The cell also maintains a strong alumni network that helps in offering job referrals and mentorship sessions.
Over the years, the college has witnessed visits from reputed organizations in sectors like banking, finance, marketing, retail, and IT-enabled services.

Internships are an integral part of the career-building process. The placement cell actively collaborates with companies to provide summer internships, winter projects, and live industry assignments. These internships, ranging from 2 to 6 months, give students practical exposure to real-world scenarios, improve their work ethics, and enhance their employability. Many companies offer pre-placement offers (PPOs) to interns who perform exceptionally well, making internships a stepping stone to full-time employment.
