Placement Record up in Engineering Colleges

Salem: The campus placement record of engineering colleges in Salem Namakkal districts has witnessed a significant rise during the academic year 2006-07.

Placement officers put this increase between 20 and 30 percent. A large number of students have found plum jobs, mostly in the Information Technology sector.

The Government Engineering College has achieved 83.50 per cent campus placement this year. It was 75.6 percent last year.

“Out of 303 outgoing students this year, 253 have already got job offers,” college Principal A. Ebenezer Jeyakumar says. A majority of them were recruited by the two IT majors, Tata Consultancy Services (84) and Cognizant (55).

“In Sona College of Technology (SCT), 298 students received the offers this academic year, as against the 2005-06 record of 200. The increase is mainly due to the intensive training of students in soft skills and rise in the career awareness among them,” observes SCT’s Placement and Training wing head, Aa. Sevukamoorthy.
