It is worth for money because the college is so good in everything but the sports are only less.

Placements: If we have a good CGPA, we will get good placements, but it doesn't mean that those with lower CGPAs won't have chances. There are many companies like TCS, Woho, and Vibrio are coming to our college. They provide placement training for all students, so placements are good.

Infrastructure: The infrastructure of the college is so excellent. They have good infrastructure and they are building the new hostel. Classrooms and labs are in a good manner. The ideal lab of the college has a very good atmosphere. There we can get so many ideas.

Faculty: Our faculty members are very friendly and willing to help us study, especially if we have any arrears. We can approach the old faculty members, and they will clarify our doubts. They will give simple notes by which we can understand the concepts.

Dissatisfied because of faculty, average placements and no enjoyment.

Placements: 80% of students were placed in this course in our college. The highest package is 18 LPA, and the average package is 3.5 LPA. Top recruiting companies for our course are TCS, Hexaware, Zoho, CTS, etc. The roles offered include Machine Learning Engineer, AI Engineer, Data Analyst, and Software Engineer.

Infrastructure: The infrastructures are good for labs and the library, but in the classroom, it's average. They can't provide Wi-Fi for class; we have to use our personal devices. Hostels are not too good; they are moderate. Canteen food is also average, but prices are high compared to quantity and quality.

Faculty: Faculty are also said to be normal for this course; we have to learn by ourselves. Yes, the course curriculum is relevant and makes the students industry-ready. Semester exams are good to score a grade, and the pass percentage is 30% in theory. Then, add the internal mark; totally, we have to score above or equal to 50.

Other: I chose this course for data analyst. They did not conduct any event or any cultural.

Insights on Course Structure and Faculty in Computer Science.

Placements: Nearly most of the students were placed in my batch, and it's still going on. Up to date, the highest salary was offered by Content Sack, a figure of 13 LPA. There are further more companies offering a minimum of 4 LPA. The company named Zoho took an intern from our batch, and other companies like Hexaware and Multicore also provided internships.

Infrastructure: Coming to infrastructure, I would say that it's below average. They provide Wi-Fi within the circumstances, and it's not good either. The classrooms are good. Coming to labs, it's very well-equipped with updated systems, and the library is provided with more than 10,000 books of different genres.

Faculty: The faculty was quite short. It led to difficulties in the semester and providing quality education. Not all of them are good. There are some staff who take good care of your time. The curriculum is very strict to the course perspective, and they take advantage of every program conducted through the respective departments.

Other: I've chosen Computer Science and Engineering because it's a course everyone prefers these days, and I thought it has a good future. I wish they will focus on one perspective so we can lead in that domain. If we're talking about fests and extracurricular activities, they rarely happen.
