Absolutely wholesome learning and campus experience in 2019.

Placements: Placements support was extensive during my batch. The CCS team conducted rigorous placement preparation with mock interviews, GDs, guesstimates, etc., which were standard for recruitment processes. The average CTC for my 2019 batch was 11.2 LPA, with the highest hitting 17 LPA. All my batchmates were placed by the end of the programme. As per recent placement statistics, the campus has come a long way in just 5 years.

Infrastructure: The campus infrastructure and hostels are state-of-the-art. A fully Wi-Fi-equipped air-conditioned campus with ample open space and greenery provides a comfortable and conducive learning environment to spend a lot of productive time with peers. Classrooms are modern auditorium-style to enable the best faculty-student interactions. Food quality is far better than most hostels in the country.

Faculty: The most supportive faculty in all my academic journey. The best part is that the faculty have no reservations against spending time with you post-lectures to clear your doubts and ensure that you have learned as much as possible. The level of personal mentorship is quite high. The curriculum is adapted every year to meet the changing needs of the industry and ensure that students are ready for the long term.

Other: I chose the course because, with 5+ years of experience, I did not want to take a long break from work. The 1-year programme helped me switch careers, get into management, and significantly increase my income in just 1 year. Being among the first ones to be placed, I could have the mind space to help my peers with their placement preparations and participate in a number of extracurricular activities, despite it being a rigorous programme in itself.
