Potti Sriramulu Chalavadi Mallikharjuna Rao College of Engineering & Technology (PSCMR), situated in Vijayawada, Krishna District, Andhra Pradesh, maintains a robust and systematic career ecosystem driven by its dedicated Training and Placement (T&P) Cell. Since its inception in 2008 under the historic Sri Kanyaka Parameswari Vissamsetti Venkataratnam Hindu High Schools Committee (SKPVVHHSC), the college has established a strong reputation for employability in the Coastal Andhra region.
Following its transition to an autonomous institution, PSCMR has updated its curriculum to focus on specialized engineering streams and management tracks (B.Tech, MBA, and MCA). The institute consistently maintains an overall placement rate of over 85%, serving as a key regional hub for both centralized campus recruitment and pool campus drives across Andhra Pradesh.
The 2025 recruitment season at PSCMR highlighted steady engagement from multinational IT service providers, regional tech startups, and banking institutions. For the graduating batch of 2025, the highest domestic salary package stood at INR 15.00 LPA, while the institutional average package stabilized at INR 4.18 LPA.
The placement patterns show that circuit and computing streams—such as Computer Science & Engineering (CSE), Artificial Intelligence & Data Science (AI&DS), and Electronics & Communication Engineering (ECE)—continue to secure the highest volume of corporate offers. Simultaneously, the core engineering divisions (Mechanical and Civil) have maintained consistent employment avenues, often leveraging specialized technical roles and structural design profiles.
The college's multi-year performance highlights a consistent baseline in core recruitment metrics:
PSCMR hosts an array of corporate entities annually. While primary mass recruiters dominate the volume of engineering placements, specialized technological firms and financial institutions actively target advanced computing branches and management programs.
The table below categorizes the prominent recruiters participating in the institutional placement drives, sorted by their standard employment domains:
The central Training and Placement Cell at PSCMR, led by experienced faculty coordinators and supported by student volunteers, focuses on transforming students into industry-ready professionals through structured training modules starting from their sophomore year.
Skill-Enhancement Programs: The cell conducts mandatory soft skills development sessions, focusing on corporate communication, personality development, time management, and group dynamics.
Technical Readiness Bootcamps: Students undergo hands-on coding training in foundational programming languages like C, C++, Java, and Python. Specialized modules cover emerging technologies such as Web Development, Cloud Computing (AWS/Azure), and Data Science.
Aptitude and Assessment Prep: The institute schedules regular online practice tests covering quantitative aptitude, logical reasoning, and verbal interpretation to match the screening standards of major MNCs.
Industry-Institute Interaction: The T&P Cell organizes guest lectures, corporate seminars, and mock interview panels featuring technical alumni. These initiatives give students direct insights into current corporate expectations.
Internship programs at PSCMR are designed to provide students with practical industry experience alongside their academic coursework. Under the college's autonomous guidelines, students are encouraged to complete mandatory industrial projects or summer internship terms post the completion of their second and third years.
The college leverages various platforms—including the Andhra Pradesh State Skill Development Corporation (APSSDC), AICTE internship portals, and Internshala—to connect students with verified project opportunities. Local engineering startups and technical labs, such as Pivox Labs, Blackbucks, and Sweacha Organisation, provide students with exposure to real-world software applications and data analytics.
Stipends for these seasonal engagements typically range from INR 5,000 to INR 10,000 per month for premium selections, while several tracks focus on project-based certifications. High-performing interns frequently leverage their industry deliverables to secure full-time corporate placement offers during the final semester.
Institutional Placement Note: Students preparing for the final campus selection rounds must complete their profiles on the internal placement tracking portal. For real-time updates regarding specific company criteria, upcoming pool campus schedules, or registration deadlines for the 2025–2026 drive cycle, students should closely check the placement cell notice boards or the official institutional portal at pscmr.ac.in.
