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.
