Bhubaneswar : Dream run of KIIT students in the ongoing campus placement continues as 251 students bag job offers from Accenture on 22nd September 2011. This comes on the heels of job offers to a record 708 KIIT students by Tata Consultancy Service (TCS) earlier this week. The selected students, who would be passing out in 2012, belong to B.Tech, M.Tech and MCA streams of the University.
Recruitment team of Accenture, a top IT company, was overwhelmed with the profile of KIIT students with 251 out of 412 candidates who participated in the selection process making it to the final list. KIIT is a regular talent hunting ground for the company. Excellent performance of students selected in previous years might have proved an encouraging factor for the company this year resulting in such a large number of job offers.
KIIT is the only campus of Odisha where Accenture visited for campus recruitment. Campus visits of Accenture, like two other reputed companies - Deloitte and Kennametal, for recruitment are very limited and includes only IITs and KIIT.
Like previous years, KIIT graduates are in high demand both in IT and core companies. Besides TCS and Accenture, companies including Shapoorji Pallonji, TATA Steel, Atkins, SAP and Deloittes also selected more than 100 KIIT students, whereas campus placement by companies like Wipro, Siemens, Capgemini, Aricent, Siemens and Punjlloyd are scheduled during the month end.
It is just the start of placement season at KIIT and most of the students of 2012 passing out batch are placed. At the end of the placement season, each student is likely to have two to four job offers. Dr. A. Samanta, Founder, KIIT & KISS expressed his happiness at the continued success of KIIT students.
