Placements: The campus placements are good, with multiple offers in multiple domains. The average package offered is around 17 LPA, and the median is around 16 LPA.

Infrastructure: We used to indulge in various activities like swimming, and we had a proper gymkhana where we used to work out. It was well-equipped with all the latest machines. Apart from this, the college has a proper seminar hall. The hostel is good and well-maintained with ventilated rooms and 24-hours water and electricity supply. Apart from this, the hostel has a good and friendly environment, which actually helps us to fit in very quickly.
Faculty: We are taught various aspects of managerial concepts like managerial economics, financial management, and operational management. Along with this, there was a mandatory dissertation report which was supposed to be submitted during the final year.
