Can we have an honest discussion about Bennett placements?
I don’t know if you guys would agree with me or not, but there seems to be a serious lack of transparency regarding Bennett University placements.
1. Misleading average placement figures
If you search on Google for Bennett B.Tech CSE average placements, the number that usually shows up is 11 LPA. From what I understand, that figure was true for the 2023 batch, when student intake was lower and the tech hiring market was booming. Even now, their official website still highlights this 11 LPA average, which feels questionable because market conditions and batch size have changed significantly.
2. Lack of placement-related student discussions
For almost any college/university, if you search deeply enough, you’ll find students ranting, venting, or discussing their placement experiences. That usually gives you at least a rough picture of the reality. But in Bennett’s case, that kind of organic discussion is surprisingly scarce, which makes it difficult to gauge the actual placement scenario.
3. Almost no negative reviews
This is another thing that feels odd. Every institution—even top ones like Indian Institute of Technology Bombay—has criticism and bad reviews online. But Bennett seems to have very little visible criticism (at least from what I’ve seen). That lack of mixed feedback feels unusual.
4. No updated company list for campus placements
There doesn’t seem to be a clear, updated list of companies visiting campus. The list on the official website appears to be old (mostly 2023 data) and, from what I’ve noticed, even includes off-campus opportunities, which can create a misleading impression.
Take LPU as an example—you’ll find plenty of people ranting, venting, trolling, and discussing placements. If you search patiently, you can piece together a fairly realistic picture of their placement situation. With Bennett, that kind of information is almost non-existent.
Overall, I’m not saying Bennett placements are bad—but the lack of accessible, updated, and transparent information makes it hard to trust the narrative being presented.
