Good college, infrastructure, and placements.
Placements: From the 2nd semester, we are eligible to get internships, so along with many students, we can get PPO. The number of companies visited is all there on the NITK website, but placement is good. In my course, the highest package is 10 LPA, the lowest is 4.5 LPA, and the average is 5 LPA-6 LPA. In my course, around 85-90 percent of students get placed. I wanted a job in a pharmaceutical company.
Infrastructure: Wi-Fi all over the campus with CCTV security. Classrooms are top-notch, and all facilities, like projectors and smart boards, are available. The library is good, and all types of books and magazines are available. Hostels are good. There are 2-seated and 3-seated rooms. There are different grounds for different sports.
Faculty: All faculty members have good qualifications, but some courses are not relevant to us, so it is very difficult to understand. So we are thinking that the faculty is not good. In my course, two faculty members are good. They always focus on good teaching with industry knowledge, others just come and teach Maths and go.
