Barely Recommended: Poor College.

Placements: The student strength was quite appreciable; however, the placements promised were never guaranteed. The facilities provided were extremely poor, and placements were not even a topic of discussion. No internships were provided. Only paid internships, which students had to find on their own, were available.

The college is very beautiful and good with experienced teachers.

Placements: I have heard from good seniors that this college is well known for its replacements. Students get placed with a very good salary package that ranges from 2-10 LPA from well-known companies. More than 80% of the students from our course got an internship. I too have high hopes and this college has a very good reputation among all colleges.
