JNTU College of Engineering, Vizianagaram (now part of JNTU-Gurajada, Vizianagaram), has established itself as a significant hub for technical talent in the North Coastal region of Andhra Pradesh. The 2025 placement season continues the institution's trend of providing diverse career opportunities for its B.Tech, M.Tech, and MCA students. Despite global shifts in the hiring landscape, the college has maintained a steady flow of campus drives, particularly in the Information Technology, Software Development, and Core Engineering sectors.
The placement ecosystem at JNTU-GV is driven by a dedicated Directorate of Industrial Relations and Placements (DIR&P), which emphasizes not just employment, but the overall "career readiness" of its graduates.
The 2025 batch has seen active participation from several multinational corporations and niche technology firms. Early reports and NIRF data indicate a consistent performance across the flagship B.Tech branches.
Diverse Industry Presence: Recruitment is balanced between software services (IT), product-based companies, and core engineering firms (especially in Mechanical and Civil sectors).
Sector Dominance: The IT sector continues to be the largest recruiter, followed by Manufacturing, VLSI/Embedded Systems, and Infrastructure.
Branch Performance: Computer Science and Engineering (CSE) and Information Technology (IT) typically lead in terms of the number of offers, while Mechanical and Civil branches see strong recruitment from core infrastructure firms.
Salary trends for the 2025 academic session reflect the institution's standing as a premier state-government technical college.
Note: While the typical high-end offers range between 7-10 LPA for campus drives, exceptionally skilled students have historically secured off-campus packages exceeding 20-30 LPA at major tech giants.
The college attracts a mix of consistent "mass recruiters" and specialized technical employers. Frequent visitors to the Vizianagaram campus include:
Software & IT Services: TCS (Tata Consultancy Services), Infosys, Wipro, Cognizant, Tech Mahindra, and Hexaware.
Product & Tech Companies: Amazon, IBM, Oracle, Cyient Ltd, and Drishya AI Labs.
Core Engineering & Infrastructure: L&T Constructions (Larsen & Toubro), Medha Servo Drives, Efftronics Systems, and Moschip Technologies (VLSI).
Telecommunications & Others: Airtel, Broadcom, and Pennant Technologies.
The Directorate of Industrial Relations and Placements (DIR&P) at JNTU-GV is the central nervous system for all career-related activities. Its functions extend far beyond simply inviting companies to campus:
Skill Development Programmes: The cell coordinates with the AP State Skill Development Corporation (APSSDC) and various industry partners to provide training in Python, Data Science, AI/ML, and Java.
Soft Skills Training: Regular workshops are held to improve students' communication, quantitative aptitude, and logical reasoning—essential for clearing the initial rounds of recruitment.
Mock Recruitment Drives: To reduce "placement anxiety," the cell conducts mock group discussions and technical interviews led by alumni and industry experts.
Entrepreneurship Support: Through the Innovation and Entrepreneurship cell, the university assists students who wish to launch their own ventures rather than pursue traditional employment.
Industrial Interaction Events: The university organizes tech fests like Ecentra (ECE), Cresence (CSE), and Mechano (Mechanical), which often feature industry leaders as guests, allowing for informal networking.
Internships have become a mandatory pillar of the JNTU-GV curriculum, ensuring that students gain practical exposure before their final placements.
AP LMS & APSCHE Collaboration: The college uses the AP LMS portal and APSCHE guidelines to connect students with over 100+ verified companies for summer and semester-long internships.
Paid vs. Unpaid: While many internships in core sectors are learning-oriented, several IT and software firms offer stipends ranging from INR 10,000 to 30,000 per month.
Roles Offered: Common internship roles include Software Intern, Data Analyst, VLSI Design Trainee, and Site Engineer.
Pre-Placement Offers (PPOs): A significant number of students who intern with firms like Pennant Technologies or Miracle Software often receive full-time job offers (PPOs) based on their internship performance.
