It is a good college with infrastructure and best campus life.

Placements: Our college provides good placements. Top companies are visiting the campus, and students are trained for interviews. Mock interviews are conducted by the college which gives you an idea of how to crack an interview and where do you stand. Through these interviews, you will also understand how to interact with people.

The college has good infrastructure, bad placements and average faculty.

Placements: The college students got mostly sales roles in placements. Marketing batches can only be assured of placements. However, finance, HR and operations course students were tough to get placements. The average package offered for a sales role was 5-6 LPA. Operations, finance and HR roles can get up to 4.5-5 LPA.
