It's an average college but there are some good things and bad things.

Placements: Placement here will be good because, there are a lot of companies that recruit which are top in IT level, like cognizant, TCS, Wipro, and Sutherland, where we will grow our careers. Even though, some companies which are not worth it like PVR, Thalapakatti, etc., also come.

Satisfied with the college and faculty. But totally disappointed by the infrastructure .

Placements: My sourse is B.Com ISM. Which has both system related and accounts related. This course has been changed to B.Com accounts and finance because of low students who prefers B.Com ISM. Its been good to study there and good faulty.

Infrastructure: Classrooms are okay. But infrastructure is some what low compared to other colleges. The college is good but management is the worst because till now I didn't get my degree certificate. The management says the degree certificate will be given within 2 months.
