How was the placement of ceramic engineering in NIT rourkela?

Ceramic Engineering is one of the least preferred branches in NIT Rourkela because of its limited scope and job opportunities. Moreover, it lacks demand in the country as of now. However, the scenario is slowly improving. Quite a few core companies like Vedant, TRL, OCL, etc visit for placements. Additionally, students of this branch can sit for companies from the IT sector as well as analytics so the opportunities offered in non-core jobs are plentiful. 

I asked a senior about the placement scenario and he told me that in his batch, 80% of the students got placed. The highest stipend offered was Rs. 35,000 per month, and the lowest stipend offered was Rs. 7,000 per month. A few major recruiters included Vedanta, Sera, Somani, Jindal Steel, etc. In 2020, the highest package offered was 42 LPA , while the average package offered was 8.75 LPA . These salary packages are improving every year due to increasing demand. Most of the students from core branches got placements, while the rest of the students opt for higher studies. 

Overall, the placement of Ceramic engineering at NIT Rourkela is great.
