Overall, a good college, but there are areas for improvement. Placements are good and stable.

EY, Deloitte, and Accenture are top recruiting companies. 100% of students get internships. Top roles offered are management and consulting positions. A lot of finance roles are offered too.

Moderate, decent college. A good choice if you don't intend to write CAT later on.

Placements: Placement rate is 100%. The highest package is 32 LPA. The lowest is 10 LPA. The average is 16 LPA. EY, Deloitte, and Accenture recruit students. There are 100% management positions and internship opportunities, specifically in roles such as sales and managerial positions. I think TAPMI placements can be better, but they are not that bad to begin with.

Good college overall but not value for money because of low placement stats.

Placements: Placements for ECE are good, with over 85% of students securing placements in recent years. The average package is around 6-7 LPA, with top offers reaching around 20 LPA+. Students also choose software roles in addition to core electronics jobs. Recruiters include Microsoft, Intel, and Samsung. However, off-campus placements are quite impressive.

Good hostels and infrastructure however not that good placement.

Placements: Placements at the campus are decent, especially for students from CSE. Almost 75 to 80 percent of the eligible students usually got placed, and the average package is around 9 LPA-11 LPA for CSE and close to that for ECE. Top offers by the companies are above 50 LPA. Most of the top-tier companies or top tech companies hiring are Microsoft, Amazon, and Google. The lowest package offered is around 4 LPA to 5 LPA.

Good if you want a hill life and can afford it.

Placements: For placements, highest CTC was 68 LPA. The average CTC was 12 LPA. The median CTC was 9 LPA. For internships, the average monthly stipend was Rs. 38,000, and the median stipend was Rs. 30,000. These were the statistics shown to me during the 2025 orientation. I do not have much idea about this year. The placement offers and opportunities were satisfactory.

Amazing facilities, great faculty, and student life.

Placements: From what I've heard from seniors, placements are decent, with most students getting tech jobs. Few opt for core roles. Students who opt to pursue a Master's degree are excluded from the placement pool, and so are those who get placed through an off-campus internship.
