    Students Review for GAC Ooty

    Value for money and Good Atmosphere , Student friendly.

    Placements

    The college has placement but no big companies approaches in placements. Only startups approach. Students are not placed for a good package. Hardly very few students get placed in a good company. The average package is around 15-16k. We have to go for off-campus placement.
