Puducherry Technological University.

Placements: The average package is about 6 LPA, but the highest can be up to 18-20 LPA, and you also get an internship in big companies like Qualcomm and more. The rest is up to you, the harder you work, the more you will get. The T&P cell helps you get a job.

Absolutely satisfied because of campus life, good faculties, and good infrastructure and facilities.

Placements: Talking about placements on this campus, it's very few. Less than 50% of students are getting placed. Top recruiting companies are multinational companies. Only a lesser percentage. Top roles offered are finance analyst and finance manager.

Top-class facilities are provided in the college.

Placements: I have pursued B.Tech. Our course has an impressive placement record, with a significant percentage of students securing jobs in top recruiting companies. The companies not only conduct interviews but also provide jobs and internships to students. Most of my friends got placed with an above-average package, that is 10 LPA.

It has excellent facilities and faculty members.

Placements: I am very disappointed about placements because in this course, none of the students are provided with placements. But some extraordinary 5% of students get placed here. I don't have any idea about the salary package offered to students, but now mostly students are working with a good job.
