Improper hostel and the management.

Placements: In this college, 85% of students got placed. The packages are moderate and the staffs are not giving the proper coaching and placement training for the average students. They give importance to their subject's marks and their own subject and the HOD is more arrogant.

Infrastructure: In this college, the hostel food is very poor. The warden is so strict and he does not respond to the complaints and take action for the students when they make small mistakes. The hostel is very poor and the staffs are so irritating in the hostel.

Faculty: In this college, they conduct internal exams which are useless. The students who fail the internal exams, need to attend the coaching classes in the evening at 5 o'clock. This system is more irritating for the students who are coming from a long distance.

It has the best infrastructure.

Placements: Our college provides 100% placements every year. Mostly, our college has placements from the BPO company for the IT department. IT students did not have enough IT companies to get placed. The highest package offered to students till now is 5 LPA only from 1 company.

Infrastructure: The infrastructure of our college is the best one when compared to other small colleges. New buildings are built for the upcoming courses. The hostel provides below-average food. The hostel is not good enough for the students to eat and stay.

Faculty: Faculty members of our college are good. Many faculty members are highly skilled. The teaching of the faculty members is good. Many curriculum activities are conducted by the college. Exams are also good in college. If students want to study and learn then this college is good for them.

Other: I chose this course to learn more about the industry.

The worst college and management.

Placements: In our college, placement training in the current year is not well. In my department's final year, only 50% of students are placed. Many companies visit our college to drive but only four or five members are picked for the whole college next year. It is most complicated to get placed on campus.

Infrastructure: Infrastructure of college is not good. Classroom infrastructure is good. My college does not provide parking facilities for students' vehicles. They do not have any ground to play outdoor games. The ground is small and the canteen is not maintained correctly.

Faculty: In my college, they are teaching well and easily clear a semester. The pass percentage is above 95%. Staffs are strict and they are not able to bunk the class. Teaching is well but other extra teaching facilities are not there in my college.

Other: There are no events in conditioning. Symposium and cultural are not celebrated grandly, and don't have any expectations to join a college.

The worst College I have ever seen.

Placements: The percentage of students got placed in my course is 5% only. In my department, my senior strength is 60 but from that 60 only 1 or 2 students are placed in the core company, other than that 10 students are placed in BPOs and the highest package is 7 LPA and the lowest is 1.5 LPA.

Infrastructure: In my college, hostel facilities are worst. It has Wi-Fi, but can't connect to everyone. It has a gym only for the showcase. Food is worse and there is no optional food only meals for lunch and dinner is much worse. Sports is just like school.

Faculty: Teachers are just like school teachers, not everyone but more are like school staff. Course curriculum is much worse just they complete the portion other than that do nothing. Only good thing in my college is you can easily get a degree certificate.

Other: There are no events conducted except cultural which is also like school annual day. They help to get scholarships which is another good thing.

There is pressure on students. Teachers target students, creating a not-so-good atmosphere.

Placements: Only 10% of students get placed in companies that are not relevant to the course. Placements should be increased that are relevant. Packages are also less than 2 LPA, and many students still don't have jobs. Some companies didn't give offer letters.

Infrastructure: The library and lab are in good condition, but sometimes there are very strict procedures. The canteen food is the worst, and money is wasted while studying there. The infrastructure is a little poor, but comparatively, it is okay. A Wi-Fi connection is not available.

Faculty: Faculty is friendly only if you are a good student or a topper. The curriculum is the worst. Exams are easier to pass. Teachers target students and give them mental pressure, which may lead to anxiety, depression, and more. The management is the one who allows these kinds of activities for their good name in society.
