Good for aviation - overall average.

Placements: Our program has a good record of placing students in companies like Indigo, Air India, etc. Many students from our senior batch have secured full-time positions, while even second-year students have obtained part-time jobs on campus. While the number of companies visiting our college is limited, those that do tend to be high-quality employers, offering opportunities to a select group of students.

Absolutely dissatisfied with the college and staff.

Placements: About 2 percentage of students were placed in our college. Quintessence business solutions was the main recruiter of placements. M.Sc Chemistry offers jobs in R and D labs and quality analysis in companies. Many paint companies are in need of chemist for quality checking .

The college is not worth the money. Poor infrastructure and worse campus life.

Placements: I am still studying in 2nd year now but my seniors have told me that the placements are very poor, most of the students do not get selected. The placement companies are also not big ones. I have not heard any great thing about placement. They need to improve it.

Placements: Only 25% of the students are placed. No such qualified and well-maintained companies are coming for recruitment. The salary packages they offer are not satisfactory for the students.

You can join our college, and it has a good infrastructure.

Placements: Students who have a minimum academic percentage of above 60% in both 10th and 12th are eligible to attend campus interviews in our college. Around one to two reputed companies like Infosys, HTL and many more also visit here to hire freshers. They offer a salary package of around 3 LPA.

Our college is neither too good nor too bad.

Placements: There are no placements for my department yet, but for other departments, many companies came for campus interviews; this is because the course was started just three years ago. As far as my department is concerned, we are told that we might get a few companies this year.

VISTAS - good for certification and exposure in core level knowledge. Not good placement.

Placements: There is a poor placement record. Initially, they placed the students in some of the tier 3 companies and some voice process industry. I am the one who placed in one medium scale industry (dong Sung Pvt Ltd) and offer letter is not issued properly. Instead, they gave one dummy offer letter from some consultancy which is not even existed properly. I waited for nearly 4 months after that I am not getting proper information from placement department after I left my college.

Recommending this college at the rate of 80% for day scholars and 65% for hostellers.

Placements: The college is not just like engineering colleges to hook you up with a job via placements. Once you finish your course, it is your own ability to suit yourself further. An average of 70% to 80% students gets through the final year. Anyhow, the students who entered the college through counselling may get around Rs. 1,000 to 2,000 as a stipend I guess, and I am not aware of the current scenario as you can only get through NEET exams.

Absolutely not recommended for education.

Placements: The placements are not good. In our batch, around 4-5 people were placed out of 120 people that too in tier-3 companies. The highest salary offered was Rs. 30,000 per month and the lowest salary was Rs. 18,000 per month. The placement cell was formed during our final year but got closed before our batch finishes off.

Dissatisfied with the ability of this college of securing a cadet future.

Placements: Please don't expect much. Generally, the placements are about 9-11%, that too after lots of shortlisting. We have just 2-3 companies visiting each year, offering a maximum of 5 placements. Only one company takes those 5 students, and the rest take 2 to 3 students. These companies include K-LINE and MOLTA. Considering B.Sc, the conditions are better. We are expecting one more company to arrive.

Truth of School of Maritime Studies, VELS University

Placements: In a batch of 80, 5 on campus placement through K-Line shipping management and 3-4 outside through MOL Shipping. Placement is very less. Others have to pay to agents from outside and may contact companies directly which is fairly tough. Last year, only 4 were placed on campus for B.E. and 10 for B. Sc.

Placements: I don't know about placements because I am in 1st year. But students should have about 70% aggregate to attend placements. It is the best place to learn and gain knowledge. Our college allows students who have a high academic percentage to do internships.
