Placements are moderate. Companies like Synergy, MSI, Fleet etc come for campus selection.Even after the completion of course we can apply to different exams conducted by different companies and attend their interviews but getting campus placement is the best way.

Placement is excellent for BSC cadets .In my time it was 100% .As per best of my knowledge the placement has improved even more taking cadets in 2nd year itself .so if you are getting bsc , go without any doubt .For DNS sadly Inmy time sadly placement was bad , don't have idea about current scenario

If students don't get placement then the one year time period is given by the college in which they will get priority for placements.
