“It was a major initiative of the Institute to organize a placement drive on such a large scale,” said Training and Placement Officer, CCCT, Deepak Rasaily. “Though we have had other MNC’s in the past like Apollo Tyres, Samsung India, HCL etc. who’ve been frequently recruiting our students, this placement drive was completely different because our students had to compete at a national level to get through,” added the TPO.
CCCT, though situated in a remote part of a small hilly state of Sikkim, has been a forerunner in placing students in various hallmark institutes around India and yet it is another proud moment for the Institute to have been recognized as one of the premium polytechnics in India by a major corporation of WIPRO, the release further adds.
