Details of MITS School of Biotechnology.

Placements: The institute has a placement section, but it is not very popular. Companies like Capgemini, TCS, healthcare/biotech firms, Deloitte, and Wipro recruit their employees from the campus. The average package is around 3 LPA to 3.5 LPA. The top package is up to 3.8 LPA. This is not my assumption, but the specific batch data. The college provides placement training and helps students gain more skill-based training rather than just bookish knowledge.

The infrastructure is really good.

Placements: As a current second-year student, I can speak about the overall placement reputation and what we hear from the senior batch. The placement cell is actively working, and the general sentiment is positive. The placement rate for the BBA graduation batch is typically around 60-70 percent. The highest package secured by a BBA graduate is 4 LPA. The average package generally falls between 3.0 and 3.5 LPA.

Very nice college and faculty members are also very good.

Placements: Placement of the college seems to be moderate. The amount of placement colleges deal with this in a very confidential way. A total of 74 percent of students got their placement from this college. Some of them got jobs in Wipro and TSC-like companies. The placement is very good.

Good college, good facilities.

Placements: There are no placements for a degree like B.Com, B.Sc., etc. Some students are working in different banks and private tax companies. Mostly students got internship from different private banks and tax companies. More students choose to do M.Com or any course like Quant and CA. Average salary they are given in private jobs is 15,000 to 30,000 per month.
