    This college has better packages and placements.
    Placements: Usually, above 80% of the students get placed. The highest salary package offered is 60 LPA, and the lowest is 4 LPA. Companies like IBM, Zoho, Accenture, Google, Amazon, JP Morgan, Chase, MR Scallar, PayPal, Paytm, and Flipkart visit the campus. 60% of students get internships. Software engineering, full-stack developer, AI engineer, and MERN Stack are the roles offered.
    Infrastructure: We have facilities like Wi-Fi, labs, neat classrooms, modern toilets and restrooms fully sanitized, AC classrooms, a center of excellence, Pega labs, and TCS ion digital zone. The quality of food in the mess can be rated as 70% because they won't serve tasty food. The daily canteen has so much rush during lunch and breakfast time, but they provide good quality food. The college also has a health centre. They don't give importance to sports, but they have all types of sports fields and grounds.
    Faculty: Teaching quality is average. Mostly, they teach students using smartboards, and they won't teach technical subjects. The course is structured based on industry relevance. Semester exams are very tough. Only if a student studies clearly and understands the concepts pass the exams.
    Other: I chose this course for a better package and placement. The college should improve infrastructure and offer flexible learning with AI technology and technical support. Events and culturals are held regularly, and culturals are very nice. Especially the 2nd day of culturals is very enthusiastic and energetic.

    Very good placements in 2026. It has decent lab facilities, an average hostel, & sports facilities.
    Placements: I am from the B.Tech IT 2022-2026 batch at Chennai Institute of Technology. Around 95% of students got placed. Packages range from 4 LPA to 60 LPA, with an average of 8-10 LPA. Top recruiters include Amazon, Zoho, JMAN Groups, Capgemini, and Accenture. Internships and SDE, Full Stack Developer, and Cloud roles are widely offered.
    Infrastructure: There is no specific lab for IT. In CIT, we have common labs for all the departments. Hostel facilities are average, and the food quality is also average. Basic medical and sports facilities are available. Overall, It is not too bad, but it needs improvements.
    Faculty: Faculty members are good. Most skills can be attained only by self-learning. The staff will help in whatever way they can. The curriculum is very relevant and can help students learn the current trends. The semester exams are tough, but the evaluation will be very easy and lethargic.

    Placements: More than 85% of students got placed in my course. The highest salary package offered was 51 LPA, and the lowest was 3.5 LPA. The average salary package offered was 6 LPA. Amazon and Microsoft are some of the reputed companies where students have been placed. The software developer role is offered the most.
    Infrastructure: Hostel infrastructure needs to be improved, as the food is below average. Computer labs are very good as compared to other standards, and they are well-maintained too. Especially the centre of excellence has a very good potential, and they are using it very well.
    Faculty: Faculty members are always friendly and ready to help. Sometimes they may make harsh calls, but it happens everywhere, and one can tolerate, but the hostel faculty members, i.e., wardens, are mostly strict. They are also highly qualified and we can ask any type of doubts to them. They are very best.
