Good infrastructure and facilities, and a lot more to explore.

Placements: Around 70-80 percent of the batch get placed in PIE, while roughly around 10-12 percent of the students opt for higher studies and prepare for competitive exams.

Almost every FAANG, FMCG, and other government core companies like Hindustan Oil Corporation, NBPDCL, Nestlé, Jaguar, and new startups come to recruit.

Really good infrastructure and facilities and quite good alumni connections.

Placements: Approximately 90 percent of students are placed in my branch. The highest was about 80 LPA and the minimum was 10-12 LPA, with an average of 20-22 LPA. Many people still want to place in tech companies like Google, Microsoft, and there are also core companies like Jaguar, Tata, and many more automobile companies. About 50-60 percent are managers or team heads.

Poor hostel conditions, but great library and teaching facilities.

Placements: Now even IIT Delhi's placement results are not upto the mark. Even though almost everyone applying gets a job, the packages being offered aren't satisfying. The highest packages go to around 2 crores, while the lowest can go till 10 LPA. Almost all the top companies, including Google and Microsoft, recruit from the college. Quants like Jane Street and Optiver take in applicants of second/third year for internships. They give a huge stipend for a summer internship. All sorts of roles are offered....
