All round student development

The management has always been powerful but friendly firm but kind this has ensured that every student was given apt freedom with a limit that they understood well and limited themselves to.

We were eased into the subject.

The college did not provide internship during my days but encouraged students to intern during the summers.

Over 70% students are placed through campus placements with lucrative packages. companies in the league of leading airlines biotechnology firms corporates of the C Suite such as Infosys tata consultancy services and wipro attend the campus placements.
