My college is one of the best colleges in our state and most of the lecturers are friendly.

Placements: The placement is getting better and better in our college; the highest package is 24 lacs per year, and the lowest package is 8 lacs per year. And the average package is 16 lacs per year. The top companies that came to my course are Reliance, Goldman Sachs, Tata Project, and some other companies. 70 percent of students got internships at Tata Steel and Raymond. The roles offered in my course depend on the talent of students .

Infrastructure: In our area, there is more than 50 Wi-Fi facilities where students, staffand lecturers can use them. There are separate labs for separate branches and the labs are well cleaned and good. And the classrooms are well cleaned and they use different type of boards, and they also uses the screens to show in practical form or explain. There is one big library, and there we can take many of the books which we want, which will help us gain knowledge. The hostel is good and well cleaned, the quality of food is good but depends upon the day; there are emergency or medical facilities to the students who are injured, and they will conduct sports like volleyball, cricket, chess, kabaddi, carrom, etc. And they also conduct online games like free fire and stc.

Faculty: The teachers who teach us are great; we have to thank them all. They helped us a lot, they were basically well graduated and there way of thinking in different ways to answer the questions of students is good. Yes, this course is curriculum relevant and it makes students industry-ready, where they will provide some skills and learn some programs and some other courses. The semesters are difficult to understand and not that easy to read. The passing percentage of our college is 55 percent of marks, which is equal to 5.5 points on a scale .
