You can apply for internships by yourself under a teacher or under another professors if you have connections. You can also take research projects from professors all over the world.

The placement cell is very active towards BTech students but for our course only edtech companies approach and many students are not interested in that as they either want to work in industrial companies or they want to pursue PhD. So in campus placement is very less and majority of the students take jobs outside the campus on their own. Average package a person can get is 6 LPA And it can go higher depending on the qualification and experience. Companies like byjus, akash , allen approach every year. You can apply for placements from the first semester itself.
