Satisfied with facilities.
Placements: More than 90 percent of students are placed on campus. The package is also high. It also provides internship programs and industrial projects to the students in the college. The college also provides the students with an internship program in which they can take part and get selected through the interview round, and they can learn and grasp knowledge and experience exposure from that internship for their upcoming placement sessions. The main companies in which internships are offered are Mahindra, Hyundai, etc. The students also get project work from the college in the second last semester, where they have to make a model car and give a presentation on it.
Infrastructure: As it is an IIT, you can expect very huge infrastructure. Also, the campus is really big with a hostel and a lot of space, plus greenery is everywhere. The library is my favorite, having lots of books and a group discussion room in it. So overall, there is nothing less here for students. The classrooms are clean, well-equipped, and smart classes are available too. The college campus has so many facilities, like Wi-Fi, sports fields, and all that.
Faculty: The college faculty is very experienced and highly qualified, and they are very well known. The ratio is about 180 teachers. A college exam is in the semester format, where we have to give an exam every semester in order to get promoted to the next semester, and it is medium-hard to pass the exam.
Other: The college mostly organizes the annual fest, freshmen party, and farewell party to encourage the students in their new college life. The college also organized many types of sports and extracurricular activities on campus so that the students could be physically active and work on their sports activities.
