Our college is good for a professional degree program.

Placements: The lowest salary offered was Rs. 20,000 per month and the highest salary offered was 1 lac per month. C.P., KVK, AquaConnect and Salem Microbes are the companies which visit the campus for recruitment. Roles offered are as assistant director, director of fisheries, Inspector of fisheries, general manager and assistant manager. In our course, the lowest salary offered was Rs. 18,000 per month and the highest salary offered was 1.5 LPA. Almost 100% of students get internships and C.P. Company was the major one.

Infrastructure: Our college is an environmental free campus. There are labs for microbiology, aquaculture, processing, aquaculture engineering, aquatic animal health management and extension. All labs are having every facility like machinery, chemicals, etc. Classrooms are smart classroom system for PowerPoint presentation and CCTV. The library has enough book with an air-conditioned environment. Computer labs are also available with an air-conditioned environment. The entire campus is enabled Wi-Fi. Hostels are also environmental free, and it has 3 floors with the mess. Mess is under students, and the weekly menu is decided by students. The food served is quite good. There is no canteen available on campus. In sports, we have ground for football, basketball, volleyball, cricket, shuttle, and also athletic. We conduct sports events in college functions, and inter-college competitions like Ponfima and Kurukshetra are also organised. Many students are selected yearly for All India Agri Meet from our campus.

Faculty: Teachers in our college are all qualified graduates. Almost 90% of teachers are PhD scholars, and they completed their studies from both abroad and motherland. Every teacher has their knowledge in the fisheries sector in both theoretical and also practical. Around 90% of teachers have extraordinary teaching skills. The course curriculum is relevant and has 4years with 8 semesters. Six semesters are covered with theoretical and practical classes and field visits. There are 8 departments on our campus, and each department has its subjects with the syllabus. The last 2 semesters include skill development programme by our teacher and guest lectures and in-plant programme and education learning programs All India tour is also conducted in the seventh semester. Exams are conducted by our university, which is Dr J. Jayalalitha Fisheries University TamilNadu.

Other: I opted for the course because it is a professional course. The best thing about the course is that there a low number of students passing out yearly, i.e., around 150 students in TamilNadu. Campus interview and jobs offered should be improved. Events such as hostel day, college day, inaugural function, Ponfima, Kurukshetra, fish fest, etc., are held on campus. Campus crowd consist of about 250 students, 25 staff members, and there would be 25 workers. Connectivity to the college can be through trains to Chennai central for every 25 minutes and a bus to red hills. The campus is surrounded with railways station at the back and with a government hospital on the right side. Bus stand about 1 km away from college. Scholarships are given for UG, and caste-based scholarships are also provided. Even hostellers can apply for scholarships. For PG, a stipend is given by ICAR. Extracurricular activities such as national meet, inter-college competitions, dancing, singing, ad-zap, etc., are held on campus.

Good college with friendly staff.

Placements: The top recruiting companies for our course include Amazon, Infosys, TCS, Wipro, Accenture, Zoho, Cognizant, and Deloitte. Around 70–80% of students secure internships, with popular internship providers being IBM, Capgemini, Zoho, and startups in the tech domain.

Infrastructure: The infrastructure for our course is well-developed, with Wi-Fi-enabled classrooms, modern computer labs, smart boards, and access to a fully stocked library with digital resources. Labs are updated regularly and offer hands-on learning with real-world tools and equipment. Classrooms are spacious and well-ventilated.

Faculty: Faculty members in our course are highly qualified, supportive, and knowledgeable, with many holding PhDs or industry experience. They are approachable and ready to help students outside class hours as well. The teaching quality is good, with a focus on both theoretical and practical learning. The curriculum is industry-relevant, regularly updated with subjects like Data Structures, AI, Cloud Computing, and Full Stack Development, making students job-ready. There are also opportunities for mini-projects, workshops, and internships which enhance practical exposure.

Other: The practical learning opportunities, coding culture, and exposure to real-world projects and internships are valuable. However, I believe the course could be improved by adding more industry-oriented workshops, updated electives, and providing better career counseling. Some tools and lab software could also be upgraded more frequently to reflect current trends. The campus life is lively, with annual fests, technical events, and hackathons like TechFest, CodeSprint, and cultural nights. The crowd is diverse and friendly, creating a good balance between academics and fun. The college is well-connected by public transport, and the campus surroundings are safe and green.
