Placements: I have heard from good seniors that this college is well known for its replacements. Students get placed with a very good salary package that ranges from 2-10 LPA from well-known companies. More than 80% of the students from our course got an internship. I too have high hopes and this college has a very good reputation among all colleges.
Placements: The college does not provide any placements for undergraduate students. Most of the students go for higher studies because it will help them to land high packaged salaries. Internship is not mandatory for undergraduate students but if they are interested to do any they need to find by themselves.
