Placements: There were literally 10% of placements offered to the whole batch, despite the college's USP of 100% placement when we applied. Our seniors got 100% placed, but currently, there is a serious demand for designing roles, while options like FC and other retail roles seem to be dead-end options in this era. The internship experience was pretty good.
