Summary: The placement cell at CUH provides satisfactory placement support to M.Sc. students. While not exclusively focused on Master's programs, students have reported receiving job offers through the placement cell. Here's a breakdown of the key findings:

* Job Fair: The placement cell organizes job fairs to connect students with potential employers.
* Career Counseling: The cell offers career counseling services to help students prepare for the job market.
* Participation Rate: Around 50-60% of students opt for placements during their time at CUH.
* Package Details: The highest package offered was INR18 LPA, while the average package was around INR4 LPA, and the lowest was INR3 LPA. Top recruiters included Infosys, TCS, and Samsung.
* Research Opportunities: Many students choose to pursue research work instead of taking up employment directly after graduation.

While the placement cell seems to be moderately effective in securing jobs for M.Sc. students, it's essential to note that individual performances vary, and students' choices play a significant role in determining their career paths.
