Review

1. The placements of the seniors’ batches are quite good. The companies approached were mostly SAP and business profile oriented. More than 90% students were placed, which is a pretty good percentage. The placement records have been improving with every batch, and my batch had 100% placement. Great opportunities are absorbed by the college in organizing Alumni meets every year. The compensation in the placements is not great but average. Also, the finance needed to join the MBA course is very minimal.

2. Around 90% of students who sat for the course got placements. The highest salary that was offered was about 8 LPA, whereas the average salary package was around 3.5 LPA. The lowest was about 3 LPA. The top recruiting firms that recruited in the college included HCL, Marelli, and Tech Mahindra. Good hiring even in MNCs did take place. The majority of the roles that they were offering were of the embedded software developer and also the embedded design engineer.
