IT companies recruit high numbers on big campuses. Vellore Institute of Technology (VIT) on Thursday announced that 3,934 offers were given to its students by three companies — Accenture, Wipro and Cognizant. This is higher than 3,603 jobs offered last year during a three-day placement process. "The salary offered by three firms was in the range of Rs 3.5 lakh to Rs 4 lakh, which has not changed much in recent years," said G Viswanathan, VIT chancellor. Last year, 225 recruiters visited VIT. This year, 40 to 50 have completed placements and 150 are expected over the next few weeks. At VIT, Accenture offered to recruit 1,688 students, Wipro gave offer letters to 1,162 and Cognizant 1,084. Some students also got multiple offers; therefore the actual number of students placed will be less than number of offers. Among departments of Anna University, Accenture recruited 204 students and offered to pay an average of Rs 3.5 lakh per annum. Infosys is visiting on September 14 (Saturday) and early indications suggest they may recruit nearly 200 from this campus at the same pay structures. Microsoft offered the highest on the Anna University campus with Rs 16.5 lakh per annum.
