My college is asia number one of tamilnadu.

Placements: 90 above and average package and recruitment process and global and IT value to improve ourselves and prepare for the course. The package level is based on experience and knowledge, companies only give higher level monthly salaries to those who are capable of working in the company. Many companies are offered in my college.

About good and enjoyable college.

I got an offer in 2 companies, Infosys and Base Automation Technologies. The highest package is 51 LPA, and the average package is 3 LPA to 5 LPA. 90% of people are easily getting placed, and have plans after getting the placements to work.

Great campus life, Bad ROI.

Placements: The percentage of students placed is very vague as a lot of students just opt out of placement because of their CGPA and they are not considered for placement. If you are an average student you can get around 6 to 7 LPA if you maintain your CGPA. Companies like Wipro and L&T are the top recruiters. Internship you have to secure at your college gives you almost zero support there.
