It is a nice place with good vibes and makes memories to always be remembered.

Placements: Definitely more than 90% of students get placed every year, and the rest students opt for higher studies or choose other career paths. In the CSE, students rarely opt for other non-tech profiles, and students majorly focus on SDE, quantitative, developer, etc., roles. Few students go for embedded roles as well. The average package offered is more than 30 LPA.
