Less Interaction with college but very good for those who have passion in data Science field.

Placements: Placement data is not yet released by the college official. Also, in this year, May and June, most of the companies will visit campus, and this year 2024 will be the first time when students are getting placed. We can assume an average of 3 LPA and a maximum package can be of 6-7 LPA.
