In a first, three Diploma students from government polytechnic, Nagpur have secured an annual package of Rs.12.72 lakh by Voltas limited. All three of them, including one girl, are students of Diploma in Mechanical Engineering and will be placed as technicians outside of India, most probably in Dubai.
Calling it to be 'historic placement record by any polytechnic' Dr. Vinod Mohitkar, Director at the DTE said, 'This proves that diploma students with quality education can also bag high-paying jobs with skill-oriented and industry-relevant training. This development is opening major opportunities for rural students through diploma education. Industry is looking for relevant talent having focused training.'
According to Mohitakar, on an average, Diploma students from Polytechnic get approximately Rs.3 lakh per annum. And the Government Polytechnic in Nagpur has been one of those institutes which have shown good placements for their students for the past few years. This polytechnic also allows other institutes from nearby localities to participate in placements.
Principal of the government Polytechnic in Nagpur Dr. Rajendra Mogare, emphasized the importance of the strong existence of Training and Placement Office (TPO) at their institute for effective relations with potential recruiters. 'Additionally, thanks to DTE, in the past few years, various changes have been brought to the curriculum of Diploma in engineering to make our students ready to work in industry. Irrespective of the branch of Diploma a student is pursuing, they are given knowledge of artificial intelligence. Furthermore, we have a Centre for Excellence at our institute where real-time industry projects are worked upon allowing a great exposure to our students,' said Mogare adding that out of approximately 600 students from the institute 582 participated for placements and all of them were placed successfully.
'Students have bagged pay-packages in range from Rs.1.82lakh to Rs.3.3lakh per annum. These three students bagged the highest pay-package offered. After taking additional training by the company in thier Mumbai office for a few days, these students will then head to Dubai for jobs. The company required trained mechanics who have all new-age skills,' said Mogare.
The Government Polytechnic in Nagpur also has a unique tie-up with companies such as Tata Motors and Wipro wherein select students from their institute are hired by these companies and get to pursue engineering degree in relevant branches at a reputed engineering institute.
