It is a totally expensive and worthy institute.

Placements: A considerable number of companies participate in recruitment drives. Some of the notable companies for our specific department are Thales, Indus Towers, Quest Global, Emerson, Qualcomm, and Sodexo, with packages above 3.2 LPA. Emerson offers 8.7 LPA, which is considered the highest package in the 2024 recruitment drives for Electrical Engineering.

Infrastructure: There are two campuses within the institution, with a distance of 3 to 4 km between them. All types of transport facilities are available to and from the campus area. There are no worries about safety and security matters. Services like buses and two-wheelers are supported by the campus for movement within the campus.

Faculty: A team of 15 to 18 professors and associate professors is appointed for every specific discipline.

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.

Infrastructure: College officials provide seats to the students based on both direct admission and merit admission. All their activities were officially published on their official website, keeping them updated on the social platform. The Institute had consistently been a part of preparing young talent for the nation.

Faculty: Professors rule the college, they take all things more casually, which seems they show little interest in the education standards of students. Professors exaggerate even small issues to the biggest ones, which creates anxiety in the minds of the students.
