The best college for placements.

Placements: Around 60-70 percent of students are placed in this course. Almost everyone chooses non-core jobs over core jobs due to the very low placement package in core jobs. The highest package is 51 LPA, and the average is around 18 LPA. The companies Indian Oil Corporation, BASF, ONGC, etc.
