KCT Coimbatore: 2 Answered Questions

How is the campus placements for CSE in Kumaraguru?

CosmicCultivator

I graduated from KCT with a degree in CSE in 2019. During campus placements, I landed offers from both CTS and Infosys. If you maintain a CGPA above 70%, you'll likely qualify to apply for about 99% of the companies visiting for campus recruitment.

In my year, those who struggled to get placed usually had more than two backlogs. Placement training for both aptitude and core subjects kicks off by your 6th semester. Even if you pay attention in about half of those sessions, you should have no trouble getting picked by top companies like CTS, Wipro, TCS, and Infosys on the first day. Best of luck!

Which is the best Kumaraguru College of Engineering or Bannari Amman College of Engineering considering placement and infrastructure?

QuantumQuip

I attended KCT, so I'll share my experience as fairly as I can. If any BIT students have differing views, please feel free to chime in. Both Kumaraguru and Bannari have impressive campuses with lots of greenery. Personally, I think KCT's climate is nicer since it's in Coimbatore.

KCT has a dedicated park that helps with placements if you meet the criteria. I'm not as familiar with Bannari's placement scene, but they should be quite comparable to KCT. In the Anna University College rankings, KCT slightly edges out Bannari.

BIT is known for its strictness, whereas KCT offers better hostel food. I'd recommend choosing KCT over BIT any day. As someone proud of being a KCTian, I can say it's more than just a college; it's a place where you grow and excel.
