PLACEMENT CELL
Since its establishment in 1998, the Training and Placement Cell of NIST has been actively guiding its students in career development and industrial training.
The placement cell conducts rigorous Pre-Placement Training Programs throughout the academic year for students in all disciplines to make them industry-ready. Multiple training courses/programs in cutting edge technologies beyond regular course curriculum are offered by faculty of NIST through summer and regular semesters so that student are industry ready beyond academic excellence. The placement cell assists the faculty members to provide various on-campus training and certification courses during the summer based on industry need. Representative sample of various courses offered can be found at: http://nist.edu/summercourse/index.html. Some industry training programs are also conducted with 3rd party industry partnership. The faculty members of NIST from all streams conduct in-house pre-placement training as well as written tests and personal interviews. The Institute has tie-ups with IMS Learning Centre, Bhubaneswar, to improve the students' communication and soft skills. The institute has also tied-up with TIME, Bhubaneswar, to train the students in Aptitude, Critical Reasoning, Spoken English, Group Discussions, Technical and HR Interview skills.
Students at NIST work with faculty members and scholars at NIST in various funded research projects, and some students also get paid for research assistantship. In addition, during summer NIST students visit top notch institutes in India and abroad to work on short-term intense research-based projects under the guidance of eminent professors as a part of Academic Internship Program. As part of the industry tour, students visit different companies and public sectors such as Tata Steel, Vedanta Aluminum, ISRO, DRDO, Indian Telephone Industries, NALCO, SAIL, NTPC, HAL etc. to get industry perspective. The placement cell is also conducting Industry-Campus partnership academic programs such as the Campus Connect Programs of Infosys Technologies to bridge the gap between the academics and the industry
The visit and recruitment of students at NIST by hundreds of companies from India and abroad reflects the strong academic, research and industry exposure of NIST students.
