UIT-Placement Process and Preparedness
UIT Burdwan’s placement cell follows a structured approach to ensure students are industry-ready. The process begins with resume-building workshops, followed by aptitude training in quantitative reasoning and logical analysis. Mock interviews and group discussion sessions are conducted regularly to simulate real recruitment environments. Students in pre-final years undergo intensive technical training, particularly in programming languages and core engineering concepts, to bridge skill gaps identified through employer feedback. A notable emphasis is placed on soft skills, with modules addressing communication, teamwork, and problem-solving. This holistic preparation is reflected in the 65–80% placement rates across most branches, though disparities exist between disciplines.
UIT-Branch-wise Placement Analysis
Computer Science and Information Technology Dominance
The B.E. Computer Science and Information Technology programs consistently achieve the highest placement rates (70–80%) and average packages (₹4–6 LPA). Major IT firms like TCS, Infosys, and Wipro form the backbone of recruitment, offering roles in software development, data analysis, and systems management. However, student feedback indicates a demand for more high-paying roles beyond mass recruiters. The ME Computer Science program outperforms undergraduate streams, with average packages of ₹5–7 LPA and specialized roles in AI/ML. This aligns with national trends where advanced degrees in emerging technologies command premium salaries.
Core Engineering Branches: Steady but Moderate Outcomes
Electronics, Electrical, and Civil Engineering programs see comparatively lower placement rates (40–70%), with core-sector companies like BEL, Siemens, and L&T participating selectively. Electrical Engineering students often secure roles in state electricity boards or PSUs, though these positions are limited in number. Civil Engineering placements rely heavily on infrastructure firms, with offers averaging ₹3–4 LPA, reflecting the sector’s project-based hiring cycles. Applied Electronics & Instrumentation strikes a balance between core and IT opportunities, with instrumentation manufacturers and IT service providers both recruiting actively.
UIT-Recruiter Engagement and Industry Partnerships
Over 50 companies participated in UIT Burdwan’s 2024–2025 placement drive, with IT firms constituting 60% of recruiters. While Tata Consultancy Services (TCS) and Capgemini are consistent participants, the institute is working to diversify its recruiter base by inviting startups and mid-sized tech firms. Core engineering sectors, though less represented, value the institute’s focus on practical training—evident in Siemens’ recurring visits for electronics graduates.
UIT-Industry Trends Influencing Placements
The demand for IT professionals continues to overshadow core engineering roles nationally, a pattern mirrored at UIT Burdwan. However, emerging areas like industrial automation (for Instrumentation graduates) and renewable energy (for Electrical Engineering students) are creating
