Overall its a good campus. The only negative I felt is that there is no playground.

Placements: Am a 1st year Mechanical Engineer student. For my branch, around 20-40% of the students get placed, which is less compared to other branches. The average salary package for mechanical engineering will be around 6 to 8 LPA, whereas the highest would be around 12 LPA, and the lowest would be around 4 LPA. The top recruiting companies include Tata Elxsi, IBM, Oracle, EY, and several other IT-based companies that hire mechanical Engineers. About 50 - 60% of the students get internships from companie...

SCTCE is good when it comes to academics.

Placements: Honesty, placements are not that good. Core companies rarely show up for Auto, so most of us just end up in mass recruiter IT jobs. SCT is good at academics, but the degree alone is useless. If I don't grind coding or Machines learning on the side, I'm not getting a job.

It is absolutely good for the campus vibe.

Placements: Around 30 students are placed in the B.Sc. Physics course. I got selected on a merit basis. Many campus placements are provided as a lot of companies participate. Many students went for higher studies. Top roles offered include HR. It provides placements other than merit.
