Master's studies in my native place.

Placements: Firstly, the most talented M.Sc. graduates got hired by the college as assistant professors. Also, the interested graduates are permitted to participate in the company drives that commonly occur. Blockrock offers the highest pay for students in the role of finance and banking.

Infrastructure: It's a campus where even the unknown strangers immediately help us when we reach out to them. It's a cool, hill hostel with fewer conditions, but it's mandatory to fill out the hostel records while living and entering the hostel zones. Transport facilities are available for good safety purposes.

It has a problematic subject with a lot of problems.

Placements: The placement office assists students in finding the right career path in different fields. It recommends several job offers in the referral colleges. Some of the corporate companies and banking sectors remained as the active recruiters in positions like quant engineer, teaching, researchers, etc.

Faculty: We will not see any growth in the teaching patterns of lectures that simply repeat the same material for students from all semesters. Lectures motivate students by their actions, which is disappointing for students with a lot of desire and wishes. General counseling is provided to all students once a month, considering students' concerns and worries. They took some steps to rectify it. Standards of college keep on shining. There is no space for creating disturbances and distractions in students' academic education.

Overall perspectives of mine.

Placements: The comprehensive course curriculum and diverse career opportunities in electronics offer students a wide range of prospects, from embedded systems, telecommunication and VLSI design. The mean package provided to the hired students would potentially between 4.3 LPA to 6.17 LPA.

Faculty: They provided nurturing guidance, helping students navigate challenges and unlock their potential. Their dedication inspires confidence and motivates students to excel. But most of the teachers often navigate to some other colleges for some reasons. For me, exams were the most boring subject of all time.

Other: Students showcase extensive performance in various technical and non-technical fields. Events are organized in the college for the isolated students' union of all the disciplines. So the organisation was literally busy managing the colleges and didn't have enough time to deal with these problems.
