Q: What is the placement record for B.E. in Mechanical Engineering at Anna University - Coimbatore Regional Campus college?

{Source: B.Tech students & alumni}

Based on the five reviews provided, here is a comprehensive overview of the placements at Anna University - Coimbatore Regional Campus for the B.E. in Mechanical Engineering program:

The first review highlights the growth of the placement cell and the efforts made by the department to offer 100% placement and skill development training. However, no specific details about the number of students placed or the companies that visit the campus are mentioned.

The second review states that the college does not provide any campus interviews and the only placements that have taken place are off-campus, with an average salary package of around 3.6 LPA. The reviewer advises potential students to look for better options.

The third review provides more detailed information about the placements. Only two students from the U.G. Mechanical Engineering programme were placed in TCS Ninja as Assistant System Engineers, with a salary package of Rs. 45,000 per month. Additionally, few students got internships at Bosch and there were several internship opportunities provided by AICTE.

The fourth review mentions that the college is relatively new and therefore does not have many big recruiters, especially in the mechanical stream. However, the placement cell is dedicated to finding jobs for students. One senior was reportedly placed in the fluid mechanics industry with a salary package of 6 LPA, but there haven't been many other notable placements.

The fifth review provides some positive news about the placements. At least 50% of the students are placed, with top recruiting companies such as Amazon and Flipkart offering roles. The top roles offered are in Amazon and 80% and above students receive internships in companies like Amazon and Infosys.

In summary, the placements at Anna University - Coimbatore Regional Campus for the B.E. in Mechanical Engineering programme vary from year to year and are not consistently strong across all years. Some students have secured good placements, particularly in off-campus interviews, while others have had limited success. It is important for prospective students to research the current placement trends and employment statistics before making a decision about their education.
