Madurai's best management college.

Placements: From first year of the college, companies offer summer internships for sales and marketing. In the second year, placements process starts. Companies like TCS, HCL, Capgemini, Denver, Tata technologies, Croma, and Xiaomi offer jobs for business development roles. Packages start from 3 lacs and the highest goes up to 18 lacs. In our batch in the third semester, 50% students got placed and remaining 30% got placed in the final semester.

Infrastructure: The college has excellent infrastructure. The building is surrounded by garden in which we have sports ground including cricket and football fields. Recently, Wi-Fi service started in the campus. The computer labs have separate PCs allocated for every student. Library is in the campus having a bunch of books which need to be renewed after 15 days. Hostel is available in the campus having facilities like laundry, food, water, chair, bed, fan, and blankets by the hostel. 24*7 security is provided in the hostel. First aid kits are provided every where for medical conditions.

Faculty: The teachers are very helpful, Ph.D. and PGDM qualified from reputed NITs. Their teaching quality is good, they clear our concepts rather than only focusing on theory. The other college staff is very rude, if any query is found in applications, their behaviour is very arrogant. The course is good having demanding concepts. The professors give projects and presentations. Mid sem exams and class tests are easy but term end exams are hard, they need proper preparation.

Other: Events held are Pongal and cultural night. Campus crowd includes different people from all over Tamil Nadu.
