Supportive faculty, decent facilities, and manageable academics.

Placements: AET does have a dedicated placement cell that offers training in communication, aptitude, group discussions, and supports both internships and campus recruitment. However, specific details like placement rates, salary packages, top recruiters, or internship roles remain undisclosed publicly. I am a 2023 passout.
