The college supports strong faculty-student relationships with approachable staff. Placement opportunities are robust, with notable companies like Microsoft, Infosys, and Amazon visiting.
Placements begin in the second year, with a mandatory internship in the fifth semester. The highest salary package offered was 18.5 LPA, while the average package is 3.5 LPA.
