Engineering college placement

About 80 per cent of the graduating class of RMK and RMD Engineering colleges have been recruited in the colleges’ placement process this year. Of 627 students, 502 received offer letters, mostly from Information Technology firms such as TCS, Wipro and Infosys.

Addressing the successful students on Placement Day, K. Ganesan, vice-president of HR at TCS, said, “Now that you are offered placement letters do not stop learning. Never be confined only to your chosen domain, but develop multi-tasking skills to be a leader,” he said. RMK group chairman R.S. Munirathinam said the remaining 20 per cent of students would also be placed by the end of the year.
