    I am absolutely dissatisfied with this college.
    Placements: There are no placements, salary packages, recruiting companies, and internships.
    Infrastructure: Old unpainted and unfurnished infrastructure. Fully spider webs like a ghost house. There is no hostel. This is not a proper college to study in. No canteen, sports, and games. PT sir is the worst.
    Faculty: Uneducated teachers teach us. The course curriculum does not make students ready for industry. Semester exams are like class tests. Everyone uses mobile for an answer and the invigilator also doesn't bother about that.
