Scholarships, including post-matric and E-medhabruti, are available for students with family incomes below Rs. 4 lakh, with awards up to Rs. 70,000 annually. Students who perform well academically are eligible for a 10% fee discount, and the college helps apply for private scholarships.
Placement opportunities begin in the 6th semester, with companies like Wipro, Infosys, TCS, and others recruiting on campus. Packages range from Rs. 1 lakh to Rs. 12 lakh, with an average of Rs. 3.5 lakh annually. Placement rates vary, with some reports as low as 10% and others as high as 95%. High-profile companies such as Amazon and Google visit, but there's dissatisfaction with placement quality and support. Students often seek internships independently, though some secure positions at companies like Byju's, Concentrix, and government centers like ISRO.
Despite some positive aspects, concerns about poor placement quality and limited support persist.
