Good campus life and infrastructure, no city life, good mess and food counter.

Placements: Very nice placement. A different body is framed every year to organise the placement and accommodation related to all the companies and organisations. Good overall placement and packages. A lot of companies come to recruit for different roles, and the lowest package is above 12 LPA.

Outstanding campus life with satisfactory placements and nice infrastructure.

Placements: In 2025, the placement percentage of my branch (Chemical Science and Technology) is about 81 percent. The highest package is 85 LPA, the lowest is 8 LPA, and the average is 21 LPA. Companies like Google, Microsoft, Infosys, Tata, etc., offer jobs to us. Around 50 percent of students of each batch get an internship, but it primarily depends on an individual's skills.
