Absolutely satisfied, not regretting a bit. Really good placement and learning.

Placements: Approximately 90% of eligible students with a CGPA of 6.5 or above got placed. Students who did not meet this requirement were not eligible for placements.

In the current internship cycle, 28 students, including me, have secured internships out of 130 eligible students, and the process is still ongoing.

My honest opinion about my college.

Placements: Placements have well-defined procedures. There is a big placement team that helps us prepare for placements better and grab a good job. A student who has studied decently throughout is guaranteed to get placed in a reputed company which provides the best profile to the selected candidates. Lots of companies visit the campus every year. The average package is 7 LPA. McKinsey, BCG, Goldman Sachs, Deutsche Bank, ITC, Asian Paints, BNP Paribas, Lehman, and Google are top recruiters.

Not completely satisfied because of placements in core jobs, but overall, it is good.

Placements: Placement depends on the branch. In CSE, around 80% of students get placed. Nearly 60% of students get placed in other circuit branches like Electronics and Communication Engineering and Electrical and Electronics Engineering. Around 50–60% of students from other branches get placed. The average package is around 9 LPA. Majorly, software companies visit our campus. Some core companies like Texas Instruments, Qualcomm, and BEL also visit for recruitment.
