With our interdisciplinary approach and strong alumni network, we ensure that our students are not just academically excellent but also industry-ready,” he said.
A Broad Range of Career Options
This year’s placements have opened doors for students across various domains. While software engineering continues to be the dominant sector, several students have also been recruited in consulting firms, financial institutions, and core engineering roles. Companies have shown increasing interest in hiring candidates with not only technical expertise but also strong communication and leadership skills.
Students benefited from practical training, research opportunities, and hands-on experience through internships and industry projects, making them well-prepared for real-world challenges.
Consistent Year-on-Year Growth
The numbers reflect steady and impressive progress in placements over recent years:
