It offers a good college life with decent placements for commerce.

Placements: Around 55-60 percent of students from the commerce batch got placed through the college. The highest package I heard ranges from 5-6 LPA, and the average package ranges from 3-4 LPA. The lowest package ranges from 2-2.5 LPA. Mostly, audit firms, banks, and companies like TCS, Cognizant, and Accenture visit the college for placements. Half of the students got internships. Common roles offered are audit assistant, finance trainee, and business operations roles.

It is a better college for M.A. economics in Kerala.

Placements: St. Albert's College provides huge placements in various companies. Companies like Wipro, Infosys, Adani, etc., hire students. They provide internships and help students get a prestigious fellowship. Companies pay a prestigious salary, and the highest package offered is 25 LPA. The average package is 20 LPA, and the lowest package is 18 LPA.

Good enough if you want to pursue a professional course along with a fun college life.

Placements: Only a very few students got placed. Even if someone gets placed, there is no proper communication from the company regarding the job offer. The highest package received was 3 LPA. Top recruiters vary every year but usually include Sutherland, Accenture, and Muthoot Finance. The internship letter is provided by the college, but we have to look for internships on our own.

My personal experiences in GNC.

Placements: None of us had an idea of joining a job. 95% of my batch had the idea of post-graduation or higher studies or professional studies. Some of us sat for it, and I got placed. Selective 2-3 are good and legit companies. But most of the other companies were here for BPO.
