Best college I have ever seen.

Placements: Recruitment at this college is good and above average. Most of the students get placements in good companies, but about 70% of students are placed here. Top recruiting companies are Capgemini, Times of India, TCS, etc. The highest salary offered is 12 LPA, and the average salary offered is 7 LPA. Top roles offered are expert, journalism, and more.

Infrastructure: Our college offers wonderful amenities. Classrooms and labs are air-conditioned and well-maintained. The Wi-Fi in the hostels is not great, but the library is wonderful. Hostels are clean and well-kept. When a student becomes ill, the hostel staff is caring and supportive. Smart classroom furniture is available.

Faculty: Teachers are very friendly and knowledgeable, ready to help students whenever needed. The curriculum is somewhat outdated. It needs to be revised urgently as the demand of the industry evolves day by day. Semester exams are not difficult, and the pass rate is around 36%.

Good faculty and good management.

Placements: In our course, more than 74 percent of students are placed. The highest package from our college is 30 LPA, and the average package is 3 LPA. Top recruiters include TCS. The college doesn't support in getting internships or developing skills, but helps in placement preparation. However, the percentage of students getting placed is quite low. The percentage of students placed is 75 percent.

Infrastructure: Many facilities are provided in our college. The facilities of the hostel are better, but sometimes the Wi-Fi doesn't work properly. The infrastructure of the department is quite good, and the library is nice; there are 3 floors in the library. The quality of the mess is good, but sometimes the food at dinner time is not so good. The quality of food in the canteen is good but costly.

Faculty: Teachers are very good; they are no doubt qualified and helpful. They are always ready to mentor us whenever we need it. Since the college is an autonomous college, they have their own curriculum, but no doubt it is based on current market demands. Semester exams are not that difficult; you can easily pass the exams if you have studied.

Best college and nice placements.

Infrastructure: The facilities and infrastructure available for my course and department are decent, with Wi-Fi, labs, classrooms, and the library providing almost all the basic needs. The facilities in the hostel are nice, considering its rooms and every facility of the mess, too. But there is one problem: the hostel fees are high at our college. However, the college is near the hostel.

Faculty: The teachers are helpful, and many are qualified with good degrees. The management and the teachers are very helpful, and they have the best knowledge in their field. The quality of the teachers is also nice. The students are able to understand the topic. Even practicals are done. The semester exams are between moderate and hard. The pass percentage is 52 percent, and many got good packages.
