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.

Code Yellow—inside a mock drill at Delhi's RML Hospital
Hospital staff are ready with stretchers, and doctors on the spot to treat the patients who were taken inside and divided in four groups through a process called triage where patients are categorised based on the severity of illness or injury and the availability of resources. 'Code Yellow' in a hospital setting indicates an internal emergency or a disaster situation. The doctors on duty at one of the city's busiest hospitals rushed to the emergency centre. Outside, blaring ambulances bring patients. Each has three patients. New Delhi: 'All doctors assemble, all doctors assemble!'—announced the speakers at Delhi's Ram Manohar Lohia (RML) Hospital around 4 pm Wednesday, declaring a 'Code Yellow' as part of a nation-wide mock drill to prepare the population at large for any hostile scenario in view of the escalating tensions with Pakistan. Similar drills were conducted at other hospitals and other establishments such as markets, government infrastructure, airports and community buildings. The exercise aimed at training civilians on how to respond to situations like hostile attacks, blackouts or when an air-raid warning is issued. The mock drills across the cities are being carried out under the Civil Defence Act of 1968. This is the first time since the 1971 Bangladesh war that such largescale drill was conducted across the country. Across the country, 244 civil defence districts were identified for the drill. In Delhi, sirens blared at 55 locations including the Khan Market, the NDMC building and the Indira Gandhi International Airport. The patients brought to the RML Hospital as part of the drill were first attended to by the group of doctors at the receiving area of emergency, who put coloured bands on their wrists. The green tag meant no immediate action was required while yellow indicated minor injuries. However, the patients with red bands were sent to critical care assessment. The black band declared death. The mock drill at RML Hospital involved 21 patients, each with different injuries and issues. One person with chest injury, another with leg fracture. Doctors from different departments attended to the patients. The RML and the Lok Nayak hospitals have around 1,600 beds each. Speaking to ThePrint, RML Hospital Medical Superintendent Ajay Shukla said this situation is not like other disasters. 'We do not know how many beds we would need. However, we are prepared for the worst. This will not affect the regular patients, because we have a different team of doctors and nurses deployed for Code Yellow.' He also directed the doctors not to leave the city without his permission. LNJP Hospital The mock drill here lasted around 20 minutes. LNJP Chief Medical Officer Anuj Kumar said, 'We currently have 50 beds in emergency, we will increase it depending on the number of patients.'
