Not a quality college for this amount.

Placements: I'm a Computer Science student from 2023 to 2026. Around two-thirds of students got placed by the placement cell. Mostly those are business processing jobs. Some students get placed in Cognizant for 5 LPA packages. Around 30 students got placed in the TCS Smart Hiring. Mostly the placement is good.

Infrastructure: My college is not good for high-tech infrastructure. It's a small college compared to other nearby colleges. The hostel facility is good and the rooms are neat. Food is okay and sometimes very good. The sports are not important in my college. The medical facilities in an emergency situation are okay.

Faculty: Teachers are student-friendly. They are not as good as other colleges when it comes to teaching and knowledge. It is hard during exams to prepare but because of autonomous mostly we will get passed. The pass percentage comes around 90 percent because of the autonomous institution.

Other: I joined because it's nearby and because of the bus facility. There is no best thing. There are no big cultural events or fests conducted.

Satisfied in all factors like faculty, infrastructure, canteen facilities, etc.

Placements: 80 percent of students were placed in my course because the number of companies visiting our college was high. The highest average package was 22 LPA, the lowest average package was 4 LPA. Wipro, TCS, and CTS recruited. 100 percent of students got internships. Developer and designer roles were offered.

Infrastructure: The infrastructure was better when compared to other colleges. We had multiple labs with all equipment facilities with advanced technology. In my hostel, everything was of good quality, no complaints. The food was very good in quality and quantity, and we had good sports and games facilities.

Faculty: They were very helpful and knowledgeable, and the teaching was of excellent quality. The course curriculum was relevant, it made students industry-ready. Exams were a little complicated, but the pass percentage was above 90% because the way of teaching was good, so we could learn better compared to other colleges.

Other: Lots of benefits are there for this course because we can get both IT and core-related jobs. I think everything is there in my course.

I had a balanced college life between academics and entertainment regarding college.

Placements: Roles offered are Embedded engineer, power system engineer, AutoCAD design, etc. Likely 70% of the students were placed. Mostly, the IT companies from multiple domains used to hire a lot. However, most placement percentages originate from core departments, such as EEE, ECE, Mech, and Civil.

Infrastructure: You have an infrastructure worth the money that will blow your mind. It looks good to have almost 16 to 20 educational institutions under one roof, and it's maintained well in both infrastructure and student discipline. The hostel is very good compared to nearby colleges. The canteen is also fine. Sports and extracurricular activities such as NCC and NSS are great.

Faculty: Throughout my college life, I have been blessed with some great teachers who considered it a passion and guided us in every possible way. Still, I have some disputes with a few of them, but that happens. Not everyone can be your favorite or get along with you. Compared to the curriculum we have now, our juniors' is way better and more extensive.

Overall, the college was good, but not well-satisfied.

Placements: In my batch, 95% of students got placed in different companies like Sutherland, Foxconn, Capgemini, etc. They offered different roles due to their vacancy and the students' skills. The placed students also got good salary packages as freshers of nearly Rs. 15,000 - Rs. 18,000.

Infrastructure: The infrastructure of the college and the classrooms were good, and the labs and library were also useful for the students. The food for the hostel students was also hygienic. The canteen facility was not nice because it was too small for all the arts and science students and was too crowded. If there were two canteens, it would be okay, but there is only one little canteen facility.

Faculty: The teachers' teaching method was also okay, not bad. Some teachers were excellent in teaching and communication, but some of the teachers' teaching knowledge was a little okay. The college exams were neither difficult nor easy. Thet followed the semester pattern and syllabus, so it was easy to pass and get a good percentage.
