Satisfied but placements are decreasing due to recession.

Placements: Placements for EE students are quite good in NIT DGP. EE ranks second among all branches in percentage of student placed and average package. Top roles include SDE, GET, etc. Almost all the companies are open for EE ( core, tech, etc.). And same goes for internships too.
