Some of the corporate companies and banking sectors remained as the active recruiters in positions like quant engineer, teaching, researchers, etc.

Lectures motivate students by their actions, which is disappointing for students with a lot of desire and wishes. General counseling is provided to all students once a month, considering students' concerns and worries. They took some steps to rectify it. Standards of college keep on shining. There is no space for creating disturbances and distractions in students' academic education.
