My honest review about my college.

Placements: My batch had almost 25 students, out of which only 11 got placed in companies such as HCL, Tech Mahindra, etc. Packages ranged from 4.5 LPA to 12 LPA. Some mid-sized companies also came for campus recruitment and selected approximately 40% of students who appeared for interviews. The packages they offered ranged from 3 to 10 LPA.

Infrastructure: The entire curriculum took 18 months to complete. Some aspects covered in the curriculum represented the views on India’s water security. It included the development of learning materials related to the sea security of India. Marine engineering students received special benefits from the course. No, I didn’t opt for the hostel. The hostel fee was Rs. 10,000 per year. The infrastructure was good. Free electricity, free water including hot water, a free table and chair, free Wi-Fi, and free parking for cars and bikes were provided. A guard was present, and reading room facilities were available.

Faculty: Teachers were very active and helpful. They even shared their contact numbers to assist us. They did not skip any topic and made sure that everyone understood the concepts clearly. Teachers only came to the university on weekends since we were from distance education. The best part was that the teachers informed us in advance if they were not going to be present. There were 19 subjects taught by my college, each with the best faculty for both theoretical and clinical knowledge. All 19 subjects were divided into 4 professional levels and taught by 4 types of faculty, i.e., Professors, Associate Professors, Assistant Professors, and Lecturers.

A college with good qualities.

Placements: If I am supposed to talk about the placements given by this institute, I can say that it is very average, not all the students are placed well, only about thirty to forty percent of students got placed every year, which is not bad at all. The average package of the students is about 10 lacs per year.

Infrastructure: If I talk about the infrastructure of the institution, I can say that buildings were creatively made, they were restricted for outsiders to enter the institute, and there were playing areas, libraries, and cultural activities areas over there. The best part of the hostel is the cleanliness maintained by staff, and it serves good food.

Faculty: If I am supposed to say something about the faculty, the best part of this institute is that the faculty members who are working here are really well qualified. Well-knowledgeable and head students and motivate the students in each and every step of their lives in those four years. The curriculum is well maintained to cover the syllabus in a semester.

Good opportunity for internship.

Placements: The placement is quite good with around ninety percent of the students getting placed. The highest package that was offered was around twenty-five Lacs per annum an the average of our batch was around twelve Lacs per annum and companies like Tata Motors came.

Infrastructure: The hostels have central Air conditioning and also in the classroom and the hostel offers single and double sharing options and in both, you have attached the washrooms facility. There is medical support and a sports complex and a few recreational areas are also there.

Faculty: The curriculum is up-to-date date and is designed keeping in mind the industry relevancy. The semester are challenging but the passing percent range is around 80 to 85 percent. The faculty members are very knowledgeable and have few industry collaborations.
