The University of Hyderabad (UoH) concludes the placement season for 2024-25 session, with a staggering Rs 46 lakh per annum being the highest package offered — more than double last year’s top offer of Rs 17.89 LPA. A total of 550 students were placed across 180 leading public and private sector organisations.
The Rs 46 lakh per annum (LPA) offer was bagged by an MTech graduate from the School of Computer and Information Sciences.
Top recruiters included global and national giants, like Tata Consultancy Services, Deloitte, Oracle, Teradata, Intel, Pegasystems, Exim Bank, Novartis, Accenture, Micron and General Electric.
A wide range of sectors were represented, ranging from IT, analytics, and finance to education, consulting, and research. Educational institutions and foundations like Sri Prakash Institute, Aakash Institute, and the Azim Premji Foundation were also among the notable recruiters, reflecting the diverse career paths UoH graduates are choosing.
Prof Chetan Srivastava, chairman of the Placement Guidance Advisory Bureau (PGAB), said: “Despite a challenging job market, our students have excelled. The faculty, placement team, and coordinators worked tirelessly to expand our industry outreach and leverage alumni networks,” he said.
He also extended his gratitude to the vice-chancellor Prof BJ Rao, Registrar Dr Devesh Nigam, and the university administration for supporting the process.
Prerna Akhouri, training and placement coordinator, pointed out the shift in recruitment practices. “Online platforms like Zoom and Google Meet became the norm. Despite some delays in in-person interviews, we managed excellent placements and are running upskilling programs and untargeted drives to benefit more students in the coming months.”
