Good Infrastructure, faculty, and fests.

Placements: Almost 70 percent are placed, and the rest move forward to continue their further studies in M.Tech, MBA, or MS in foreign countries. Top companies do not visit this college. Only medium companies with packages of 4 -7 LPA are seen in placements.

Infrastructure: Classrooms are good, but there is no air conditioning, neither in the labs nor in the classrooms. The hostel and food are good. The girls' hostel is 5 mins from college, but the boys' hostel is 50 mins away, and no direct means of transport available. Canteen food is not so good (taste-wise).

Faculty: The faculty is good, and their experience is also good. Most teachers have done their M.Tech, and some are pursuing their Ph.D. The course curriculum is also good. It does not make the student industry-ready, it just provides the basic knowledge of the real work field.

Other: Pillai College is highly known for its events and famous for its fest, like Alegria festival of joy, which happens every year in the month of february but this fest is of high cost for each and everyone.

Absolutely satisfied with the college curriculum, facilities, and interior.

Placements: It is overall a good college for pursuing engineering. If we talk about placements, then it gives an average package of 7 LPA, and almost 80% of students are placed. The lowest package is of 3 LPA, and the placement season begins from the 3rd year, and most of the students are placed in the 4th year.

Infrastructure: Wi-Fi at Pillai College is not good, and students face difficulties in such cases. It is advisable to use our own internet for academic use. The library is huge, and all the required resources are available, but there is a lot of noise there, and it is almost impossible to concentrate.

Faculty: Teachers are very professional and the best. They have deep knowledge about the subjects. The course curriculum is appropriate and helpful for future use and job exposure. It makes students ready for the industry, 50% rest depends on the students themselves.

Other: Best College you can choose this one.

The college has good infrastructure and good placements.

Placements: There are more students in CE than in other branches. The highest package is 32 LPA, and average package is 4 LPA. TCS is top recruiting company. Placement cell is good. But only a high CGPA doesn't give you a job, you need to do internships and other courses too.

Infrastructure: The infrastructure of the college is good. The campus is quite pretty. Hostel is also good but meal have some problems. Firstly you will find the food good but later you start avoiding it only breakfast and dinner are provided no lunch. Don't know about medical facilities, no washing machines.

Faculty: Teachers are helpful, qualified, and knowledgeable. The teaching is very good. The course is good. It makes students industry ready and other courses offered by NPETL help them learn more. Semester exams are a little difficult and 40% is a passing percentage.

It has a good crowd and campus placements.

Placements: Since I am in my first year itself, so I don't know much about placements but according to my seniors, the placement structure is pretty decent and many companies visit our college. The minimum package is 4 LPA and the highest package offered till now is 32 LPA.

Infrastructure: The infrastructure of the college is posh, clean, and attractive. Classrooms are just like normal school, college classrooms. The library of the Commerce section is fully air-conditioned. The canteen provides hygiene and decent food. Instead of the canteen, we can call it a restaurant as it provides almost everything.

Faculty: As of the first year for me, the teaching quality is good. Teachers are very helpful to everyone. They also give personal attention to each kid and never hesitate to solve queries and doubts of students. All teachers till now are friendly to us.

Other: I chose B.Tech. in Electronics and Computer Science Engineering course. I chose this course because this course provides the information, knowledge, and skills for both the courses of Electronics and Computer Science. If we talk about the fests, no doubt Pillai College of Engineering organised one of the greatest fests in the whole of Maharashtra.
