I'm totally satisfied with university as placements are best.

Infrastructure: In terms of infrastructure, it is very attractive and big. The library is all equipped with thousands of books and very big in size. There are separate number of hostels each having their own mess and food quality is also good. Sports grounds for cricket, football, volleyball court, basketball court, table tennis plus indoor games facilities are available. The labs are well maintained by staff members with all instruments upgraded and you can do your work or any research work according to a time slot given to you.
Faculty: Faculty members are the best since most of them are in college for many years and highly experienced in their fields. Their knowledge is high regarding the current situations of the market and industries. Some of them have good contacts with industries. The course curriculum is well accurately designed by board members. Hence, we have no difficulty regarding curriculum.
