Adding to this list, several educational and development sector organisations also hired from UoH, including:

This eclectic mix of recruiters shows the interdisciplinary strength and versatility of UoH graduates, who are not only excelling in STEM and analytics roles but also making a mark in education, research, and social impact sectors.

High Package, Higher Potential

The Rs 46 LPA offer was made to a student from the MTech program, underscoring the growing demand for advanced technical skills and specialised knowledge. This exceptional offer sets a new benchmark for the university and reflects the quality of education and training students receive at UoH, especially in areas like Computer Science, Information Sciences, and Data Analytics.

Behind the Scenes: A Team Effort

Speaking about this year’s success, Prof. Chetan Srivastava, Chairman of the Placement Guidance Advisory Bureau (PGAB), credited the achievement to a collaborative effort between students, faculty, and university leadership:

“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 also acknowledged the ongoing support of Vice-Chancellor Prof. B.J. Rao, Registrar Dr. Devesh Nigam, and the broader university administration in creating a robust placement ecosystem.

Adapting to a Hybrid Hiring Landscape

Prerna Akhouri, training and placement coordinator at UoH, highlighted the digital shift in recruitment practices, noting that platforms like Zoom and Google Meet were instrumental in conducting interviews and engagement sessions.

“Despite some delays in in-person interviews, we managed excellent placements,” she said. “We are also running upskilling programs and untargeted drives to benefit more students in the coming months.”

These efforts ensure that even students who weren’t placed during the initial drives have ongoing opportunities to connect with employers and build essential job skills.

The 2024–25 placement season has been nothing short of transformative for the University of Hyderabad. With record-breaking offers, increased participation across sectors, and an agile approach to changing recruitment landscapes, UoH has proven once again why it remains one of India’s most respected public universities.
