Placements, Internships & Student Outcome
-
There is a “Training & Placement Cell” which reportedly helps with summer training, internships, industrial visits, and aims to facilitate placements.
-
As per one recent report (2024), the college recorded around 236 placements; highest package ~ ₹ 12 LPA, median package ~ ₹ 4 LPA. Top recruiters reportedly included companies like KPMG, Wipro, Genpact, Chegg, Lenskart, ICICI Prudential, TresVista, Bajaj Capital, Aditya Birla Group, IBM, among others.
-
However, college and student-reviews also paint a more mixed picture: some students claim there is limited support for internships/placements and comparatively fewer “campus culture” aspects than top colleges
Limitations & What Students Should Watch Out For
-
Infrastructure seems modest compared to colleges: some students report limited sports facilities, basic campus culture, and maintenance issues (water/transport/amenities problems).
-
Placements may not be guaranteed — median packages are modest (~₹ 4 LPA in recent data), and outcomes seem to vary widely depending on stream, effort, and external factors.
-
For specialized or professional aspirations (high-paying jobs, top-tier postgraduate courses, etc.), this college may offer limited edge compared to premium colleges.
