For those who sought placements, there was a large pool of big industry brands to choose from.

The University offers undergraduate programs in various streams with new age specializations that give students the edge. The placement record for the season proved that its students are much in demand and ready to fill these niche roles in the industry. For example, CSE students bagged career defining roles with top organizations. Some of the recruiters in varied specializations were, Data Science: IBM, Genpact, Cyber Security: EY, PWC, Big Data: Gartner, Fire Eye, and AI: Vintellus, Volswagen.
ECE students from the University were not to be left behind. Some of the companies and domains included, Communications and Signal Process: Airtel, Vodafone, VLSI & Embedded Systems: Ahoy Systems, Smart Joules, Robotics: Bosch, Infra IT Solutions, and IOT: Miconts, Irdeto. The glorious list of recruiters for BT stream included AIIMS, Biocon, CSIR, NCCS and IISC. These noteworthy names, many of whom are repeat recruiters, stand testimony to the strong industry connect NIIT University has built since its inception.
From 6 hiring organizations in 2013, the number has risen to 73 in placement season 2019. In all, no. of participating organizations in Industry Practice (IP) and Placement Process were 145. The industry practice projects by students not only offered them insights into the professional world, but also brought them stunning pre-placement offers. In fact there was a significant rise in the pre-placement offers this year as they rose from 56% the previous season to an eyecatching 72%. The students were clearly prepared to make their mark in their internships.
A lot of credit for the solid preparations goes to CIC, which has been conducting numerous training sessions and programs to imbibe value added skills amongst students. From professional life skills classes to talks with alumni and industry speakers; these sessions helped students with interview skills, resume writing, aptitude, as well as guidance from alumni and industry mentors. Way2session is another initiative designed to improve selection chances of applications from students. The placement results are a validation of those efforts, and have ensured that students step into the professional world with high impetus.
*for all those students eligible and opted in for placements, including 6% self-placed students. Past record is no guarantee for future job prospects
