College review by the student in the college.
Placements: 70% of students got placed. I can't clearly say that 12 LPA is the highest package of our college. TCS is the company that visits our college, along with Accenture, Wipro, and some other top companies. There are companies that we go through online. Clubs are available in the college that would benefit the students.
Infrastructure: All good about the facilities and infrastructure available for our course and department. Food is moderate and the staff are above average. There was a health center in our college. They give a big opportunity in games and sports.
Faculty: Teachers are helpful. They are qualified and knowledgeable. The quality of teaching depends on the staff. They are not all the same. This course curriculum is relevant. I don't know about that, but our syllabus is more relevant to it. It is very difficult to score marks and get an O grade, and many get arrears.
Other: I got this course in counseling. They should focus on one language. They are all good.

College and placements are good. Getting a seat through counseling is better.
Placements: Placement is good. We can get placed by our skills. All opportunities are available; the thing is, how we are going to use them. Companies like Zoho and Infosys will come for placement drives. The average package offered was nearly 3 LPA, while the lowest package was 1.2 LPA.
Infrastructure: Information Technology and Computer Science have similar curricula. The hostel is just above average; 6 sharing beds in Habitat is okay, but the food was the worst. The campus is hygienic, with greenery around. The computer labs have basic facilities. Otherwise, it has good infrastructure, and there is a teachers' lounge.
Faculty: Teachers are good. If you are ready to use them, they will be ready to teach you and train you. The curriculum is not bad, and exam questions are generated by ChatGPT. The course curriculum is relevant, but its effectiveness relies heavily on the teaching.

Satisfied because of good placement and infrastructure.
Placements: More than 80% of students in my department who were eligible for placement got placed. There are super dream packages as well. Only if you are dedicated and have the required skills. Here, you'll get plenty of free time to learn. If you use that perfectly. You will succeed.
Infrastructure: The infrastructure is not top-tier, but good. Hostel facilities are also good, but the food served in the hostel is one of the worst. If you opt for the AC hostel. There won't be a non-vegetarian menu option for you, non-vegetarian food is provided in non-AC hostels for boys, but only 3 times a week.
Faculty: As it is an autonomous college. The exams conducted are evaluated inside the college by REC faculty members only. The questions for exams are generated by ChatGPT. Some faculty members know things well and guide you well. On the other hand, there are also ones who'll just read PPTs and get paid.
