Not satisfied with placement as the college charges hefty fee.

Placements: Placements are good for some departments and bad for others. FC and F&LA get nice placements while the other 5 departments suffer with either low-paying jobs or even no jobs at times. So, depends on the course you choose. Earlier it was quite good, but it's regrading.

Infrastructure: Only a girl's hostel is available and the college is too small. Small playground and library. Overall the college is very small. The labs are enough with all the resources required like knitting machines, overlock machines and of course SNLS machines.

Faculty: Faculty members are well-qualified and very willing to help you out. Semester exams can be very stressful especially the jury that happens once every semester. The course is quite relevant though and prepares you for the fashion industry in the end.

Other: Very few fests are organized.
