This is a center college that has much more facilities than other institutes.
Placements: In terms of placements, this college is the best; it provides almost 95-100% placements. A lot of companies from outside India also come for placements. The minimum package from this college is about 3-4 lakhs per annum, which is good for a fresher. Many of our seniors appreciate the kind of work the college does for placements.
Infrastructure: The hostels are near and clean, and the food is also good. Being in a hilly area, the weather here is always pleasant. The Wi-Fi works a little slowly. Also, the market is a bit far away, which is not very helpful for students; they have to travel at least 8-10 km for facilities like major medical issues and for eating, etc.
Faculty: Faculty and curriculum activities are just the best! The teachers are well-educated and very helpful. They assist you nicely with any of your work and explain everything calmly while helping with any problems you may have. Many cultural functions are held here, which are really appreciated by students!
Other: I was really interested in this field because you can travel across the world in this profession as well.
