NIT KURUKSHETRA - My 4 years of journey.

Placements: There is a strength of 120 students in CSE in B.Teach. Currently, the median package is going on 21-22 LPA. Placement of CSE is at the top level as compared to all other branches. An internship is also good. You can crack placement/ internship off-campus ( I mean, there is a huge scope. Many students crack Google, Microsoft off-campus). Placement as an NIT is good.
