My review of this college.

Placements: Our college helped us with placements and other job opportunities. Our college provided internships. The college had a separate placement cell, any student from any course can enrol in the same. The minimum salary package during our time was 2.4 LPA. Several MNCs came to the college every year and employed students directly. Companies like Amazon, Tata, HDFC Bank, ICICI, TCS, etc., visited the campus. They also conducted an interview test and GD for the selection of students, and everyone needed...

Excellent academic environment and average campus exposure.

Placements: Around 50-60 students get placed on and off campus. The total strength would be around 350. The highest package offered is 15 LPA and the average package is 6 LPA. The placement companies usually prefer Computer Science and IT over Civil. The placement rate in the Civil department is relatively low (2 students, usually ones joining B.Tech after a Diploma). Top recruiting companies include Accenture and Microsoft. Most students completed internships.

The average package was around 7 LPA, and the highest package was 25 LPA. Companies like McKinsey, BCG, Goldman Sachs, Deutsche Bank, ITC, Asian Paints, BNP Paribas,...

Review of Bishop Moore College.

Placements: The college provided good placements. The college placement committee played an important role in the placement process. We all had to register our names for placement with the placement committee, and with their help and guidance, we were able to crack the placement process and get good offers. Companies like Tata Consultancy Services, Deloitte, HCL, Amazon, etc., came for placements. Overall, 80% of the batch got placed with good job packages. The highest salary package was around 35 LPA, and ...
