The college must improve a lot.

Placements: There are no placements in my college. Few industries conduct walk-in interviews. There are no placements, no package is offered and no internships are offered. The course helps us to get an overall general view of all sectors, so it is easy for us to attend competitive exams.

Still in developing stage, bad placements, bad infrastructure and facilities.

Placements: Around 60 percent of people get placed in CSE courses and negligible in other branches. The average package stands at 5L and the highest package is 24L. Very less students get internships. Companies like L&T, Wipro, TCS, etc. Mostly call center roles are offered.

Insights on Course Structure and Faculty in Computer Science.

Placements: Nearly most of the students were placed in my batch, and it's still going on. Up to date, the highest salary was offered by Content Sack, a figure of 13 LPA. There are further more companies offering a minimum of 4 LPA. The company named Zoho took an intern from our batch, and other companies like Hexaware and Multicore also provided internships.
