Good faculty and placement.

Placements: The college has a good placement record with around 75-90 percent of students getting placed each year. Every student is so talented after joining this college and participating in extracurricular activities. The students are selected by top MNCs and high-paying companies.

Overall, the college was good, but not well-satisfied.

Placements: In my batch, 95% of students got placed in different companies like Sutherland, Foxconn, Capgemini, etc. They offered different roles due to their vacancy and the students' skills. The placed students also got good salary packages as freshers of nearly Rs. 15,000 - Rs. 18,000.

My college is very good.

Placements: This is a government constituent college in Harur with 3 acres and 9 faculty. Placement % is 24-36% for UG recently, so most students either go for higher studies or off-campus jobs. My college courses (B.Sc. Mathematics, B.Sc. Botany, BA. Tamil, BA. English, etc.)

Review of M.G.R College for the MCA course.

Placements: 70% of students get placements every year. The highest package offered is 5 LPA. The lowest package offered is 1.5 LPA. The average package offered is 3 LPA. Companies like Episource, LNT Finance, etc., visit our college for placements. Every student should complete internships in their 4th semester. Junior trainee is one of the major roles offered for freshers.

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.
