Not completely satisfied because of placements in core jobs, but overall, it is good.

Infrastructure: When I was in my 2nd and 3rd year, my hostel was very good in terms of cleanliness and infrastructure. That building was newly constructed. The 4th-year hostels are average. The college is going to make some changes to these hostels. The 1st-year hostels are comparatively better now than ours were.
