    Good campus life and placements but sports take a backseat in PG courses.
    Placements: Almost all students get placed with a decent package. The highest package goes around 50lpa including company shares. Top recruiting companies were Adobe, Goldman Sachs, Samsung, Mastercard, IBM. Most of the students got internship and later PPO from IBM Bangalore. Top roles offered are generally for Data Scientists.
    Infrastructure: Food quality not good in the hostel mess. Other facilities like Wi-Fi, lab availability are amazing. Medical facility is also good and the campus has a hospital to treat the college students free of cost. Classrooms are good, spacious. Sports and games though take a backseat in PG courses.
    Faculty: The teachers are very qualified and have expertise in their respective subjects are active researchers in their respective domains. Teaching quality however varies from teacher to teacher. Some are extremely good whereas others don't meet the expectations. The course curriculum especially the lab assignments and projects are really good because of which students learn a lot here.
