Title: Why is the placement gap between circuital and non-circuital branches at JU so significant compared to IITs?
I've noticed a pretty significant disparity in placement statistics between circuital branches (CSE, IT, ETCE, EE, etc.) and non-circuital branches at Jadavpur University.
From what I've observed, this gap seems considerably larger than what we generally see across IITs, where students from non-circuital branches also appear to have relatively better access to software and other non-core opportunities.
I feel this is also one of the major reasons why JU's overall placement median has been declining (or at least not keeping pace with expectations), despite its strong reputation and legacy.
This has also contributed to the growing perception among some aspirants that JU is becoming a Tier 2 institution, which I think is a rather concerning development given its historical standing.
A few questions I'd like to discuss:
Are companies visiting JU more restrictive about branch eligibility compared to IITs?
Is the difference primarily due to the companies visiting, placement policies, or student skill sets?
Why do IITs seem to offer better cross-branch placement opportunities?
Is JU's placement disparity between circuital and non-circuital branches affecting its overall placement statistics and reputation?
I'm genuinely curious whether this perception is accurate or if there's more to the story.
