1Placements2Infrastructure2Faculty1Crowd & Campus Life1Value for Money

Don't take admission here if you want better college life. If you want a degree, then go for it.

Placements: 10% of students are placed. The lowest salary package offered is 1.5 LPA, and the highest salary package offered is 4 LPA. Top recruiting companies are Infosys and TCS. 20% of students got internships from our college. Internships provided by the college are of no use and not that much worthy. Instead of going with college internship, you can find a better one externally.

Infrastructure: Labs and library are top-notch, except there's always a network issue in the college. No Wi-Fi is provided. Medical facilities are average. Sports and games facilities are good. Mess and canteen food are below average. No non-veg is allowed inside the college, not even in the mess.

Faculty: Teachers are not that helpful, except few. The curriculum doesn't make students industry-ready. Exams are quite average. Semester exams can be quite tough as the papers are made by the university. So you need to study well for semester exams. More than 50% faculty members don't know the subject they are teaching.

Other: I chose this course just to have a professional degree. There should be more focus on practical work, except theoretical. Event and extracurricular activities are held once in a year.
