Hello aspirant!!

IT companies usually offer an average package of 3–4 LPA. However, placement record is quite good as most of the students get placed. I remember in our batch (2011), students from other branches such as civil, electrical and electronics were also placed in IT companies.

A few companies did offer a higher package(nearly 10-12 LPA) but they were foreign companies. If you want to aim higher, you should always look for off campus opportunities. I remember, one of the student from CSE department got a 72 LPA offer from a US company. Saying that, it obviously requires more efforts and you do need to do a lot of things outside of your course such as joining internships in reputed companies, developing software, doing online certifications etc.

Be careful in choosing the company as some companies back out even after you are placed. You cannot sit in for placement twice as the college rules don't allow it. Be absolutely sure of the company you sit in. For an IT student, placement shouldn't be much of an issue. Target high and work hard to achieve your goals.

Hope this was helpful.

All the best.
