I am satisfied with my college majorly due to the amazing campus life and fests.

Placements: The placement is quite average in our branch but companies like BPCL and HPCL visit our college for recruitment. Less number of students got internships and that too in software side, core internships are less as compared to software internships. But placement is quite good.

I'm satisfied with my college because everything is good until you don't try something to do.

Placements: I'm from the 2022-2026 batch (metallurgy department). Here in the first session of placements, only 18 students got placed (on campus). Out of 73 which means it's a very less compared to other branches and everyone is trying to get an IT job not looking for a core job which makes it difficult to get core companies.

Good campus life and opportunities.

Placements: Around 65% of students get on-campus placements and many others get off-campus placements. In my course, placements range from 8 LPA to 40 LPA. L&T and Shapoorji Pallonji are major recruiters. Only 8 out of 151 (5.3%) got on-campus internships. On-ground engineer and field consultant are the main roles offered.
