As a result, the number of students applying for college placements is comparatively less and thus their placement record should not be compared to IITs, say. The college does have a dedicated placement cell which organises interviews from various companies including Glenmark, Merck Chemicals, etc. Some branches have a better placement record than others. The UDCT Alumni Association is quite a strong and well-connected network of present students and alumni which helps to ensure the setting up of various grants and scholarships like the John Kapoor scholarships.
