Trivandrum, December 8, 2010 – Indian Institute of Information Technology and Management – Kerala post graduate students have received attractive placement offers from TCS during campus interviews held last week. Out of 20 students appeared, 14 students of the first batch of the Master of Science in IT have been offered placement by TCS during campus interviews held between 2nd and 3rd Dec 2010. The offer package is for Rs 3.5 lakhs.
“This was the first campus interview for the first batch of the M.Sc (IT) programme and 70% of the students who appeared got selected. Students from IIITM-K performed exceptionally well in the recruitment process and TCS had all praise for the quality of students passing out of IIITM-K.” said IIITM-K Director In-Charge, Elizabeth Shirley.
In a letter to addressed to the Institute, Brinda Rani, Assistant GM – HR, TCS expressed the honour for TCS at being provided the status being the ‘First Company’ to recruit the students from the batch of students graduating in 2011. IIITM-K is also rated A+ by TCS for recruitment.
M.Sc-IT is a two-year Post Graduate programme, where the degree is awarded by Cochin University of Science and Technology, basically to prepare B.Tech graduates in any discipline for a career in the booming IT industry. The course is oriented to Fundamentals of Computers, New technologies and Processes and latest practices in Software Engineering. Regular course work at IIITM-K is supplemented by training in Interpersonal Skills including communication skills, logical reasoning and analytical ability and English Language Comprehension Skills. Lack of training in these areas results in poor performance of the students in the campus interviews. IIITM-K students have the distinct advantage that they are trained in advanced technologies and are also prepared well for interviews, Director Dr. Elizabeth Sherly added.
IIITM-K is shortly announcing admission to two more post graduate courses viz. M.Sc in Geo Informatics and M.Sc in Computation Sciences. Admission to a Post Graduate Diploma programme in Agri Informatics has already been announced. Students admitted to the M.Sc courses are offered scholarship under SPEED-IT programme of Government of Kerala.
