Placement Cell for B.Sc. at Rathinam College of Arts and Science

Unfortunately, the placement cell at Rathinam College of Arts and Science appears to be limited in its assistance to students. Here's what we've gathered from student reviews:

* No dedicated placement opportunities: According to some students, the college does not offer placement opportunities specifically for the B.Sc. course, despite being a recent introduction (launched 3 years ago).

* Limited local company visits: While local companies do visit the college for recruitment, the scope seems to be limited, and students may not receive adequate guidance or preparation for placements.

* Lack of internships: Unlike other courses, interns are not provided to B.Sc. students, which could impact their chances of securing jobs after graduation.

However, the college does offer:

* Industrial visits: Although these do not replace internships, industrial visits might provide students with valuable exposure to industry settings and enhance their learning experience.
