Maximum companies would be the core companies.

Placements: Placement results of our discipline are lower than other department results but alumni of our discipline work in good companies with top-rated packages. They were assured of providing at least one offer with minimal pay which helps to develop skills and work experience. They are good at building networking among core companies.

Infrastructure: Possibilities for exploring industrial visits, and tours are very less but students are allowed for such activities at least once a year. Immediate suspension is raised from the side of college management if we are involved in any unnecessary activities. Food shortages often occur in the canteen zones.

Faculty: As my disciplines mostly belong to the core segment, so mostly include practical knowledge and experience. For uniqueness and complexity, I completely chose this destination. Teachers are enriched with years of excellence in the field of mechanical engineering.
