Introduction

NIT Raipur, established in 2007, is known for producing some of the best engineers in the country. The IT department has an excellent track record of placing students in prestigious companies.

Personal Experience: Navigating the IT Placement Process at NIT Raipur

My branch was Information Technology (IT), and my placement journey started early in my final year. We were exposed to the job market through various company visits, career fairs, and mock interviews. My first significant interview experience was with Sutherland Global Services, where I was nervous but prepared with a thorough understanding of our core curriculum.

Company Interactions and Career Preparations

During my final year, we had the opportunity to interact with numerous companies that visited our campus. Companies like Infosys, Accenture, Capgemini, CTS, Wipro, and other local firms such as Era Solutions provided us with exposure to their latest projects and technologies. I remember having a particularly informative session at Wipro, where they provided us with a detailed training program and explained the roles they were offering.

Training Program and Practical Exposure

One of the unique aspects of NIT Raipur is its focus on providing practical exposure to students. Each year, different companies run training programs. For instance, Wipro held a training program where we were assigned to work on real-time projects, which helped us gain a better understanding of the industry. I recall working on a project to develop an HR management system, which enhanced my programming skills.
