It is accessed with various resources, but it is not very satisfying.

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.

Guidance for MBA discipline in placements scored the least.

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.

Overall, the college is good but average.

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.
