Good exposure and average placements.

Placements: Only 33 students from our batch are placed till now for techno roles, and also, the opportunities for IT roles are very limited, but for other courses, there are various opportunities. A few known and unknown companies came. For internships, they don't guide, students have to manage by themselves. There is no clear data on previous placements.

Infrastructure: Classrooms are well-maintained with good Wi-Fi, labs are properly equipped, and the library is pretty good with a huge space. I don't stay in hostel but I think it's pretty good. Food in the canteen is okay. They also provide mid-day meals to needy people. Medical support is available, sports are available, but not for all.

Faculty: Teachers are knowledgeable, qualified, and also helpful but at the same time they are repetitive in every semester. Teaching quality is decent. The curriculum or the syllabus is quite good according to the market but still needs improvement. Exams are quite good and the pass percentage is 40 percent.

Other: I chose this course mainly for the exposure and opportunities available in Bangalore. They should include more specialized teachers and more practical guides. Events and all are top-notch.
