Placement Intelligence
Stop reporting placement after the fact. Start managing it while it's still moveable.
A live dashboard built for two people: the dean who has 60 seconds before a board meeting, and the TPO who needs to know which 23 students are about to fall through.
- 8 core metrics
- Department drill-down
- Anonymised peer benchmark

This is what your dean opens on a Monday.

Placement rate by department
Mechanical alert
The platform detects a root cause
- 40% fewer hackathon participations than CSE
- 60% fewer internships completed in Years 2–3
- Average readiness 44% against CSE at 71%
Recommended
Activate five MSME manufacturing internships for Mechanical Year 2. Projected readiness improvement: +18% in one semester.
Design preview using sample data for a fictional 480-student batch. In the product every figure traces back to a marked assessment or a recorded placement.
The underlying signal
A single number that says how likely this student is to be placed.
What moves it
| Signal | Influence | What moves it |
|---|---|---|
| Outcome attainment | Largest single factor | Weighted toward higher-order thinking, so rote performance cannot inflate the score |
| Internships | Strong | Rated internships count for most; a pre-placement offer takes this to full marks immediately |
| Access tier | Strong | Rises as the student's verified record deepens |
| Opportunity participation | Moderate | Hackathons, competitions, live projects, guest lectures with reflections |
| Verified skill badges | Moderate | Externally verified only — nothing self-claimed |
| Endorsements | Moderate | Faculty, mentor and corporate endorsements, weighted in that order |
It is a leading indicator
Your placement rate tells you what happened. The readiness distribution across a batch tells you what is going to happen — while there is still a semester left to change it.
By Year 2, the platform has calibrated the score against your own actual placement outcomes. At that point it stops being a model and becomes a forecast.
The eight metrics in detail
Every metric arrives already interpreted.
Placement Rate
Share of students placed within 90 days of graduation
68% — up 12% year on year. Your Mechanical department is dragging the number: 23 placed, 11 still searching.
Average CTC
Mean gross CTC of placed students
₹6.2L average against a ₹5.8L benchmark for your stream tier. CSE is outperforming by 24%.
Role Relevance Score
Share placed in roles that map to their programme outcomes
71% in relevant roles. 29% are in roles that don't map to their COs — flag that for curriculum review.
Time-to-Placement
Average days from graduation to first offer
34 days on average, 18 days faster than last year. Early-access internships are converting.
PPO Rate
Share receiving pre-placement offers
14% PPO rate against an 8% national average. Three Engagement Partner companies drove 80% of them.
Employer Diversity Index
Mix of company types, scored 0–100
Score 62. Heavy IT services concentration — activate MSME and startup listings to diversify.
12-Month Retention
Share still employed a year after joining
84% retention, top quartile nationally. Students with high readiness scores retain at 94%.
Readiness-to-Placement Correlation
How well the readiness score predicted the actual outcome
Students above 70 placed at 91%. Below 50, at 38%. The model is calibrated.
Department drill-down
The dashboard names the problem — and then names the fix.
| Department | This year | Last year | Trend |
|---|---|---|---|
| Computer Science | 87% | 79% | ↑ 8% |
| Electronics | 74% | 71% | ↑ 3% |
| Mechanical | 52% | 55% | ↓ 3% |
| Civil | 61% | 58% | ↑ 3% |
| MBA | 91% | 88% | ↑ 3% |
The platform detects a root cause
- 40% fewer hackathon participations than Computer Science
- 60% fewer internships completed in Years 2 and 3
- Average readiness 44% against Computer Science at 71%

PPO pipeline
The prestige metric, managed like a sales pipeline.
Discovery
A company views the profile, adds the student to a watchlist, or meets them through a hackathon.Engagement
The student applies to that company's internship, or attends its guest lecture and submits a reflection.Internship active
Selected and in progress. The supervisor submits a mid-point rubric.Internship completed
Final rubric submitted. A score at or above 4.0 out of 5 is a PPO signal — the TPO is notified.PPO offered
The company extends a formal offer through the platform, with a validity window.Accepted or declined
The placement is recorded. Dean's dashboard updates. Attribution is logged.
What the TPO gets
- A Kanban board of every student–company relationship across all six stages
- Filters by department, company, year and readiness band
- Manual drag between stages for anything that happened off-platform
- A predicted PPO count for the year, from live pipeline plus historical conversion

Impact measurement
Your vice-chancellor will ask how you know it's working. Here is the answer, before the question.
A locked baseline, in month one
Within 30 days of signing, Udgam establishes your baseline across all eight metrics using three years of placement records, your current readiness distribution, your employer relationship inventory and internship participation. It is timestamped and locked. Everything afterwards is measured against it.
A quarterly report, generated automatically
Headline impact against baseline, attributed impact showing which specific activities drove which outcomes, a forecast to year end with the levers to reach it, and your anonymised position against comparable institutions. No manual input from your team.
An attribution model you can defend
A placement counts as Udgam-attributed only if the hiring company is a platform partner and the student engaged with them here, or if the student’s readiness score was 60 or above at the time of placement. Conservative by design.
placement rate against baseline in a representative first full year
average CTC movement over the same period
PPO rate, up from 4% at baseline
the quarter each automated impact report lands, with no effort from your office
The Dean gets an executive view: eight metrics, trend arrows, peer benchmark position. The TPO gets an operational view: pipeline details, at-risk students, company engagement status. It is what makes them say yes.
Placements
Not more drives. Better matches. Lasting placements.
Internships
Structured, CO-linked, credit-bearing — not informal and forgotten.
