DSMRAU Placements

The Training and Placement Cell coordinates recruitment for B.Tech, MBA, MCA and allied health students. More than 150 students secured jobs in the 2024-25 season. Jaro Education made the MBA stream's highest offer of INR 12.67 LPA, while the MBA average package was INR 9 LPA.

Campus recruiters come from banking and financial services, IT services, education and healthcare. ICICI Bank and HDFC Bank recruit from the BFSI sector. TCS, Infosys and HCL Technologies recruit B.Tech and MCA graduates in larger numbers, while Accenture and Jaro Education represent consulting and education technology. Many allied health graduates choose clinical practice, government hospital appointments or rehabilitation-centre work instead of corporate campus recruitment.

Clinical workplaces such as government hospitals, rehabilitation centres and private clinics are common destinations for BPT, BASLP and BPO graduates. B.Pharm students may enter hospital pharmacy, pharmaceutical companies or research. For allied health graduates, professional practice and licensing requirements, including registration with the Rehabilitation Council of India, are often more important career steps than conventional campus placement.

DSMRAU Campus and Infrastructure

DSMRAU's 131-acre campus in Lucknow was planned as an inclusive environment for students with disabilities. Ramps, accessible toilets, tactile paths and Braille signs support barrier-free movement through academic buildings, libraries, hostels and shared areas. These features place it among India's most comprehensively accessible university campuses.

Separate hostels are provided for male and female students, and designated rooms meet the needs of PwD residents. The university also has an auditorium, sports grounds, a health centre and laboratories for B.Tech, B.Pharm, BPT, BASLP and Life Sciences. Its central library provides printed resources as well as access to digital material.

NCC and NSS units operate on campus. Students can participate in cultural and sports programmes that include adaptations for participants with disabilities. Assistive technology is available for students with visual and hearing impairments, including computer laboratories fitted with JAWS screen-reader software.
