It is a big place where you can definitely find someone with the same vibe as you.
Placements: Around 64 per cent of students got placed after college, and others are going for higher studies. The highest package has been around 64 LPA, the lowest is around 12 LPA, and the average is at 19 LPA. Some of the government companies are ISRO, DRDO, and HAL, as well as some international giants, such as Airbus. Some of the roles are aviation engineer and aircraft engineer.
Infrastructure: The Wi-Fi connection is smooth and good, and is available through the hostel's classroom library and even the auditoriums. It has one of the biggest libraries, but some books are not so well-maintained. The quality of food is enough to survive in terms of taste, but it is also nutritious for the body. There is a hospital on the campus, which is open 24/7 We have a court for basketball, volleyball and badminton in every respective hall, with the seniors allowing anyone interested to play to go to the hostel to play.
Faculty: The teachers were very helpful and supportive, and every teacher was ready to address individual student doubts. The course curriculum is relevant and makes students industry-ready The semester exam is not difficult if a person just attends every class and focuses on the class without any extra studying or problem solving, they can get quite good marks, but not the best. The pass percentage is around between 30 and 40 per cent.
Other: I chose it because I love JET engines, and in future, I want to study it and make an aircraft with the best JET engine that I will design. There are springs fest inter IITs societies and many more fun extracurricular activities with top-notch labs for those interested in further studies.
