Jadavpur University Placements 2023: Highest Package: INR 85 LPA

Jadavpur University has managed to survive the recession to give its student a handsome placement package. My friend is currently studying there and their placement happens all around the years, unlike IITs where placement happens for two weeks or so.

Like most engineering colleges, CSE as usual tops the placement with their highest packages. The most popular recruiters include Amazon, Microsoft, Adobe, Goldman Sachs, etc.

Almost 100% of students are placed in all the branches. Here are some branch-wise placement statistics for the year 2020.

Another good thing at Jadavpur University is that most of the big IT/ Analytics firms do not discriminate between the branches and allow them to sit for their placements. This way, you can grab a job in any field that you would like if you develop an interest in it in your college tenure. 

I have friends from Jadavpur University and according to them, the department of architecture does not have a good placement record. But, here are some major pointers as to why the course at Jadavpur University is still renowned,

• You will have a great environment with typically exceptional student strength. 
• Jadavpur University, in addition, has a nominal fee structure.
• Students still receive placements in several top-tier companies, such as LNT construction, Infosys, TCS, Cognizant Technology Solutions, and more. Here is an overall placement report of Jadavpur University. 

Only a limited number of students secure placement offers while pursuing the course concerning Architecture. But, if you have the skills and a good academic record, then you are more likely to secure a better placement than others. 

Being one of the most prestigious Universities in India, IIEST Shibpur sees a lot more top companies for placement purposes every year. Jadavpur University on the other hand also has a high placement rate but oversees more core companies as compared to IIEST.

• Funds: IIEST Shibpur receives a high amount of funding from the central government annually, being a public university, and therefore has a better campus, more equipped facilities, and better tech services as compared to Jadavpur University.
• Crowd: Since IIEST is considered among the top college of national importance, it enrolls students from all over the country, therefore, making it a diverse environment culturally.
• Placements: Although, for students looking for courses in CSE, Jadavpur University is known to offer a 100% placement record with an average salary package of 19.96 LPA. Some of the top recruiting companies are Microsoft, Reliance, Samsung, Oracle, and more. IIEST offers the highest placements across the Information Technology branch with an average salary of 5 LPA.
• Course Offered: If students are looking for an integrated course that offers placement services, then the BTech+MTech dual degree course offered by IIEST Shibpur is apt considering Jadavpur University does not offer dual degree courses as part of their curriculum. But in terms of individual placements in the streams of Civil, Mechanical, andEE, Jadavpur University offers some great placements for students amongst some top recruiting companies.

Being well known nationally, IIEST attracts more number of companies for placements but Jadavpur University offers a higher number of core company placements across specific streams. It offers the highest salary package of 42 LPA whereas IIEST offers the highest salary package of 39.12 LPA.

Therefore, students can make a choice related to which university offers better placements depending upon the core subjects they are looking at studying.

My friend is a graduate in CSE from Jadavpur University and according to his experience here are the possible reasons you might be looking for:

• Reputation:Each and every institution has some flagship departments, which the institution is best known? for. Most of the CSE alumni of Jadavpur University tend to be highly successful. This has given JU prominence in the IT industry in terms of placement. IIEST has that same reputation for mechanical and civil as per his knowledge.

When my friend joined JU, only the ETCE branch was having the best placement. But according to recent placement statistics, IT and CSE also have reached that prominence. 

• Quality of students: Last year, the closing rank for JU CSE was 134 in the 3rd round which is quite high. This definitely proves the craze for JU CSE. As IIEST takes students only from JEE Main, it fails to get that much attention because of the top 3 NITs. On the other hand, JU is undoubtedly the best college under WBJEE, so it gets that easily.

• Extracurricular activities: You can participate in a lot of activities like Coding Club, Science Club, Linux User Group, Hult prize, etc. This will certainly give a great platform to learn and develop new skills.

• Helpful seniors: Seniors are very kind and you won’t be disappointed or refused any help. Some seniors also used to teach juniors on weekly basis in the aforementioned clubs.

• Active and responsible placement cell: My friend always used to see how the coordinators and OSD Ma'am worked tirelessly just for the sake of the students. Because of them, the CSE’17 batch had an average salary of 14.696LPA. JU IT and ETCE also had a similar kind of placement.

JU has a huge alumni base which helped my friend and his peers more than one can think of. Getting contacts and recommendations made it possible to invite a lot of companies for campus recruitment.
