Satisfied because of faculty members, dissatisfied because of programs.
Placements: The college provides a good placement facility. And every senior is happy with the college. I am also happy, and I hope everyone will like the college on the basis of study. The programs that the college is providing are not good but studying at the college is good.

I prefer the Kerala type of food so I chose PG, which is 7 km away from the college in the best area. I have good food now, but I only like Kerala food .
Faculty: Their study material and notes are mostly relevant to the curriculum for this course. Faculties are friendly, the curriculum is great, and exams are good because we have great faculty members to help us prepare for exams. I like the intelligence of faculty members.
Other: The college doesn't have a good festival celebration or anything; even the sports are not good; they don't provide football and they don't have a field of their own.
