The college offers excellent facilities including top-notch hostels and canteens.

Placements: Almost 80% of students are placed in the course. I did have to know about this clearly and get to know. Since I haven't gathered enough information about this. Top recruiting companies are for our food technology courses, and the percentage of students who can get internships from our courses are almost everyone.

Infrastructure: The facilities and infrastructure in our department are very modest. It does have Wi-Fi, lifts, excellent labs, spacious classrooms with projectors to learn classes by faculty, and even we have the best library. The quality of the facilities in the hostel, the quality of the food in the mess, and the canteen sports and games is the best I have ever seen. This is the most unique and the best experience I have ever had.

Faculty: The teachers were very helpful to us. Even at teaching the subjects and also helping us in doing the projects. They are also highly knowledgeable, qualified, and helpful. Semester exams are a bit difficult since everything is a matter of results. So it does matter, and it is a bit difficult.

Other: I chose this course. Since I always care about what I eat, I wanted to learn more about food care, food health, etc. And that's how I chose this course to make myself better and make everyone else better by knowing about the food much better. Events, fests, campus crowds, connectivity, and extracurricular activities are all part of this whole college. Our college/university has its own uniqueness like ever. This is the best college where we can study as much as we want and enjoy as much as we want. The best one I have ever had.
