It is the best college for food technology.

Placements: Almost 80% of the placements are offered in campus placements. The highest salary package offered is 7 LPA, and the minimum salary package offered is 3.5 LPA. Top recruiting companies of our college are Nestle and Aachi Masala. Almost 100% of the students got an internship in companies like Amul, Aachi Masala, Nestle, Paper Boat and in well-reputed companies. Food technology is the best course in which you can study how to start up and how to increase the self-life of food and many others.

Infrastructure: It is good and Wi-Fi campus. The library opens at 7 am and close at 11 pm, and it is the best library. The hostel is very good, but north Indian have to manage with food items. Food items are not good because all time they serve dosa and idly. They don't serve chapati, and maximum time they serve rice. Medical facilities are available on the campus. Sports are good like a basketball court, badminton court, football group, cricket ground, volleyball court and many others.

Faculty: Faculty members of our college are good and helpful but not every time. All teachers are PhD degree holders, and teaching quality is good. This college comes under TNAU, i.e., Tamil Nadu Agriculture University. This course is enough to make a good manager for the future, and you can able to solve all problems with food.

Other: I have chosen this course because this course is good than mechanical engineering. The best thing about this course is you get to learn many things about the food inside as well as outside. The syllabus is vast. Event is conducted here named I Fest. For every two years, there is one big day named Open Day in which 10,000 people are coming to see our college, and every month competitions are conducted here.
