Over the last two decades, the institute has steadily strengthened its industry relationships, enhanced its training infrastructure, and expanded the reach of its Corporate Resource Centre (CRC).

->The Big Picture:
1. Companies & Offers
• 1000+ companies participated in the placement drives for the 2024–25 batch — an impressively high number for private institutions
• 9000+ offers were made to graduating students across all disciplines. This indicates not only a breadth of opportunities but depth — with repeat visits from core recruiters and newer firms alike.
This scale shows that the college doesn’t rely on a handful of big name companies alone; rather, it builds a wide ecosystem of employers, spanning IT, core engineering, finance, analytics, pharma, and management sectors.
2. Salary Breakdown: From Starting Roles to Dream Offers
• Highest Package: ₹50 LPA+ (India’s competitive top tier)
• Average Package: Approximately ₹7.35 LPA overall across all streams.)
To put this in context:
• Many students secure solid mid-level packages in the ₹4–10 LPA range, especially within B.Tech, BCA, and management programs.
• A smaller but notable group — typically from Computer Science, IT, and specialised technical streams — land offers above ₹15–20 LPA
This pattern matches trends seen across similar institutes, where a few high packages raise the maximum bracket, while the median and average reflect steadier, mass-hiring roles.

The college’s placement cell focuses not just on inviting companies but preparing students for the real world:
• Aptitude & communication training — to clear foundational rounds in interviews.
• Technical skill building sessions — reflecting industry needs for project-ready graduates.
