One of my friends recently graduated from VEL Tech University and according to him, IT usually gets more companies than other departments such as MECH, EEE, AUTO, and AERO. 

A few students get placed in the core sectors; however, these core sector companies have limited vacancies, and they want students who are experienced (meaning they have held an internship or completed some projects), and they don't want to waste time training freshmen. 

You don't need to look for a job to get better placements; instead, you should master abilities in a specific field better than everyone else, then apply to the firms/companies, and you will almost certainly get hired.

Here is the highlight of the recent placement drive at the institute. 

• The placement average for the institute is 89%.
• The average CTC offered by the institute is 17 LPA. While the highest CTC offered is 28 LPA.
• The major recruiters at the institute are Dell, TCS, Infosys, Amazon, Byju’s, etc. 
• Almost 75% of students participate in internships. 

The institute has a great placement cell that attracts a large number of enterprises with higher packages. In addition, twice-weekly career guidance workshops are held. Professors with advanced degrees are assigned to teach online tests, which are administered under the supervision of a knowledgeable teaching team.
