My college is the best.

Placements: Placements are comparable to many top NITs. Placements are kind of nice compared to the rank you can get here. Almost 80 percent of students got placed from this college. Top recruiters are JP Morgan, Samsung, Apple, Google, etc. An electronics engineer is a role offered in my course.
