This is the best college ever.

Placements: There was no placement for the Masters course in the college, but companies gave us good recognition for offering well-paid jobs. Hotel Management students got amazing opportunities through college placement. Internship offers from various recognized hospitals for our course were great. We gained good experience during our internship. The college had tie-ups with many hospitals, so finding internships was not a difficult task; however, no incentives were given to the interns.
