Infrastructure: I am from the afternoon shift. The college has a very good infrastructure. Wi-Fi is available only for the laptops.

It has a reputed name for the HRM department and even the college has its own standard.
Placements: 1.85% will be a good % for placements.
2.65000-50000 INR is the maximum package offered.
3. CTS, TCS, RANE etc. are the most reputed organisation and frequent ones.
4. HR, labour law, etc. and even manufacturing is good.
Infrastructure: 1. Library, Wi-Fi, classrooms, conference hall, auditorium are good enough but the canteen is one the worst part of this college.
2. The college is better enough to survive but the sports, culture, the events offered in the college will be more entertaining and knowledgeable.
Faculty: 1. The faculty is good but it is too partial and stressful.
2. I think it will provide good employment in good organisations.
Other: It is a good college.
