Placement Statistics

FAQs

One should clear the pre-placement process which includes Aptitude tests, Placement tests, and Technical and HR Practice Tests Interviews.  Clearing these tests is mandatory for anyone to get into placements.

Our Principle- “We assist until we place”. Cranes Varsity shoulders the responsibility of placing its students. So anyone who is joining the course at Cranes Varsity is provided with assured placements.

No. Once a student is enrolled in the program, he will get access to our Student Portal which will have study material and interview questions. Cranes Varsity has ATPC – Admission, Training, Placement, and Certificate – Approach. There are no additional charges involved. 

If any student wants to have a hard copy of course material then they may have to bear a nominal charge which is not a part of the regular course fee.
