UG - 3 Years is one of the UG programmes that is characterized by an apparent upward trend in percentage employment rates: 76.9% - 78.9% - 83.7%. The median salaries also increased appropriately, as the INR 330000 changed to INR 410000 meaning that the recruiter has become more confident with shorter term programmes like the BBA, BCA and related areas.
