Placements and Internships

4.5

  • Internship - I haven't done any internship.
  • There are few companies that offer internship through college.
  • This year we had an internship drive, where many companies came to offer internships, but hopefully, they continue this tradition in the coming years.
  • But otherwise, I have seen most of my friends do internships that they had applied outside.
  • But this is not a necessity for a student to get placed.
  • Key companies that hire There are many IT related companies and few core related companies that come to hire each year.
  • Nearly 100+ companies including all the sectors come each year. The roles they offer differs.
  • They hire students for different roles both technical and managerial roles. Salary figures and placement There is assurance of hundred percent 100% placement.
  • But nearly 50% ( this is just my assumption) of the students also choose to go for higher education.
  • However, few of them sit for the placements just to have a backup.
  • As far as the salary figure goes, this year the highest salary offered was Rs 17 lakhs by Amazon.
  • However, not all companies offer such a high salary.
  • The lowest salary figure would be around Rs 3 lakhs.
  • But then again not all companies offer this less a salary.
  • The alumni network, in opinion, is pretty good for a college which is just 17- 18 years old.
  • We often come across students from our college getting admission into one of the top 100 universities all over the world for higher studies.
  • And in the case of management higher education, the students aim to get into top 50 business schools in India.
  •  And as far as the companies that come to hire students, we are often appreciated for the quality of students that they hired the previous year.
  •  I would say, SSN is definitely developing a good alumni network.

Entrance Exams and Admissions

  • There are 2 U.G. (B.E. and BTech) courses with 8 different branches that SSN offers.
  • You can get admitted for one of those courses in either of the two ways - DOTE or Management.
  • And of course, there is NRI quota as well.
  • To get admission through DOTE, you need to go through Anna University counselling for which you need to fill a separate application form.
  • The Anna University counselling is a huge process where students will be given a date once the counselling starts according to the marks they have scored in their 12th standard.
  • So, on the day of your counselling, if you have seats available in SSN for the particular course that you desire, you can block them.
  • The minimum cutoff for which students usually get admitted through DOTE in SSN varies every year but usually, it is between 195- 198 for General category but again for other categories it differs.
  • For management quota, the students have to fill a separate application form given by SSN ( you can get it from the college or their office in Mylapore, CHENNAI).
  • Once you have filled the form, you will be called for an examination and interview based on your 12th standard cutoffs again.
  • If you have studied in state board, your cutoffs will be taken as it is and if you're a CBSE or ICSC or any other international board student, they will add +5 to your cutoff.
  • The shortlisting based on this again varies each year. Usually, the minimum cutoff is around 192-195 ( after the addition if you are a CBSE or international board student). On the day your counselling for management, you will be asked to give an online examination ( contains mostly aptitude) and an interview.
  • While application, you would have chosen 3 courses in decreasing order of priority!!! Based on this and your score in examination and interview, students will be given admission. 
  • However, you can attend both these options and choose what is best for you, in terms, of course, offered , fees, etc.
  • But the students from DOTE and management will share the same classroom for that particular course.
