I am dissatisfied because of transportation and placements in 2018.

Placements: Almost 60% of the students got placed in our course. The highest salary offered was Rs. 47,000 per month. The lowest salary offered was Rs. 17,0000 per month. L&T was the top recruiting companies. Practical training, survey camps, industrial visit, etc., are the top roles offered to students. Almost 40% of the students got an internship in construction companies.

Infrastructure: Facility and infrastructure of our college are not that bad, but it is okay when compared to other colleges. The hostel has Wi-Fi facilities. The college is located in a rural place. In my hostel, the food served was good. There are no medical facilities nearby us. They give more importance to sports and games.

Faculty: Teachers in our college are good and very useful to us. They are qualified and possess good knowledge about the course. They were well-experienced in their field. This course curriculum is relevant, and students were ready for the industry.

Other: In this course, I can get a job easily, and I can start my own construction company. The college should improve our practical skills and decrease studying works. Many events and fests were organised in our college. The campus crowd is less and connected to many branches of college. Scholarships also provide. Many extracurricular activities were conducted here.

Our college is one of the best in Coimbatore.

Placements: Probably 40% students will be placed in our campus interview and year by year placement percentage decreases. It will increase unemployment. Many top companies like amazon, flipcart, bosch, WIPRO, etc. The highest, average and the lowest salary offered will be based on the talent and the standard of the company offered.

Infrastructure: The infrastructure of our college and department is very good and perfect. No Wi-Fi facilities is not provided for students. Library helps lot of students to score good marks in examinations and also it helps to gain knowledge. Faculty members we had are good.

Faculty: Faculty members are good. But we expect the teaching performance can be improved because our course is difficult to study. They are knowledgeable but not enough expressive in sharing it. The course is curriculum relevant. It makes every student industry ready.

Other: I chose this course on my own personal interest because I love construction.
