2024-25 placements: UIET student bags highest package of ₹24.73 lakh
Anuj, 22, who hails from Karnal, secured a job with Cisco in Bengaluru, where he is currently interning. He had cracked a national-level entrance test to secure the internship, which eventually led to the full-time job offer for which he expressed gratitude to the UIET placement cell.
But he isn't resting on his laurels. After gaining a few years of industry experience, Anuj has set his sights on pursuing an MBA from a top business school abroad.
As per data released on Monday for the 2024-25 placement session, a total of 325 UIET students have secured jobs so far — 78.4% of the batch — with an average CTC of ₹8.5 lakh per annum (LPA).
Top sectors for recruitment this year were information technology, consultancy and core engineering.
Notable recruiters included American Express Cisco, and ZS, while firms such as Viscadia, FutureFirst, and Hero Cycles participated in UIET's placement drive for the first time. Over 100 recruiters visited the campus this season.
PU vice-chancellor Renu Vig, who previously served as the UIET director, said, 'Now in its 23rd year, UIET has shown remarkable growth. Strong industry linkages with companies like Infosys, IBM and the Bharti Group, along with a vibrant alumni network, have played a key role.'
Numbers on the decline
Notably, the highest offer in UIET, even at graduate level, is neck and neck with the highest offer received by the University Business School (UBS), offering post-graduate courses, where the highest offer this year was for ₹25.11 LPA.
But over the years, the packages offered have reduced. In 2023, Amazon had hired four UIET students for ₹45 LPA after offering ₹32 LPA packages the previous year.
Even the average package this session — at ₹8.5 LPA — is lower than last session's ₹9.11 LPA and ₹8.72 LPA in 2023. Officials said since the placements had not concluded, the average may rise by the end of the session.

‘Hiring scam' by colleges leaves engg grads in the lurch
Hyderabad: Amid a slowdown in recruitments, several engineering graduates from Hyderabad are being taken for a ride by 'fake' job offers. And it isn't dubious consultancies but private B Tech colleges that are at the centre of this scam, students allege. According to them, at least a dozen colleges across the city – to lure more students with 'impressive' placement records – are tying up with small firms to issue fake offer letters that, soon afterwards, are withdrawn. In some instances, fresh graduates TOI spoke to said they landed up at work with these letters only to find that the firm is a sham and exists only on paper. Majority of them are being offered 'trainee engineer' or 'trainee developer' posts with modest starting salaries of Rs 25,000 to Rs 30,000 a month.

But when I went there, I realised there was no such company running from that location," said B Balaji, who recently completed his electrical engineering from a college on the outskirts of Hyderabad. He alleged that the company hired hundreds of students in the placement drive, only to leave them high and dry. "When the company came for placements, we ran a background check.

So, we assumed it was genuine," said Balaji, adding, "But later, when it was time for us to join, we found that the company had deleted its online footprint. There was no way we could contact anybody either as the phone numbers weren't working." B Tech graduate, Praneeth Kumar, from another mid-size private institute had a similar experience. "While the company recruited 10 students, the management gave job letters to over 25. I realised that the offer given to me was fake when the placement officer kept giving vague replies about my joining and eventually said the offer was rolled back," alleged the CSE graduate. Advertisement material Students claim colleges have turned them into advertisement material to showcase on placements boards even when they know these jobs are bogus. "My college's publicity material claims I got two job offers. In reality, one company hired me as an intern falsely promising a Rs 3.6 LPA salary after completion. The other, which offered Rs 4.5 LPA for a Salesforce developer role initially gave May 1 as joining date but has since gone silent despite repeated follow-ups. My college says it's not its responsibility," said Nithin B, a ECE graduate. 'Only way to save colleges' reputation' Shockingly, training and placement officers (TPO) at some of these colleges admit to this practice. They claim they are forced to manipulate students and create fake records to protect the college's reputation. "In the last two years, the job market has been very dull. So, to help colleges show placements, in order to attract fresh enrollments, we have been drafting fake offer letters in one of the recruiters' names or paying a firm that's willing to give job offers to students," said a placement officer working with engineering colleges for almost two decades. He added: "It is true that these jobs are often only on paper." Another TPO claimed that the count of such colleges increased by at least 30% this academic year. "Earlier, only a few colleges used this tactic. Now, many are doing this. They call companies even when they do not have job requirements and are issuing fake offers," she added. Members of the Telangana Schools Technical Colleges Employees Association said the issue has been brought to their notice by faculty from different colleges. "They have even filed complaints about this arrangement between college managements and firms. Both parties are aware that these offers will not be honoured," said A Santosh Kumar, president of the association, demanding action against such colleges.

Chandigarh: Panjab University, Chandigarh launched its new-generation secure parking stickers for Day scholar students, for the academic session 2025–2026. The parking stickers were officially launched by PU vice-chancellor Prof Renu Vig in the presence of dean student welfare Prof Amit Chauhan, DSW (W) Prof Namita Gupta, ADSW Prof Naresh Kumar, director public relations Dr Vineet Punia, chief of university security Vikram Singh and some students, who received the stickers. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now The advanced stickers are embedded with a QR code for digital verification, a tamper-proof hologram, and a unique encrypted symbol to prevent misuse and duplication. The QR codes were securely generated in-house by students of the Computer Science & Engineering Department, UIET, who were appointed under the Earn-while-Learn scheme, by the DSW office, showcasing the university's commitment to promoting student engagement in real-time applications and skill-building. The stickers are printed on a high-quality reflective surface, ensuring better visibility during both day and night, and enhancing overall security. Student data for sticker issuance is being collected through the PU MIS portal, enabling a centralised, transparent, secure, and efficient application process. This initiative is aimed to regulate vehicular movement, strengthen campus security, and implement a modern, technology-driven access control system. Stickers will be issued to eligible day scholar students. Applicants need to register through the PUMIS portal and validate it through the chairperson. After the completion of the Sticker distribution drive, vehicles without valid stickers will not be allowed entry into the campus. Misuse, tampering, or unauthorized transfer of stickers will attract strict disciplinary action. Prof Vig deeply appreciated the efforts of the team for developing and efficiently executing this initiative, in a short span of time.
