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: 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.
