To enjoy college life, you may join here.

Placements: Compared with all the engineering colleges near Pondicherry and Tamil Nadu, our college gives better placement results than many other colleges. However, the overall placement result is only moderate. The college mainly aims to prepare students for TCS placements, as if it is the only company in the country. I think the placement support and preparation are poor due to a lack of updated knowledge about current industry requirements.

Infrastructure: There are three canteens and a food court. Students can also order food from nearby hotels using online food delivery apps.

Faculty: Teachers are more casual. They are not fear about portion completion, examinations, or students' performance. They do not share notes properly with students. If students ask for notes before exams, teachers usually share one or two downloaded notes just a few days before the exams in a careless manner.

Other: This is one campus with all the courses in the city of Pondicherry. It is well known and easily recognized by the people of Tamil Nadu and Pondicherry. Cultural events are conducted twice a year by inviting top celebrities in a grand manner. This campus is exclusively for Engineering and MCA courses, and there are two other branches of the college in Pondicherry offering other courses.

Infrastructure: It will be a good infrastructure with good airflow and positive views. Wi-Fi is available in every lab, making it easy for us to access and learn. The quality of the hostel is good and clean, but there are fewer restrooms. In fact, they are building a new hostel with a gym and more restrooms, which will be good to stay in.

Faculty: Teachers are more helpful and friendly in teaching and practical activities. They are eager to guide us and show us a good path, in which we participated with confidence and won many prizes. The course is relevant and prepares students for real-world scenarios, which are more relevant to our daily lives.

Other: I chose CSE because I like to work on code and understand how back-end systems run. This course is the backbone of all other courses. Additional topics like AI are being added, which is a boon now.
