Placements: Companies hire students for the BPO customer service associate role rather than roles like content specialists, teaching, etc. These companies offer the medium packages, starting with 2.9 LPA, which is not enough even as a fresher. Companies like Aon, Antal International, and PlanetSpark participate in placements.
Placements: BlackRock, Morgan Stanley, Accenture, and IBM were a few of the recruiters for the disciplines of MBA based on discussions by various placement offices there, and I rated 3.5 stars for placement coaching, which varied for disciplines, but for MBA it scored the least.
Placements: Managers, IT employees, and lab assistants get roles depending on our skills and capabilities, so the roles are relevant. Basic roles are provided. But some students are selected in TCS, Infosys, and HCL, and many of them settle in other states and countries.
Placements: In my course, 95% of students are placed. 29LPA is the highest salary package offered, 6LPA is the average salary package offered, and 3.8LPA is the lowest salary package offered. TCS, Accenture, Wipro, Infosys, Tech Mahindra, Colan Tech, Zoho, Dxc Technology, its all top recruiting companies, 90% of students got internship, mostly fresher roles are offered.
Placements: Our college has the best placement. We are currently attending drives from top companies. Also, we had an excellent placement coaching. They give additional coaching for our placements. This is very helpful for us to be placed in a good and reputable company.
