I am satisfied with the college but there are some pros and cons.
Placements: I am currently doing an M.Tech in communication and signal processing. In our course, my seniors got placed. Out of 20 members, 7 students are already placed, and the remaining are waiting for 2nd phase. In our course, the highest package is 50 LPA on-campus. The minimum package is 15 LPA off-campus.
Infrastructure: The hostel is good. We have 24x7 outings from the hostel and night canteens are present. There are labs 24x7 and it is very helpful to people who do the work in the research area. There is a general championship that is happening every year. The food is less salty and my personal opinion is I do not like food.
Faculty: Teachers are very highly qualified. They are very helpful in academics for every answer. Semester exams are quite challenging. There are a few questions but we need more time to solve them.
Other: I am interested in communication, so I chose this course but subjects are quite difficult to understand. Many events are organised in the college. Every day there will be an event.
