The University of Calcutta offers a diverse range of placement and internship opportunities, though the effectiveness varies across departments. Notable companies visiting the campus include TCS, Infosys, Wipro, Reliance, Deloitte, and others, primarily recruiting for roles like software development, sales, and internships. The average placement package ranges from 3.5 to 8 LPA, with some top packages reaching 12 LPA and beyond, especially in departments like Chemical Engineering. Approximately 60-95% of students receive placements, with 100% placement reported in specific branches such as Polymer Science and Technology, and Jute and Fibre Technology.
The university's alumni network plays a crucial role in facilitating off-campus placements and internships. Challenges remain in activating placement cells in certain departments, and improvement is needed in on-campus recruitment, particularly for non-technical courses. The university is also working on expanding internship opportunities, with companies like ONGC, TCS, Capgemini, and others providing positions, though stipends vary.
