About good college but have some negatives too.

Placements: Unfortunately, we did not have any placements at my college. There was no recruitment for the course in my college. But they provided internships for every group in our college. Top roles were microbiologists and other jobs were available in government and private sectors.

Infrastructure: Infrastructure at my college was good. Labs were good. Classrooms were good and clean. We did not have college attached hostel but government hostel near my college. It was free and good too. We had a canteen in my college, and the basic needs of students were provided.

Faculty: Faculty members were helpful, skilled, qualified, and knowledgeable. This course curriculum was relevant, and it made students ready for the industry. Semester exams were not that much difficult. The pass percentage was 90% in my college.

Other: It had vast job opportunities, and I am interested in this course, so I chose this course.

My college experience with pros and cons.

Placements: I took the Electronics and Communication Engineering course in my B.Tech. as per my brother and relatives' guidance, as they told me that I have a chance of getting a job in core companies and also on the software side. The college brought some core companies like Medha, Moschip, etc.

Infrastructure: The classrooms are okay, but not so excellent. The infrastructure is good, and our college prioritises the environment by planting many trees and plants around the college. The hostel food is decent, and the facilities in the hostel can be improved. The canteen was improved recently, and there is sufficient space for sports and games.

Faculty: The faculty and their knowledge were top-notch. They extend their support to the students beyond the curriculum. They explain everything in a practical way possible. The semester exams are conducted with mid-level difficulty, making it possible to pass for most of the students, and about 80% students pass on the first attempt.

Other: The things I would wish can be improved are that many more core companies should visit my branch, so that ECE students can get placed in their core branch companies. Also, it should provide more industrial exposure to us. Events can be conducted in a larger number than they are now. Campus life is peaceful and good.
