The 2025 placement season at Mar Baselios Institute of Technology and Science (MBITS), Kothamangalam, has commenced with a robust start, driven by consistent hiring from major information technology (IT) service companies. While official data for the full year is pending, initial recruitment drives reflect prevailing national trends, showing continued demand for skilled software engineers. The college aims to build on the success of its 2024 batch, which saw over 91% placement for eligible students.
Analysis of the Ongoing MBITS Placements 2025
The Training and Placement Cell at MBITS has reported that prominent recruiters have already begun their assessment and recruitment processes on campus. According to information released by the college, the initial phase of the MBITS Placements 2025 is dominated by IT and IT-Enabled Services (ITeS) firms, a trend consistent with previous years.
Based on an analysis of the preceding year’s final data, the highest salary package offered to a student in 2024 stood at ₹10 Lakhs Per Annum (LPA). The average package was recorded at approximately ₹4.2 LPA. Officials are optimistic that the 2025 batch will see similar, if not improved, figures, despite a cautious hiring environment across the broader tech industry.
“Our focus remains on equipping students with industry-relevant skills that meet the demands of our recruitment partners,” said Prof. Joisy M. Varghese, head of the Training and Placement Cell at MBITS, in a statement on the college website. “We are actively engaging with companies from core engineering sectors to create diverse opportunities alongside the strong presence of the IT industry.”
Top Recruiters and Sector-Wise Trends
An examination of recruitment patterns reveals a mix of legacy partners and new companies expressing interest in the 2025 graduating batch.
IT Services Continue to Dominate
As one of the top recruiters at MBITS, IT giant Tata Consultancy Services (TCS) continues to be a major volume recruiter. Other key players like Infosys, Wipro, Cognizant, and UST Global have consistently hired a significant number of graduates. These firms primarily recruit for roles such as software developer, systems engineer, and quality assurance analyst. The sustained hiring from this sector underscores the strong computer science and engineering curriculum at the institution.
Focus on Core Engineering and Banking Sectors
The placement cell is also focusing on strengthening its relationships with firms in the core engineering and financial sectors. Companies such as Quest Global and Poornam Infovision have been regular recruiters for mechanical, civil, and electrical engineering students. Furthermore, financial institutions like the Federal Bank and ICICI Bank have recruited students for technology and operational roles, diversifying the placement portfolio.
Alignment with National Placement Landscape
The trends observed at MBITS are largely in line with broader engineering placement statistics India. According to various industry reports, while mass recruitment by IT service firms has moderated nationally compared to the post-pandemic boom, demand for specialized skills in areas like artificial intelligence, data science, and cybersecurity remains high. Institutions like MBITS that emphasize foundational engineering principles along with modern technical training are better positioned to navigate these market shifts. The college’s proactive approach in offering add-on courses and certifications appears to be a key factor in its consistent placement record.
A recently placed computer science student, who requested anonymity, commented, “The placement training, especially the aptitude and coding sessions, was very helpful. Multiple companies visited, which gave us good options to choose from.” As the MBITS Placements 2025 season progresses, the key metrics to watch will be the final placement percentage, the median salary, and the number of students securing positions in core engineering companies. The performance of the institution will serve as a significant indicator of the health of the entry-level engineering job market in the region. The Training and Placement Cell are expected to release interim statistics by the end of the next quarter.
