Good learning experience with practical exposure and active campus life.

Placements: I have felt that 5 ratings are not enough to give for our college placements. They give vast opportunities from the 2nd year itself from hackathons to daily training programs. They guide us and help us to secure a good position in an MNC with good packages. I have been placed in the HCL company which was not my domain but I have a great knowledge in the IT field also so what I'm coming to say is we have learned interdisciplinary fields to enrich our knowledge.

Positive learning atmosphere with good placements and technical exposure.

Placements: I am a second-year student, and I have had opportunities to attend interviews and assessments for CTS, Malaysia Internship, etc. Particularly, my department, CSE (AIML), has wide opportunities in many roles such as Software Developer, AI Developer, Data Analyst, etc. They conduct weekly coding assessments and regular placement training.

It is transforming lives for the best.

Placements: Placements are good. Many students get placed with high packages across India, and some students got placed in companies abroad. 100 percent of students who opted for placements got internships in my course, where experience matters more than initial pay.
