I am absolutely satisfied with my college life.

Placements: The college is located in Salem, which is one of the tier 2 cities in the state. The company's exposure is a little bit small. Placements are very good. Many companies visit the college to hire students. In the last 3 consecutive years, 100% of placements have been provided in my department.
