Some of the eminent companies that participated in Department of Technology Shivaji University Kolhapur placements 2023 are mentioned below:

KIT is superior. It can now operate on its own.But it's still not excellent just because it's better than SGI. I would highly suggest not applying to KIT. The employees are terrible; they have fits of rage. The labs are subpar, the lecturers are out of date, and the software is outdated. Some professors just read aloud from books without providing any context. This is the awful state of affairs. Not only is T&P ineffective, but because of their conceit, they have prohibited certain kids from placement.
