Message from Chairman's desk

Warm greetings to all the stakeholders in the Placement Session of IIIT Kalyani – my beloved students, companies visiting the campus for recruitment drives, and the training and placement cell of the Institute facilitating the whole recruitment process. This stage is very crucial for the graduating students as they venture into a new phase of their life to fulfil their dream. I wish all the best to their journey.

IIIT Kalyani, established in 2014, is very young with four B.Tech. batches graduating so far. However, the placement records of previous years are quite encouraging with continuous improvement over the years. The young and vibrant faculty members of the Institute have made sure that adequate knowledge is imparted to the students, making them ready to pick up the technological and management challenges in their career. With the kind of grooming we give our students in both theory and practical aspects of their engineering curriculum, I am sure that frontier companies in the domain of Information Technology will be highly interested in recruiting them. In the broader picture, I see this as an overall development in terms of socio-technical growth in our country.

It offers two B.Tech. programme in Computer Science and Engineering (CSE) and Electronics and Communication Engineering (ECE). The Institute is equipped with current state-of-the-art equipment/ facilities/ laboratories, and the faculty members besides teaching, are involved in a broad range of research activities and industrial consultancy. Apart from imparting quality technical education, we pay special attention on interpersonal skill development and teamwork among students, which are essential ingredients to excel at the workplace.

To emphasize on student-industry interaction, our undergraduate students undergo summer internships at the end of 3rd year of their B.Tech. programme. Such endeavors not only inculcate a feel of the corporate culture among students, but also help industries to identify potential candidates as their prospective employees.

We have the required facilities to conduct placement sessions, video conferencing, etc. to organize campus placement activities. We invite esteemed organizations and eminent industry personnel to visit our campus regularly. We envision this as opportunities to make students aware of the current industry needs, apart from building the platform for recruiters to recruit our students and establish a synergetic interface. In addition, we also invite companies to induct our third-year undergraduate students for summer training/ internships.

We look forward to build a long lasting and mutually beneficial relationship with you.
