How does your college prepare students for placements?

“Training in leadership, skills and communication”

At EASA College of Engineering and Technology, we focus on the “ASK” model. Here A stands for Attitude, S stands for Skill and K stands for Knowledge.

  • All students enrolled in the program will be industry-ready products. We will follow a rigorous training model in view of the fact that the students will come from diverse areas of the country. 
  • They will begin our "Communication Training - English" in their first year. Upon completion of the first year of training, students are able to speak English fluently and with good leadership skills. 
  • Second-year students are trained in aptitude, verbal, non-verbal, logical, and psychometric skills. Third-year students are taught technical skills, interpersonal skills, and intrapersonal skills. 
  • In the final year, we will bring top-level MNCs to colleges for placements and we ensure all our eligible students are placed with a good salary package.
