Campus is so beautiful and surrounded by mountains.

Placements: I don't have any specific idea about it, but at the time of admission, our faculty members told banking companies visit our college. Many internship opportunities are provided for final-year students. Placements are decent in our branch. But in recent times there has been a dip in coming companies. The average salary package of our branch offered is 8 LPA. The highest salary package offered is 21 LPA. Almost 80% of students got placed and others chose a Ph.D. I plan to get a good salary package ...

Engineering Physics is good only for research.

Placements: Around 60% of students in the B.Tech in EP are placed, which is less. Because most of the students do not sit for placements as they are more enthusiastic towards research or higher studies. Companies like Goldman Sachs, Texas Instruments, Walmart, Zomato, and Microsoft recruit students. Students can change their field irrespective of their department to different roles like SDE, finance, quant, consulting, or product management. The highest salary package offered is 39 LPA.
