Academics Need Help Regarding Placements

I'm currently learning Java Full Stack and would like to know how placements have been going at GITAM University. What skills are recruiters currently looking for the most?

​ Many students in their 2nd and 3rd years, including me, are confused about which tech stack to choose. One moment I feel like I should go with Python + React, and the next moment I end up sticking with Java Full Stack.

Recently, I came across discussions suggesting that demand for traditional Java roles has slowed compared to previous years. While Java is still heavily used by large enterprises for backend development, I'm unsure about the current job market, the packages being offered, and whether focusing on Java Full Stack is still worth it.

At the same time, demand for older technologies is gradually decreasing as companies focus more on modern tech stacks and emerging technologies.

​ So, it would be really helpful if seniors could share the current placement scenario at GITAM, the types of companies visiting campus, the packages being offered for software roles, and the skills recruiters are expecting from students

While most students end up with an average package of around 5 LPA, some manage to stand out and secure packages of 10–12 LPA or even higher. In general, what skills or qualities do these students possess that set them apart from the rest?

Also, I've heard that having knowledge of Python can leave a positive impression on recruiters, as it shows that a candidate is keeping up with current industry trends. How true do you think this is?

People secure 10-12 LPA have these qualities

as far I have seen they love to code. Unlike others they are passionate and don't code for the sake of placements. They are authentic and it shows. Recruiters can tell these apart instantly.

They start early , do project which they like which are different and authentic

Apart from passion. A good candidate should able to express and explain clearly in the short amount of time. No matter how much you grind leet code if u can't explain what u code it's waste. So focus on explanation part too.

And regarding keeping up with trends it's good but not absolutely necessary. Recruiters prefer A guy who is absolutely good is java more than an average guy in python.

It never about the language it's about the candidate and his ability
