The course is very interesting and fun to learn as well as it is very hectic. Design subject and other theory subjects are hard to work on simultaneously. The submissions and work teaches a lot about time management tho.

Mostly the students get prepared for placements in the third year. Placement training is usually started in the mid of the third year. According to the passed out students and our seniors, the institution has enough good placements compared to other private institutions. The students get placed in MNCs like IBM, TCS, Infosys, Accenture, SAP, Wipro, CTS, IBS, UST Global, Government and Public Sector companies like BARC, ONGC, Powergrid, Delhi Metro and commercial banks like Federal Bank, South Indian Bank, Core Engineering companies like MRF, Apollo Tyres, Sobha, Procsys, Kalkitech etc speaks volumes about the professional excellence of students.The major activities of the Placement and Training Cell include coordinating the Campus placement activities of the college Conducting regular training for improving the soft-skills and conducting regular tests, GD`s and Mock Interviews. The major thrust area of the placement cell is training programs. Every student undergoes at least 150 hours of training programs which is spread across the years of study. They are trained by the best in the industry. Career guidance and placement orientation is ensured through sessions organised in-house and support from experts from outside. Guidance on how to prepare for various competitive exams like GATE, CAT, MAT, GRE, UPSC, PG entrance examinations etc. are also provided. Despite the economic uncertainties and industry challenges, the Class of 2024 achieved remarkable success in campus recruitment. A total of 78 students secured packages of 7LPA or more, with 484 offers from 76 companies. The highest package reached 15LPA, while the average package stood at a respectable 5.7LPA. Notable recruiters included TCS, CTS, SAP, Tataelxsi, People10, SOTI, UST, and Qburst. Core companies like Cadence, Schneider, Kalkitech, Procsys, Aarbee Structures, RDC, Saint Gobain, Dalmia, Walkaroo OEN, and Tejas Networks also hired students.

From semester 6 students are eligible for campus placement. Companies like tata, cisco, tcp, etc come here. Average package is 600000. And highest package last year is 37 LPA. This year is continuing and highest is 17 LPA

Students can sit for campus placements from sixth semester onwards. In my case, i attended 4 interviews and got placed in Amphenol Communication Solutions finally. Highest package for mechanical engineering students: 6LPA ( Alstom).Average package: 3LPA Almost 50 percent students got placed from mechanical batch.

Actualy EEE is very tough compared to other course but EEE has good oppertunities compared to other courses in future and also in present,teaching method shuld need to improve because dregee students should need to learn more about pratical more than theory.

The placements at mec are top notch . The placement cell and training cell are student led. The highest package last year was 56lpa .most of the students in the computer science departments get placed.

The placement cell in our college is very less interested in sending their students to high paying companies. Barely a few companies very offered jobs in the academic section and only a few students have got placed. During the 4th year only they start preparing for the placement drives without giving much preparation to the students. Most companies that have visited is some local companies that provide very low package

Every teachers teaches fantastic. But there are some teachers whose lecture are defficult to catch-up. We keep our complaints and suggestions in class committee meeting. Those are recognised by the faculty and tries to make it better.

I wanted to really enhance my programming skills due to which I planned to enrol for this course. The curriculum does not manage to prepare you for real world applications as most of the time they include just the most basic of examples. I wish they would take some input from students too in the curriculum creation. The internals are conducted twice in a semester along with an end semester exam. The exams are usually easy to moderately difficult.
