I really had a great experience there and I have learned and enjoyed each and every thing.
Placements: There are ample opportunities in the college to get into the IT Sector in recognised and reputed companies with a good package which depends on you as well. From the past 6 months of my course. The placement highlights were that each candidate gets 30 calls to sit for placement drive. Reputed organisation visits the campus once or twice in a year, e.g., CDAC R&D, Amdocs, TIAA, Capgemini, Hopscotch, Tavisca were just a few. The highest package of my batch was Rs. 7 LPA and the lowest was Rs. 2.4 LPA to the best of my knowledge. The placement rate was also 99.99 %, and only one candidate couldn't clear the final course exam. The placement officer is also really very helpful to every candidate.
Infrastructure: The college premises has one air-conditioned lecture hall, two air-conditioned computer labs, an air-conditioned mess, two floors with three occupancy rooms with 7 on the second floor and 9 on the first floor and a five occupancy flats with three occupancies on each floor. There are also two guest rooms, a common area to watch TV and to play indoor games facilities like ludo, carrom, etc. on both the floors. There is also a table tennis play area on the ground floor with a space to play sports like the cricket, badminton, outside the building, but situating within the campus. There is also greenery all over the campus which is its most beautiful thing.
Faculty: You will be going through the following modules of courses like C/C++, Java, J2EE, Software Engineering, RDBMS, .Net, Web Technologies like PHP, Javascript, Angular, HTML, CSS, etc., Operating Systems, Aptitude There will be one faculty and sometimes two to teach each module. There are also 3-4 lab faculties depending on the requirement. Some pros and cons of the faculty are as follows Pros: There will be an external faculty to teach J2EE, .Net, DBMS, whose teaching level will be fantastic. Each faculty is highly experienced in their field. Also, a module test is held after completion of each module to boost your practical knowledge. It is mandatory to clear the course. Some of the faculty are really helpful. Cons: Internal faculty doesn't focus much on the individual's knowledge gained, whether he/she is gaining something or not. There will be an easy paper sometimes, which for me it is of no use as you are pursuing PGDAC not some school course.
Other: The course books were issued at my time, don't know their present status. Also, one tech CR and non-tech CR will be elected from the current batch. There will also be a picnic, the festival celebration of Holi, Diwali, Navrathri and also new year celebrations. Also, games are held each year, and the schedule is very hectic from 9:10 am to 6:30 pm with labs continuing till 01:00 am. The timings of the college schedule follow with the breakfast from 8:30 am to 9 am, followed by a tea break from 10:45 am to 11:00 am. This, in turn, is followed by my favourite time which is the lunch from 01:00 pm to 02:00 pm, followed by snacks from 4:00 pm to 4:30 pm and ending with the dinner from 7:30 pm to 8:30 pm. There will also be a 7 days holidays in a row for holi or diwali in the duration of six months.
