Good study material, vibrant college life and lots of societies to choose from.

Placements: I have seen my seniors getting internships at EY and Deloitte and also getting placed at the same. One of them also got into DE SHAW. For an ACCA candidate, the packages are the most lucrative, the highest being 24 lacs. The placement session happens every year for TYs. The brand of Symbiosis and the education we get make us qualified to start working in the industry.
