UIET students crack the code with 78.4% placements

With a record 78.4 per cent of its students getting placements, the University Institute of Engineering and Technology (UIET), Panjab University, set the stage for 325 new careers across IT, consultancy and core engineering sectors this academic year.

The highest package this year reached up to Rs 24.73 lakh per annum, while the average stood at Rs 8.5 lakh per annum.

“UIET has grown rapidly in the 23 years since its inception, and this year’s placement result highlights its rising strength. Strong industry linkages with Infosys, IBM and the Bharti Group, along with the support of a vibrant alumni network, have played a key role. I am very pleased to see UIET emerging as a leading hub for engineering talent in the country,” said Vice Chancellor Renu Vig.

UIET Director Sanjeev Puri, meanwhile, said, “The stellar placements are a testament to UIET’s continuous efforts to bridge the gap between academia and industry. We emphasize technical depth, soft skills, and interdisciplinary learning.”

Students received training in aptitude, technical skills, resume building, and mock interviews, supplemented by expert-led sessions from American Express and Infosys. Valuable alumni interactions with JP Morgan, Apple, and leading MNCs, combined with competitive hackathons like Ideathon, Technovate and FOSSHACK, significantly boosted their industry preparedness and career prospects.
