The recruitment process attracted more than 120 companies and agencies [2] to the campus. These organizations competed for graduates across various engineering disciplines, contributing to the high percentage of students securing offers.
According to a report by The Hindu, the institution reached a placement mark of 91.08% [1] for the B.Tech 2026 cohort, the report said. This outcome reflects the scale of the drive and the diversity of the participating firms.
