As a result, the whole process could be wrapped up in few days with 100% of the students, who opted for Summers, getting placed. A total of 28 companies visited the campus as a part of 'Day 1' process and another 3 participated in 'Day 2'. Of the total of 65 first year students (1 student opted out) who participated in the process, only 4 went into Day 2.
