JECRC sets new benchmark with impressive female placements in a landmark year for career empowerment
In a major step toward gender-inclusive higher education and professional success, JECRC University has set a new benchmark by achieving
35% female representation
in its 2025 placement season. Out of over 2,230 students placed so far this academic year, a significant share of offers went to
women students,
a feat that underscores the university's commitment to empowering women through quality education and career readiness.
This milestone is part of a broader success story at
JECRC University
, which has now crossed
12,030 placement offers in the past five years
, positioning itself among the top private universities in India for career outcomes. With a campus that promotes diversity, innovation, and hands-on training, JECRC is not just creating job-ready graduates—it's creating leaders, especially among
young women in STEM and business disciplines.
Women leading the way in campus recruitment
As global companies increasingly seek balanced and inclusive talent pools, JECRC's female students are rising to the occasion. Women from engineering, management, commerce, and IT backgrounds were among the
876 students
who secured job offers above ₹7 LPA this year. In fact, the
highest package of ₹33 LPA
was also achieved in a technical discipline—a strong signal that women are not only participating in traditionally male-dominated fields but excelling in them.
With
35% of all placement offers
going to female students, JECRC University stands out as a
beacon of gender inclusio
n in higher education. This figure marks one of the highest female placement ratios in a private Indian university and is especially notable in engineering and tech domains where women have been historically underrepresented.
Speaking about the achievement,
Mr. Arpit Agrawal
, Vice Chairperson of JECRC University, said:
'At JECRC, we believe that women have a critical role to play in the workforce of tomorrow. Our job is to create the right platform, mentorship, and opportunity to help them thrive. The success of our female students is not only a reflection of their dedication but also of the inclusive environment we've built.'
Industry trust and broad-based success
In the current academic year alone,
over 140 companies
have recruited from JECRC's campus, with
global IT firms like TCS, Accenture, Capgemini, and LTI Mindtree
making 8
60 offers collectively
. Of these, a sizeable number went to
female candidates,
particularly in roles involving cloud computing, software development, and business analysis.
Fortune 500 companies extended 825 offers
, with several of JECRC's women students placed in high-impact roles. Even in non-technical programs like
BBA, BCA, and B.Com
, more than
125 offers
were made—predominantly by TCS and Accenture—further proving the diverse employability of JECRC graduates across disciplines.
A placement model designed for equal opportunity
The university's
Campus Recruitment Training (CRT)
model has been pivotal in this achievement. With over
300 hours of structured training
in aptitude, coding, communication, and personality development, CRT ensures students—regardless of gender—receive the tools to compete and succeed in global hiring environments.
Delivered by
100+ expert trainers
in collaboration with platforms such as
CoCubes, AMCAT, HackerRank, PrepInsta, and TCS iON,
the training is customised to individual strengths. Special sessions are also conducted to build confidence, leadership, and corporate communication skills among women candidates.
Further, the university's
academic-industry collaborations
have proven especially beneficial for female students. Programmes like
ServiceNow, AWS certifications
, and industry-linked curricula in c
loud computing, data science, and full-stack development
have helped women gain industry-recognised skills and hands-on exposure.
Celebrating student transformation
JECRC doesn't view placements merely as a statistic—it treats them as milestones of transformation. Events like the '
Placement Fiesta
' and '
TPO Day
' are organised to honor student achievements and faculty mentors alike. This inclusive culture has not only increased student morale but has helped female students feel recognised and empowered in their journey.
National recognition for a progressive approach
In 2025, JECRC University was honored at several
prestigious national forums
, where its inclusive placement strategy drew attention.
On
April 19
, at the
HR Success Talk in Delhi
, the university was applauded for fostering
industry-academia collaboration
and was awarded for placing students in Fortune 500 companies.
On
May 9
, during the
International Business Conference
in Bengaluru, JECRC received awards for
Excellence in Graduate Recruitment & Development
and
Workplace Culture.
On
May 20–21
, at
SHRM TECH 2.0
in Mumbai, the university presented its forward-looking CRT model, which now integrates
AI, automation, and analytics
to create future-ready talent.
Towards an inclusive, empowered future
JECRC University's success this year goes beyond numbers. It signals a
paradigm shift in how private universities can influence gender equity in the Indian workforce.
With its rising female placements, strategic industry collaborations, and a nurturing ecosystem, JECRC is not only placing students—it is shaping a generation of empowered, confident, and capable young professionals.
As the university continues to innovate and expand, it reaffirms its vision of becoming a
national model for inclusive education
, where both excellence and equality drive every success story.

Did Swiggy increase their platform fee from ₹12 to ₹14? Report reveals...

Indian online food ordering and delivery company Swiggy has reportedly raised its platform fee from ₹ 12 to ₹ 14 ahead of the festive season. It was introduced for certain regions on 15 August amid increase in demand of orders; however, it will be reduced once the demand slows down, The Economic Times reported. A platform fee is a charge that a company like Swiggy, Zomato, or Uber adds to each transaction to cover the cost of maintaining and operating its platform. The platform fee of Rs14 per food delivery order is inclusive of Goods and Services Tax (GST), the ET report noted. It is reportedly a 600 per cent increase in just more than two years, NDTV reported. In comparison, Zomato applies a platform fee of ₹ 10, excluding GST. Swiggy was the first to introduce this fee in April 2023, starting at ₹ 2, and has gradually increased it to ₹ 12 (pre-GST) as part of its strategy to strengthen unit-level profitability. Zomato adopted a similar approach, though its most recent fee revision occurred in October 2024. While these fees represent a small portion of the typical ₹ 500– ₹ 600 order value seen on food delivery platforms, they significantly contribute to improving overall profit margins for the companies. As it ramps up investments in its Instamart vertical, Swiggy has reportedly increased its platform fee amid mounting financial pressure. The move comes during a quarter marked by a sharp rise in losses. In the April–June period, Swiggy's net loss soared to ₹ 1,197 crore, double the figure from the same quarter last year. The company also reported a net cash outflow of ₹ 1,053 crore after accounting for its operating, investing, and financing activities, ET report said. Despite the deepening losses, Swiggy saw a 54% year-on-year growth in operating revenue, which reached ₹ 4,961 crore. Amid this, new competition is emerging in the food delivery space. Ride-hailing firm Rapido has launched Ownly, its own food delivery platform, which is currently operational in select areas of Bengaluru, including Koramangala, HSR Layout, and BTM Layout. Ownly aims to challenge established players like Swiggy and Zomato by offering lower commission rates to restaurant partners between 8% and 15%, compared to the 16% to 30% typically charged by the incumbents. Zomato introduced five price hikes in less than two years, resulting in a 400% surge, NDTV report said. Amid the Swiggy-Zomato duopoly, with commission fees reaching as high as 35%, restaurant owners are left with little choice but to raise their menu prices. As a result, multiple surveys indicate that ordering food online now costs over 50% more than dining at the restaurant, the report added. has reached out to Swiggy for a statement. The story will be updated once received.

Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi To Visit India On Monday

Chinese Foreign Affairs Minister Wang Yi is set to visit India on August 18 (Monday) for the 24th Round of Talks Between the Special Representatives of China and India on the Boundary Question, Beijing confirmed on Saturday. "From August 18 to 20, Member of the Political Bureau of the CPC Central Committee, Minister of Foreign Affairs and China's Special Representative on the China-India boundary question Wang Yi will visit India and hold the 24th Round of Talks Between the Special Representatives of China and India on the Boundary Question at the invitation of the Indian side," the Chinese Ministry for Foreign Affairs said in a statement. The visit is scheduled to take place shortly before Prime Minister Narendra Modi travels to China to attend the Shanghai Cooperation Organisation (SCO) Summit scheduled to take place at Tianjin, from August 31 to September 1. The Chinese side also welcomed PM Modi's participation in the SCO Summit. At a briefing, Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesperson Guo Jiakun said, "China welcomes Prime Minister Modi to China for the SCO Tianjin Summit. We believe that with the concerted effort of all parties, the Tianjin summit will be a gathering of solidarity, friendship and fruitful results, and the SCO will enter a new stage of high-quality development featuring greater solidarity, coordination, dynamism and productiveness." According to the Chinese Foreign Ministry, leaders of over 20 countries, including all member states of the SCO and heads of 10 international organisations, will attend relevant events of the summit, which, Jiakun said, will be the "largest summit in scale since the establishment of the SCO." This will be PM Modi's first visit to China since the Galwan clash in 2020, which severely strained bilateral ties. The breakthrough in bilateral talks, first after the Galwan Valley face-off between the soldiers of the two countries at the Line of Actual Control (LAC) in June 2020, was made possible after India and China reached an agreement on patrolling along the nearly 3500-km LAC to end the four-year-long border confrontation. In July, External Affairs Minister S. Jaishankar visited China to attend the Meeting of the Council of the Ministers of Foreign Affairs in Tianjin. He also held discussions with his Chinese counterpart on the sidelines of the meeting. He also called on Chinese President Xi Jinping, along with his fellow SCO Foreign Ministers. Earlier in June, Defence Minister Rajnath Singh visited China to attend the SCO Defence Ministers Meeting. India had refused to endorse the joint declaration at the SCO Defence Ministers' meeting, citing the exclusion of concerns around terrorism as a key reason. India stated that it wanted concerns about terrorism reflected in the document, which was not acceptable to one particular country; therefore, the statement was not adopted. During his visit, Singh met his Chinese counterpart, Admiral Don Jun, and the two leaders had a "constructive and forward-looking exchange of views" on issues related to bilateral ties. In June, National Security Advisor (NSA) Ajit Doval also visited China to attend the 20th Meeting of the SCO Security Council Secretaries. In his intervention at the meeting, he highlighted the need to shun double standards in the fight against terrorism and take decisive actions against UN-proscribed terrorists and entities like LeT, JeM and their proxies and dismantle their terror eco-systems.
