I am in final year mechanical engineering at sinhgad college vadgaon pune and is chances for placement in core companies for higher second class in academics?
Recently companies are encouraging Specialized courses , you should be mastered in that particular area, have good technical knowledge, please take up projects, then you will be in core area.Most of graduates are getting into core ares instead of that they getting into shop floor jobs.
most of the companies look for 60% through out however there are a lot of companies who select candidates based on a written test . Prepare well for an aptitude as well as domain specific test and you will get through.
All the best
