Student Snaps:

Students are eligible to sit for placement from the 6th semester onwards. But most of the placement companies that visit are tech/software companies. There are very few core companies that are visiting currently. Out of the few core companies that do visit the highest package is probably offered by Tata Elxsi with a package of 7-8 lakhs per annum. But the placement stats for Cs/ Aiml is very good with lots of placement as well as high ctc. But out those placed most are placed with package ranges from 3-4 lakhs per annum. My current plan is for higher studies after graduation. I want to specialise in the field of vlsi design. But if possible I would want to work in s core company for around 2-3 years to build up experience.

SCT college

Placements are pretty good here. The chlu unit or placement unit works in traing the student to attain a secure job. Stidents of semester 7 can start applying for the placements. Around 60 percent of students are placed in numerous companies and mncs. The companies that often ivite students are tcs, infosys, oracle and accenture. They provide an annual salary of 5 lakh per annum. It is a mass recruitment. But alart from that studenta are given gate coaching. Hence they either ho for higher studies or opt for psu companies like sets, hpl etc. But the highest package given was 12 lakh for a student who went to maharatna company through gate in the previous year. In total around 30 companies visit every year. Companies like google, microsoft, pinterest has also recruited students from the college. My plan is to go for gate coaching during 3rd year. And appearing for 2027 exam to clear it and to attain a psu company job. Work for 2 to 3 years in that company and look for more opportunities in abroad later.
