Placement Essentials:
The placement record is 70%. There were many companies that are mass recruiters for our college and have permanent relationships with our college. They hire the students in bulk only. There are some companies which offer a huge package but they pick only a few of the students which are extraordinary in their skills. The overall placement record is good and the average package was around 5 lacs. That would be good to start your career and still better than no job.
Hostel Facilities
The registration process for the hostel is simple. Hostel allotment is on the basis of First come First serve and your marks or the rank. Once you are eligible and you got the name on the allotment list and it becomes your second home. The hostel is very much affordable and the cost is very less but at the expense of the old architecture and unhygienic. Overall experience is good but very much cheaper than PG and Flats.
Hostel Fee: INR 10000 per year
