The infrastructure is average. Dissatisfied because there is no canteen in our college.

Placements: The percentage of placement of the students placed through our college was 100%. The highest salary offered to the student in the entry-level was 15 thousand per month, and according to me, the lowest salary was 10 thousand per month. The companies that visited our campus has the good name in the hospitality, and the industry companies like Oberoi, Taj, ITC, Mahindra, and much more popular companies visited our campus. In our college, the percentage of the internship is same as of the placement on the campus. Almost, 100% of the students got the internship. The maximum stipend was Rs. 2,000 and the minimum was Rs. 800. The placement cell of our college is helpful for us and useful too.

Infrastructure: The infrastructure of our college is designed in a good manner. Our institute is fully Wi-Fi enabled, and the labs are designed in a good manner. The student can clear their doubts through the library, and they can find every book regarding their doubt. The ground of the college is well-maintained, and the hostel room is spacious comparing to the others hostels. Till now, there is no canteen in the college, but they are planning to open it soon.

Faculty: The faculty members are well-qualified and helpful to every student. They help the students in clarifying their doubts. According to me, they are knowledgeable. The teaching quality is well. They teach us through the blackboard and even with the slides prepared by them in the computers.

Other: Every year, the sports day is sponsored by the college. The farewell party is there for the seniors.
