There was a moderately good placement season in 2023.

Placements: Currently, the placement scenarios are not revealed, but top companies like Microsoft, Sprinklr, JPMC, Nomura, etc., offer multiple roles such as SDE, consultant, and analyst. Banks like Deutsche Bank recruit financial analysts. While the lowest salary goes to 6 Lacs and the highest to 50 Lacs, you can expect an average of 15 Lacs. I secured an internship at MultiGraphics Group through my branch, an opportunity many students have also obtained.

Best academics as well as fest culture with good placements.

Placements: This year the highest package for CSE was 62 LPA, with an average around 30 LPA. Also, companies like Amazon, Google, Microsoft, and Goldman Sachs recruit every year. Mercedes recruits every year. But for core branches, the ROI (return on investment) is not that great.
