Q:   Does WCC offer better placements than Ethiraj College for Women?
A: 

Ethiraj College for Women has a dedicated job placement cell and internships are an important focus for them, especially for students pursuing programs in computer science, information technology, commerce and management.Various leading recruiters like TCS, Infosys, Cognizant and HDFC Bank visit Ethiraj College campus every year to recruit students for these professional courses.On the other hand, Women's Christian College, Chennai focuses mainly on undergraduate courses in pure arts and sciences such as physics, chemistry, botany and economics rather than professional degrees.Therefore, large-scale campus placement through large recruiting firms may not be the primary focus or activity of Women's Christian College.
