My review of this college.

Placements: The placement and Job opportunities are great here. Every year, many students get tier-preferred jobs directly from the college. Companies like Google, Infosys, Microsoft, Citigroup, Eaton Ltd, ITC, John Deere, Microsoft, Morgan Stanley, Mu Sigma, Nvidia Corporation, etc., hire students. The stipend varies from company to company for different courses. It ranges from 5-6 LPA to 50 LPA. Companies coming to our campus provide full-time placement and internship for all branches except mechanical.

Infrastructure: We have good hostel infrastructure with playing grounds all around. Rooms have sufficient space, and everyone has their own room with Wi-Fi unlimited throughout the day. It has facilities like water purifiers, washing machines, a common hall, a library, an indoor playing room, etc.

Faculty: Faculty members of our college though have less experience but they are very dynamic. Teachers are very supportive, especially in the field of Maths and Computer Science. Teachers themselves give us very good projects to work on. They guide us through every problem we face in doing those projects and turn-by-turn analysis of the problems. Exams are so frequent that we will cultivate a habit of studying. To complete a course, we need to pass a quiz, make a project, and clear mid-semester and end-semester exams. Exams have highly intellectual questions. Practicals are much emphasis. The course curriculum is neatly designed to make sure that students learn all the important things without a lot of pressure. Many students here like it. The research part is also great here but I guess it can be improved a bit more. I always feel the frequency is low but we have to work a lot in labs in a single shift.
