The college has good infrastructure and facilities.

Placements: The placements for computer science and metallurgy are better than in other departments. Recruiting companies are average. I think the highest package offered in my course is 8 Lacs per annum. For mechanical engineering, the lowest package is 1.5 Lacs per annum.

I am averagely satisfied with the college.

Placements: In the CSE branch course nearly 90-100 % of students who attended the campus interview got placed with a average package of 4-5 LPA. The top recruiting companies are Zoho and Chezhatronics. The highest package was around 7 LPA. Overall the placement is not that good because of the location. Salem doesn't attract a lot of recruiting companies as Coimbatore and Chennai.

I recommend this college for students from poor backgrounds.

Placements: 8 out 120 students got placed in our department, that is below 5%. The average package offered is below 3 Lacs per annum, and half of them got placed in the IT sector. The remaining students got placed in core companies. All of them got internships in their third year holidays.

Government College of engineering is good.

Placements: Nearly 60 percent of students got placement in core and software companies. Maximum salary is 40k in my batch and minimum is 15k in my batch. Larcen, Turbo and Accenture are the top recruiting companies. Roles offered is of Design Engineer at Larsen and turbo company. The highest salary is 40k, the lowest is 12k, average is 20k in my batch students. No one went for internship in my batch because all did projects inside campus during last semester.

Review of Government College of Engineering, Salem.

Placements: Placements in our college are decent. Like other colleges, IT placements are even higher than the core base recruitment. About 80-90% of students will get placed in the placement time. For each batch and for each department, a placement coordinator is appointed, and they will be informing all the details to the students.

Review of Government College of Engineering, Salem.

Placements: Above 50% of the students in the college will get placements through campus interviews. Most requirements come from the information and technology (IT) field. The average salary package offered is 3.5 LPA, and the highest salary package offered is 7 LPA. Don't expect core companies. Companies like Zoho, Accenture, and TCS visit our campus.

There is value for money, but recently, the placement percentage is low.

Placements: The percent of students who get placements depends on the branch of engineering. From the metallurgy department, there are 100% placements. In circuit branches, the placement rate is around 80%-90%. From the core branches, only 50%-60% of students get placed. Top recruiting companies are available only for circuit branches. The highest salary package offered for a software developer role is around 7 LPA-9 LPA. The lowest salary package offered for a site engineer is around 1.5 LPA-2 LPA.

Overall, our college is good, but don't expect things like huge buildings, parks, canteen, etc.

Placements: Our college doesn't surely provide placements. Salary packages offered to students may change from year to year depending on the companies terms and conditions. But not all students get placed, and only those students who have some technical and computational skills get placed. Our college doesn't support students to get placements.

The salary offered by the core companies is from rs.8000 to rs.25000. Our coordinators invite companies to take interview in our college if they interested. Only few percent of students got internship.
