Very good infrastructure and all facilities are available.
Placements: I graduated in 2020 with a BCA degree, achieving an 80% placement rate. Many reputable companies, including HCL and Infosys, recruited BCA students from our college. Our curriculum prepared us well for system-oriented jobs and government exams. Additionally, our college provided eligibility for bank exams, which many of us pursued with enthusiasm.
Infrastructure: Nice hostel and classroom, good library management, and labs. The mess and the canteen are very neat, with excellent food. Medical facilities and sports are perfect in our college. The hostel is very clean and well-maintained, and all students love to stay there.
Faculty: All staff are very helpful in teaching our subjects and providing information about job opportunities. The teaching is very good and clear. Though all semesters are challenging, the teachers train us well, resulting in a pass percentage of 98% in every semester. So, come and join this college.
Other: BCA is suitable for all computer-oriented fields, meeting the requirements of IT companies. Programming classes are taught very effectively, enhancing students' skills in creating their programs. The staff is proficient in teaching skill development to students.

Overall, the placements are good.
Placements: My batch passed out in 2014, and every student is well-settled now. The highest package offered is 8.10 LPA. Well-reputed companies conduct campus placements here, like IBM, Wipro, Tata etc.
Infrastructure: The college needs to improve hostel food quality and also management staff. The food quality is very poor. More lab sessions must be conducted.
Faculty: The faculty members are very helpful in solving our doubts and queries related to any subject. Teaching quality is good. They support poor students to improve their knowledge.
Other: I chose BCA course because it has a huge scope. The campus is good.

Other: The teaching format of teachers are good enough. The departments of each faculty is very strict that means the student should be in discipline. Students should have to attend the class at least 75%. Harassments to girl is strictly prohibited and if someone caught in such activities he is definitely suspended for at least 20days. There is 2review exams within the semester which gifts 25marks. A thing good for students is the student friendly environment. As my college is situated near to railway station which also accommodate the student in learning about railway engineering. The facility of lab and library is very nice. There is nothing bad to say about my college. Yes one thing is the campus selection of students is very low.
