I am satisfied with the college's infrastructure and faculty.

Placements: In our session, 80% of students got placement in local as well as MNCs. The highest package was 8 LPA, and the lowest is around 4.5 LPA. Many other students got internships from recruiting companies. The placement cell is very active in handling all these activities.

Infrastructure: Our college has very good infrastructure with well-equipped labs having various software and hardware. In every department, there is a departmental library, and a central library, which is common for all departments, is also available. There is a Wi-Fi facility throughout the whole campus.

Faculty: Faculty are well-qualified and have good experience in teaching. The teaching quality is also good, they teach subjects according to the syllabus. The course is relevant. The semester exam level is moderate, one who learns the subject very well can score good marks.

Very good and in our college chances of placement is very high.

Placements: Nearly 70% of students choose this course. The lowest average package is 20,000 to 2 LPA after this course. We can apply for government jobs. Companies are more than one and at least very good, and roles given by the college are more than one and also interesting.

Infrastructure: Yes, in our college, Wi-Fi facilities and the library are very good, with AC labs and classrooms. The quality of the mess is also good, but the canteen is not very good. Sports and games are at the state level, and there is also a dispensary for medical problems. Medicine is also free.

Faculty: The teachers are helpful, qualified, and knowledgeable. The teaching quality is very good, but semester exams are tough, and the pass percentage is 33%. The course is very good and makes you ready for the industry. This is more interesting if we can have interns in this.

I am quite satisfied because of facility campus and environment of college etc.

Placements: Placement opportunities depend on the potential of the students. In the past, there was only one student in 2018 or 2019 who secured a package above 50 LPA. The average package for the current year, 2024, is 6 LPA, offered by Argusoft company in the CSE branch. Teachers assist students by conducting career counseling sessions.

Infrastructure: The infrastructure is quite decent. The hostel is well-furnished and clean. The mess food is tasty, healthy, and offers a nice menu. Hostel Wi-Fi has a good range, but campus Wi-Fi is comparatively slower. Overall, campus buildings are well-maintained, seating areas are good, and classrooms are suitable for learning.

Faculty: Teachers are very helpful, well-educated, and possess immense knowledge. Many faculty members are listed among the world's top 2% of scientists, which is a great opportunity for students to learn from them. They treat students politely and in a well-mannered way. Overall, the faculty and staff are amazing, but there are some shortcomings, so I would rate the faculty 4 out of 5 stars.

Other: GNDEC offers many cultural fests and extracurricular activities to help students relax. The campus crowd is vibrant, and the environment is lively. They also offer PMS scholarships to minority and backward-class students, which helps reduce their financial burden.
