My review about this college.

Placements: The 2-month internship helped in the exposure to industries and later good placements with experience. Placement was very good. Almost 95% students got placed within the graduation. The good companies come for the job recruitment. Also, the pool campus placement for engineering students at Presidency University. The average salary package offered was 3.0 LPA. Top recruiting companies like Wipro, Infosys, Mahindra, Accenture, TCS, Byju's, and HDFC Bank visited our campus for placements. Software engineer role was offered to the students. Nearly 70% of students got internships in different companies.

Infrastructure: Hostels were clean and had 2 and 3 sharing rooms. Each student got their own studying desk or table. Area of the rooms was large, and nearly every room had a balcony. The food provided was South Indian. The quality of food was good but it may taste different to different people.

Faculty: Faculty members were well-educated and knowledgeable. All faculty members helped in making the students better and provided comfortable way of teaching for everyone. But few require proper communication skills as they lack communication skills from teaching point of view. Exam structure was as follows, 2 tests of 30 marks each with weightage of 15% were conducted, 20 marks assignment with 10% weightage, 10 marks quiz and 10 marks other curricular activities with overall weightage of 10% was also included and an end term exam of 100 marks weighing 50% to the overall semester grade was conducted. The course curriculum was well-structured considering the practical view of knowledge. We had numerous industrial visits set up throughout the year. After each visit, we were all given assignments that would summarize the points discussed in those visits.
