Knowledge is the key, they only focus on that. Placements are good enough.

Placements: About 80-90 percent of students got placed. As far as my knowledge the highest package is around 24 LPA, the lowest is around 4.5 LPA, and the average is around 6 LPA. Top reputed companies like TCS, Accenture, etc., coming to recruit but the number of recruitment is small. Our college has a strong networking texture in which my alumni are in better positions and have given us strong support.

Infrastructure: The campus is well-connected and provides access to a network in every area. Hostels are good, well-maintained, and the food is good only.

Faculty: The teachers are well knowledge and free to speak. They provide a friendly environment for us. They are well in their technical aspects and clearing doubts. The curriculum-related bases are very strong. Semester exams are quite difficult and testing. The pass marks vary for subjects by approximately 45 percent. Courses are in a better mode. They thought about all the fields of study. They give importance to the practical knowledge from the companies. They give additional training for personality development and help the students to get good at their technical level aspects as much as possible.

Other: I chose the course because the future and the development in this course had a great scope. The college makes the top-tier rankings in the state. The improvement needed was to make the areas easy to access. If you are a sports person you may get a job in sports but they didn't get a person into it. Events are good and well-managed.

Faculty: Faculty members are very helpful. They clear every doubt with an explanation. The curriculum is good. They provide more training for placements, but students feel more stressed. They also make students go for industry visits even in the first year. I am a first-year student, and I have not faced any semester exams yet.
