Students are prepared for placements right from the third semester. Indusrrial training is provided to us and engineering industries like L&T, Bhel, IRS and HAL among others which are in full swing are among the colleges that hires IIT KGP students with an average package of no less than 15-18 lakhs yearly.

At IITs students are free to find placements on their own and if not then durng the final year, companies like L&T, Pum Lloyd, Tata Motors, and Mahindra Auto among others come and take students in numbers. Students plaement percntage is 100% an some students even have dual offers and hence students here are spolit for choies as placements are thsi good. Avrage for Mechanical students is aroud 20lakhs.

There is an internship at the end of 3rd yesr and from 4th year students get PPOs and get placed in various colleges. Almost every tech and other comapanies visit our college ranging from google amazon to reliance , adani industries.The Highest package of mechanical engineering ranges from 80-100 lacs and the median package is 18-19lacs. The percentage of students getting placed is about 75 percent whereas many other get to higher studies or UPSC. I am aiming for higher studies after graduation.

The students become eligible for placements after there 6th semester . But there is also a province of Pre Placement Offers where the students can secure there jop in the 5th semester itself.
