    Jadavpur Placement: Recruiters

    Jadavpur offers BE as well as a BTech degree in Instrumentation and Electronics Engineering where BE is a three-year programme and BTech, a four-year one. The BE group’s average salary was twice that of the BTech one. This may have been a result of the very sharp difference in the maximum salaries of the two groups — the top salary for BTech was Rs 6.5 lakh whereas the top salary for BE was nearly five times that, Rs 33.7 lakh.
