How are the placements at Azim Premji University?

It's been 1.5 years of my college yet and I haven't heard of placement l. So I would not recommend coming into this college specially for placements. However, many assistantships are offered in college itself.

Azim Premji University emphasizes careers in social impact. Placement begins in final year. Top recruiter include NGOs, research institutions and policy firms. Average package ?5-7 LPA, highest is ?10 LPA. About 80% relevant jobs. My plan is to work in research or grassroots development.

The university does have a placement team which faculy and student led. Studnets become eligible for placements towards the end of their fourth year - last semeter. Approximately 100-150 NGO's come to campus for recruiting. The university does not promote private firms for placement but students can apply indivitually. The average pay is 20 Lakh per year. Many students after undergraduation opt for higher studies, so is my plan. But most of the master's students opt for placement and 98% - 99% get placed into NGO in top positions. I plan to pursure a masters degree after my undergraduation, preferably in economics.

Placement Cell is very active. There are various opportunities from different NGOs, grassroots' organisations, international organizations and think tanks. Average packages are around 50,000 to 60,000 per month.

Placements are not as strong if compared to TISS. A few good organizations also come like reliance foundation, pradan and azim premji foundation and FES. Around 90% people get placed every year. My plan after this course is Phd.
