A college with good exposure but careless management that seems strict yet is not serious.

Placements: 40% were recruited, as many chose their family business. The average package was 3.5 LPA. There were no specific companies. Some were startups, while some were banks. 100% got internships. There were diverse roles in management. Mostly, executive roles were offered in marketing and operations.

The review of The New College.

Placements: I am studying in my second year now, so I didn't attend or get selected for placement, but my seniors who passed out last year were placed. Only a few students for example if 100 students are attending the placement, only 30 members got placed. All 100 students are well prepared but there are not enough companies to place them.

Satisfied with college overall, studies-wise, but extracurricular activities also matter.

Placements: Almost 90 percent of the students get placed in my course. I am not sure about the highest package at the moment, as I will get it next year. EY and Deloitte provide internship opportunities in the college group, but mainly students have to search for internships on their own. Roles include financial analyst, accountant, etc.

Madras University carries a legacy.

Placements: It's a Language and Literature course, so we don't get any placement from there. But the course demands a one-month internship for the students. It's also a part of our syllabus. So we get an opportunity to upgrade our skills and experience. It's really helpful for further studies.
