Better for studying.

Placements: Almost 60% of students get placed every year, and it's mostly off-campus. The highest package is nearly 12 LPA. Many students opt for higher studies instead of placements to secure better positions and higher packages. In our branch, ECE, this is common. The average package is around 4 LPA. Top recruiting companies include Aditya Birla, among others. About 90% of students get internships, mostly in NITs and big colleges, especially in ECE.

Infrastructure: The infrastructure is good, but the college doesn't allocate funds easily. We have properly functioning labs, and the classrooms are large and clean. You won’t get a mobile signal inside the building, but Wi-Fi is available everywhere on campus with a constant speed of 30-50 Mbps. Boys don't get a hostel in the 1st and 2nd years, but girls do. The canteen is clean, less hazy, and cheaper than outside shops. Medical facilities are also good, and we are very active in sports.

Faculty: Teachers are helpful, highly qualified, and knowledgeable. Their teaching quality is good. The curriculum is relevant and up-to-date, and it makes us industry-ready. The semester exams are a bit difficult but not impossible. You have to study hard to top them, though you can pass by studying for 3 days for each subject.

Other: I was interested in electronics from my childhood, which is why I chose it. The best thing about my subject is the practical and real-life examples. No improvements are needed till now. Yes, we organize events of every type, both cultural and technical, and participation is also very high. The campus is on the bank of a river, offering a wonderful view. You can get a scholarship of up to 2 lakhs in the curriculum. Every type of extracurricular activity is also available.

Dissatisfied with placement. Our college is the worst.

Placements: I am currently in ECE 2nd year of CGEC. About 35% of students got placed. The highest package is 6.9 LPA from L&T, and the lowest is 3.25 LPA. Most of the students get the role of associate trainee engineer. Some of the best students have M.Tech at the top IITs through GATE.

Infrastructure: Wi-Fi is available 24X7. Classrooms are quite good. Students get free book from library for study. Canteen and hostel are both available. But only for the girls and 3-4th year boys students. Hostel and mess provide food to the hostelers which is quite good.

Faculty: Teachers are well-qualified and knowledgeable. The departmental teachers are so much helpful. If students follow the teacher's notes, they can easily score quite well. About 70-80% of the students pass in each subject but it depends on the difficulty level of the subject.

Other: The best thing about ECE is its lab projects which are very much. Teachers are ready to discuss any type of new idea that students bring.
