2024-25 placements: UIET student bags highest package of ₹24.73 lakh
Even before sitting for his final BTech exams, Anuj Kumar, a computer science student at Panjab University's University Institute of Engineering and Technology (UIET), has landed the highest placement package of the 2024-25 session — ₹24.73 lakh per annum. 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.

While officials cite ongoing off-campus processes, the slowdown has been noted.

Sushmita Sen was allegedly molested by THIS actor while shooting an intimate scene, walked away from the set in tears, never worked with him again, his name is... Bollywood actress Sushmita Seen was last seen on the big screen in Boss alongside Akshay Kumar. Since then, she has successfully transitioned to OTT platforms, earning acclaim for her powerpact performances in popular shows like Aarya and Taali . Known for being strongly opinionated and voicing up for the right, the actress one stood up for herself and stormed off the set after filming an intimate scene with actor Mithun Chakraborty, accusing him of inappropriate behaviour. The controversy occurred on the sets of Chingaari (2006), when Mithun Chakraborty got carried away while filming an intimate scene with Sushmita, leading to palpable friction between the two. Rumours surfaced that Sushmita walked away, crying, after Mithun touched her inappropriately. She also reported the problem to director Kalpana G. Lajmi, who assured her that it was just a misunderstanding. Sources later claimed that Sushmita reconsidered the situation, and felt that things just blew out of proportion. She, then resolved the matter privately with Mithun. However, none of them have ever addressed the matter publicly or confirmed this incident. Another controversy that surrounded around the film Chingaari involved Sushmita and newcomer Anuj Sawhney, who played a postman in love with Sushmita's character, a sex worker. During the promotional phase, Anuj reportedly boasted about her kissing sequence with her, claiming that it took 36 retakes. The remarks enraged Sushmita and she refused to promote the film at all. Director Kalpana revealed losing out two months of publicity due to the ongoing rift. Sushmita Sen and Anuj Sawhney Anuj eventually apologised Sushmita for his behaviour, which director acknowledged his mistake publicly. While she felt why Sushmita felt bad about Anuj remarks, she admitted feeling disappointed as the director and how the whole film was being publicised. In an interview with Hindustan Times, Kalpana shared, 'I don't think that a film like Chingari should be publicised in such a manner. I felt extremely hurt when Anuj gave importance to the kiss sequence rather than the whole message behind the film.' Controversises aside, when Sushmita was asked about her experience of portraying Basanti in Chingaari, she said it was emotionally taxing. In a conversation with Hindustan Times, the actress said that playing a sex worker took a toll on her psyche, leaving her feeling uneasy and emotionally drained.

During initial investigation, it appeared that the aim of these people was to create tension under the guise of the agitation. Such elements had also made an abortive bid to cause inconvenience to devotees and tourists on the occasion of Buddha Jayanti on Monday."He said on Wednesday, the Bodh Gaya police received a written application from one Anuj Kumar Gupta, a resident of Bodh Gaya."Anuj mentioned that when he reached near the main gate of Mahabodhi Mahavihara on the way home from his shop, some people surrounded him shouting slogans and started beating him up and also abused him. Due to the intervention of other people present there and the police force, he was rescued from those anti-socials," said the the wake of application by Anuj, and after scanning of CCTV footage, Bhante Vinacharya was arrested.
