Offered by Saranathan College of Engineering

Review of Saranathan College of Engineering.

Placements: My batch is 2024-2028 and my course is Artificial Intelligence and Data Science. The percentage of students who get placed in my college is 60-80%. The highest salary package offered is 10 LPA. The lowest salary package offered is 4 LPA. Top recruiting companies are TCS and Infosys. Around 60% of students got internships for the companies.

Infrastructure: Labs are advanced and the quality is nice. But the hostel and other labs such as Chemistry and Physics are average in quality. The hostel food is now very good. My college is best for sports and many selections are held. The library is huge and informative.

Faculty: The quality of teaching is nice and some students are ready for industry. But the lack of time is the only key factor in this college. Everything is rushed and pushed to us. It is difficult to study, and it is difficult to process what to do next.

Mainly they will keep up sharp timings and any misbehavior will not be appreciated. They give strict internal marks.
