Jobs galore at engineering colleges, pay offers up 15%; highest at Rs 39L

Tech institutes beat economic slowdown; salary packages up 10-15%

Despite a downturn, India's leading engineering colleges other than the IITs have found good final placements in top companies in India.

Both average and highest pay packages at campuses are up 10-15% from a year ago thanks to a surge in domestic offers. While there have been reports of the health of the Indian software services sector deteriorating and beginning to jolt the job market, this news comes as a major relief.

“Placements are very good compared to last year. Many companies are visiting for multiple profiles,”  RS Walia, training and placement head at Delhi Technological University told Economics Times.
