Top recruiting companies in my branch are Microsoft, Wipro, Teach Zemmine, and mass recruiting companies. Top roles are learning about AI and how to make AI.

Placements: Placement is not as good as previous years because there are many companies like hiring a single from KIET group institutions, and most of the companies offer only about 5.5 LPA package. Some companies are there, but they are not getting good company in campus.
