some companies may prefer students with programming skills
• Step 2: KIIT Students choose their field of interest from the plethora of available options and analyze their eligibility for the same.
• Step 3: The shortlisted students appear for the written round of the test that includes – aptitude, English, verbal & reasoning, and programming for IT companies.
• Step 4: Once they have cleared the above rounds, students have to sit for the GDs and interview rounds depending on what company they are appearing for.

KIIT Placement Statistics

On average, the placement percentage of most engineering streams at KIIT is 95% and above. The unplaced 5% comprises the most academically weak students. 

KIIT has placements in slots, like Day 0, Day 1, Day 2, and so on. Various companies offer placements to B.Tech students in both IT and Non-IT roles.

The top students get placement offers during Day 0. Companies like Deloitte, TEK Systems, iNautix, MuSigma, etc. visit the KIIT campus with high packages. MuSigma offers packages of around 18 lakhs for 3 years bond period.  iNautix offers around 4 LPA. TEK and Deloitte offer around INR 5.5 LPA. 

During Day 1, Accenture, Cognizant, Infosys, and Wipro visit KIIT. Wipro does not hire Civil students. Accenture offers INR 3.5 LPA out of which 3.14 LPA is constant and the remaining is variable. Cognizant offers INR 3.33 LPA.  Infosys and Wipro offer a maximum amount of INR 3 LPA. 

During Day 2,  TechM and Capgemini offer between 2.75 to 3 LPA. However, Think & Learn and other marketing companies pay a good amount to freshers. Microsoft, LnT, Amazon, Snapdeal, and other e-commerce companies visit the campus towards the end. During 2023, The IT Mass Recruitment Campus Drives generated 1300 job offers from companies like Accenture, Cognizant, Capgemini, Mindtree, Bosch, Ericsson, IBM, among others.

Thus, these are the placement trends at KIIT for both IT and non-IT roles. 

There are two aspects to your placements, whether you are concerned just about the immediate packages or if you are concerned about the long-term career prospects. 

As far as only the packages are concerned, CGPA matters only in some of Companies. To stay on the safe side, try scoring between 6.5–7.0. The reason CGPA is considered for shortlisting is because of the huge batch size. Usually, students scoring less than 8.5 don’t clear these interviews. Apart from CGPA, you will have to convince the recruiter that you are a suitable candidate for the job through your communication skills and knowledge.

For your career prospects, CGPA alone is never enough. For some the placement drives are excellent opportunities while for some they are horror. However, when your career is concerned placements are not the only thing that can help you. So it’s better to not get overwhelmed. I know someone who failed to get placed in KIIT and ended up with the highest package in off-campus placements. If you want a bright career, try focusing on your passion rather than placements. Do something you absolutely love and success will find you one day.
