Placements and infrastructure here are absolutely satisfactory.

Placements: Many students were placed in the BCA course because the college had a strong background in this course, and the feedback of seniors was very high and reliable. Top-tier companies like Tech Mahindra, IBM, Oracle, etc., recruited. The percentage of students who got placed was almost 60-70. Roles were also good, such as sales manager, product marketing, etc. Packages vary from 4 to 15 LPA.

A decent college for basics but needs better practical training & placements.

Placements: Madras University BCA is a 3-year course mainly through affiliated colleges. Placement percentage is around 30-40% only. Average salary is about 2-4 LPA, the highest goes up to 5-6 LPA. Top companies include TCS, Infosys, Wipro, Cognizant, and Accenture. Around 40-60% of students get internships, mostly off-campus. Common roles are support executive, data analyst (entry), web developer, and BPO jobs. Overall, it is a good basic degree, but strong skills are needed for a high salary.
