Review of Sri Ramakrishna Engineering College.

Placements: They provide more placements for IT. For core branches, it is less compared to other departments. They give placement classes in the 3rd year, but we need to pay for them. They also offer certificate courses with lower fees compared to other institutions. It is good for IT students.

An average college, but it looks like a top college.

Placements: 80% of the students got placed, and the average package is 2 LPA - 8 LPA. Solitan and Zoho have no internship trainees. The average list of courses is not that big compared to the advertising the college does on social media and all platforms.

Good placement, but choose this college only if you are day scholars and better avoid the hostel.

Placements: In my college, the placement percentage is 75-80%, and the highest package is 6 to 8 LPA, and the lowest is 4 LPA. The top recruiting companies are TCS, HCL, etc. 60% of students got internships from my course in many other companies like TCS, HCL, Wipro, etc. The roles are Java developer, data analyst, etc.
