Effectiveness of Placement Cell for B.E./B.Tech Courses at Gauhati University

Based on student reviews, here's what emerges:

* Limited Scope: Students mention that the college provides "very less scope" for preparing students for industries. This suggests that the placement cell might not be as effective in providing sufficient resources and guidance for students to secure jobs.
* No Specific Information: Unfortunately, there is limited information about the placement cell's performance, such as job placements, average salary packages, or internship opportunities.

It appears that while the college offers good facilities and infrastructure, the placement cell could improve its efforts to support students' career prospects. It is essential for students to take initiative and prepare themselves independently to succeed in their chosen fields.
