According to me, it is a good experience and a good place to learn and grow.

Placements: 80 percent got placed. One thing about REC is that they give specialized training for placements. They conduct summer and winter campuses from the 3rd year, making placement ready in the final year. The highest package is 14 LPA, and the lowest is 3 LPA. Top recruiters include Cognizant, Accenture, Prodapt, CEI India, Hexaware, and KaaR Technologies. Nearly 20 percent got only an internship, and the remaining 60 percent got an internship plus PPO. The top roles are software engineer.

Infrastructure: Labs are air-conditioned. Wi-Fi is provided only in the hostel and labs. Classrooms are neat and clean, and the library is also good. Coming to food, it is nice and tasty. You have a variety of canteens inside the campus which you can use. Medical facilities are also good. Game tournaments are conducted frequently good practice is also given.

Faculty: Teachers are helpful, but you have to self learn in most cases. Semester exams will be moderate as the question papers are AI-generated. If you are thorough on the syllabus, then it will be easy. The curriculum is industry-specific. 90 percent of students pass the exam.

Other: I am a Computer Science background student, so I chose this. It is a general course, so I could learn about anything in that domain. The main thing that attracts students is the Recharge fest. It will happen for 3 days, great fun with good guests, and also we have Pongal, Onam, and Diwali celebrations. More than that, hackathons, conferences, and symposiums are conducted regularly, and you can even go and connect with people from other colleges, too. Scholarships are also awarded. Extracurricular they are more than 20 clubs, and games and tournaments are conducted frequently.

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.
