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.

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.

I have.a good experience at the college, but I am dissatisfied with the hostel and canteen food.

Placements: About 80% of the students tend to get placed every year. The highest salary package offered was 9 LPA and the lowest salary package offered was 2.5 LPA. The average salary package offered ranges from 3.5-4 LPA - Top recruiting companies like Cognizant, Tech Mahindra, TCS, Kyndryl, Rapid Data Technologies, Hexaware Technologies, Sutherland, etc., visit the college to hire students. Almost 75% of the students from my course got internships from companies like Cognizant, Tech Mahindra, Rapid Data Technologies, Kanini 3 Solutions, etc. The top roles offered are software engineer trainee, graduate engineer trainee, software test engineer trainee, support engineer, etc.

Infrastructure: The department labs are equipped with modern and advanced equipment, high-speed LAN, and Wi-Fi connections. Classrooms are well-lit, spacious, and can easily accommodate 70-80 students. It also has projectors in every class. The library comprises all the relevant books for the course. It consists of more than 10,000 books either relevant to the course or not. We can access the online library function to reserve books and access some e-books. The hostel rooms and the food are average

Faculty: Teachers are very helpful. All the teachers are PhD holders. They are friendly, and their teaching method is very reasonable and understandable. The course curriculum matches the ongoing trends in the market and keeps us updated. They also make the students industry-ready with practical hands-on knowledge. Semester exams are moderately difficult and it will be easier if we pay attention in the class and don't have to bother learning after that.
