Great place to study but can't enjoy your college days.

Placements: 100 percentage of students got placed in our batch because there was a great demand for freshers post COVID. The highest package is around 5 lacs per annum and the lowest package is 2.5 lacs per annum. My batch students got placed in companies like TCS, Wipro, Emphasis, Intellect arena, Zoho etc. 40% of students got internship opportunities. Roles like software developer, technical support, system engineer etc are offered to students.

Infrastructure: Mobile phones are not allowed inside the campus. Students get a locker where they can keep their belongings and mobile phones. With no mobile phones, there is no Wi-Fi connection for students use. Labs are okay with sufficient number of computers and equipment. The infrastructure is great with classes having projectors. The library has internet facility.

Faculty: The teachers were friendly, helpful, and highly qualified. They are knowledgeable but the way of teaching of some teachers was excellent. The course is relevant and separate training is provided to prepare students for placement. Personally I faced a bit of difficulty to clear maths exams but everything else was easy.

Other: Celebration and events will be less. There are lots of internal assessments exams conducted.

The management is concerned only about marks, and a test is conducted every day.

Placements: More than 90% of students got placed, but the companies were not good. The packages were very low, and some companies only offered internships for one year. There were no top companies for recruitment. The roles offered were apprenticeship and trainee.

Infrastructure: The infrastructure is good, but there are no separate buildings for different branches. The college has only 2 buildings. The library is well maintained. The hostel is good and well maintained. The food in the mess is terrible. No importance is given to sports.

Faculty: The teachers are well qualified. They are knowledgeable, and the teaching quality is good except 1 or 2 teachers. The curriculum is structured according to the semester exams. I am not sure if it makes students industry-ready. The semester exams are hard since the college is affiliated with Anna University.
