Placements at BIT, Mesra

After Satyam, so many more companies have come and many more yet to come. Birlasoft came and took an unexpectedly large number of people. The second rounds have started for ECE and Computer Science. The approximate numbers are
  • Birlasoft 61

  • Relaince Industries: 4

  • Mindtree Softwares: 6

  • Amdocs: 13

  • CSC: 14
Mindtree offered a very unsatisfying package of 2.5 lacs p.a. Amdocs gave 3.6 lacs plus other perks. Google placement proceeding are still going on. They probably will offer 7 lacs. Wow, even IndusLogic is giving 4.25 plus perks. And 95% of ECE is already placed. With about 20 people having two jobs. That’s just one month of placements done.

How could this happen? Here in BIT?

Yesterday a student died of overdose of Drug addiction. God! Here? I was not even aware that we have a drug problem in our college. But seems like this is a major problem here. Not that major though. But some people are using it.

Extension Centres
Bit has extension centres at various places. The first extension centre was opened at Lalpur, Ranchi in 1984. At present there are six extension centres at Lalpur, Allahabad, Kolkata, Noida, Jaipur and Chennai.
Courses offered there include MCA, BCA, MBA and some others. Neither BE nor ME is offrered at any extension cente.
Though the course there be not at par with the Main Campus ( I am not saying they are bad), the students from there get degrees from Bit Mesra and it is equal to a degree from main campus. The students may switch from one campus to other by permission from the VC.
Apart from these BIT has overseas centres at Bahrain, Muscut and UAE
Companies which visted our collegein the last years...
