Recruiting companies were Sutherland, Infosys, CPGM, Biocon, TCS, Wipro, etc. The salary packages vary based on the position and roles offered. Most of the companies provided on-board training upon hiring.

My experience for Karunya Institute.

Placements: Placements were good for IT and other technical courses whereas, for Biotech and Food Tech, it was not great as companies visiting was lower. Recruiting companies for core fields plays quite a role, and the options given to the students are also fewer.

Karunya gives importance to spirituality and academics. There is no event or fest like other college

Placements: Nearly 80 percent of students were placed if they don't have arrears in final years. Currently, 30 LPA is the highest package. There are many companies that visit our college for placement purposes. We shouldn't have arrears, and our CGPA must be 7+. Then, internship opportunities are available. Currently, AIDS is an upcoming course. There are lots of jobs, like data scientist, and so on.

Karunya is know for it’s calm and wonderful environment.

Placements: The placements are great with various core companies coming in like biocon, biozyme, biozeen and Dr. Reddy's. They also offer very good packages and even other companies are willing to take in biotechnology students due to the wide spread curriculum that the department offers.
