Hi aspirant!!

The placement senerio is okay okay I will not say it was outstanding or something . Yes it was good for CS and IT branch but for core branch it is like 70% which is good ( talking on the basis of 2018 assumption)

It will going to better in coming days .

Hopefully this helps

Thank you

Hello Aspirant ,

Sorry to say but not Good. There is a mismatch between degree and the role you get to play in the organisation, in may be 90% of the cases.Case can be a student who received an M Tech. degree in Thermal Engineering will get placed in companies like TCS, Wipro, Infosys, IBM where they will get the role of system engineer. And I hope this is best thing that can happen. Worst case is obviously remaining unplaced that too with a post graduate degree.
