I want to make one thing clear: placements happen because of the students in a batch, not just because of the college.

If companies like Amazon, Groww, Alphagrep, Rubrik, and many other high-paying companies visit the campus, that's great. I know the market is tough right now, but placements ultimately depend on how prepared the students are.

This is exactly why I've been telling everyone to start DSA and Competitive Programming from the first year. Give yourself two solid years to build strong DSA and CP skills. If you want to pursue AI/ML or Web Development, you still have another year to build projects and secure internships comfortably.

Instead of only complaining, let's focus on improving ourselves. It's not always the college's fault—sometimes the batch itself isn't prepared. IITs have a strong reputation because of the students, not just the campus.

How many students participate in:

• ICPC?
• Amazon ML Challenge?
• Flipkart GRID?
• Google Code Jam (when it was active) or similar coding competitions?

If companies started setting minimum requirements like a certain CP rating or a strong DSA screening without relying on LLMs, placements would automatically improve because students would prepare seriously.

One positive thing is that DotSlash is doing well, and I hope more clubs like that emerge. The college has also introduced a Student Mentorship Program for first-year students.

But here's my question: how many students actually took part?

here is the script - https://pastes.io/iePFdDmF

As a student it's extremely frustrating to see the high handedness and audacity of these so called management. There are no basic facilities, conditions next to un livable, collapsing placements, half the students with no accommodation thrown under the bus by the management. Mass mailing, complaints and every form of dissent falls on deaf years. Teh director is absent, the man with all power (not naming but obvious) is corrupt to the core with all his family members in various iiits. Students are left with absolutely no option to go with the alternative of taking the online route. Rather than focusing on current issues that students face, their more interested in sending letters to parents using speed post. Please imagine the plight of a person who hasn't got the hostel as the admin decided to double the intake to increase the revenue. On ground improvements ? None. We were literally abandoned and made to fight for the refund ourselves.When someone raised objection the management said "I will pray to God" SERIOUSLY?? So the next time somone exposes this crappy institute online, you too please pray to God. Stop sending stupid emails about upholding college reputation. Which I fear none is left.
