Give an idea for developing new researchers.

Placements: Campus collaborated with the top search centres, organisations, ICMR, and CSIR for hiring. Emcure, Novartis, and Intas are the most expected recruiters in the campus drives for biotechnology graduates, with the package starting from 3.4 LPA to 8.5 LPA. Students with excellent projects and research are offered good pay.

It is surely required to concentrate on placements.

Placements: The highest package offered is 12.4 LPA, and the average package offered is 4.56 LPA. The lowest package offered is 3.15 LPA to skilled talents hired out from the campus drives arranged by the college. Prior training for placements should be taken by ourselves using the preparation materials provided by the placement office.

Helpful for a happy college life.

Placements: The highly rated companies would prefer students to do an internship in their companies with a good stipend in positions like copy editing, content creation, and journalism. And they always aimed to place students in good companies and good roles, probably with a pay of above 4.67 LPA.

Best for servicing but not for placements.

Placements: The placement team provides enough courage and spirit for the students to cope with extreme situations, too. They also arrange various scopes in non-profit organizations, private, and other sectors with at least a minimum salary package. The performance of placement is not good but okay enough for survival.
