I liked my departments faculty so much they are so friendly and have great knowledge.

Placements: Internship opportunities are less. Placements are good but internship opportunities are average according to me. But have projects which are helpful to use like field based project, mini project, major project. There are separate classes for placements called PAT(PLACEMENT AND TRAINING CENTER) There they teach every thing which are useful for over placement and they charge for that around 15000 and condition is to get chance in pat is the student CGPA must be greater than 6.6 and minimum 2 backlogs are allowed.

Infrastructure: Many events and occasions take place in university starting from Onam to Pongal to Ugadi and Christmas. Onam usually happens in September and Pongal in February and Christmas in December. The library also has a very good range and accessibility of books.

It is an open and ragging free campus.

Placements: The placements are pretty much good on this campus. Most of our seniors and super seniors got placed in various companies like Group 10 Technologies, Accenture, Rafeen IT Solution Hyderabad, Alakriti and many more. The average salary offered by companies was 4 lac, the minimum salary offered was 3 lac, and the maximum is 6 lac per annum. Approximately, 70% of students get placed from campus placements. Mostly, the companies recruit them as a software developer, tester, and the post depends on their performance as well.

Infrastructure: Free Wi-Fi is available everywhere on the campus and departments. The classrooms and labs are well-organised, and a/c is also available. The campus has a central library having 10 lac books and full-fledged reading hall. A health centre is available on the campus. Cricket and football stadium is also here, and other sports like tennis, table tennis, and volleyball courts are also here. Free bus service is available within the campus. 5 canteens are there on the campus, but the food quality of mess is just okay.

Faculty: The faculty members are well qualified, and they provide best teaching quality to the students. Assignments and seminars are given by the teachers. The student-faculty ratio is 15:1. We didn't get industry exposure. The curriculum is useful, but syllabus needs to be updated.

Other: Various cultural and academic events are organised by different departments. Fests are celebrated on the campus. The campus is not much crowded because the campus is within 800 acres of land. The campus is connected with east cost road highway, Chennai. Beach is just 5 minutes away from the campus.

Satisfied with the aspect of studies, infrastructure, faculty & facilities. No good placement.

Placements: The placement was not good for my seniors (2017 pass out batch). That time, only 1-2 companies came to the campus, but now, for us, 4-5 companies came till now. So, I hope that in future, for upcoming batches, more companies will come. The average package is 3.5 LPA to 5 LPA.

Infrastructure: The infrastructure is too good. For the practical lab, an advanced lab is there. 24 hours lab facilities can be provided if you need. Sufficient classrooms are there. Facilities are too good. Almost everything is too good. A very large library is there, as well as, a reading hall.

Faculty: The faculty members are too good. They are helpful & their teaching technique is too good. The course curriculum is also too good. The courses are going to be updated in 2018. Some new subjects are also going to be added like Python, AI, Machine Learning, etc. So, overall, the faculty members & course curriculum are too good.

Other: Extracurricular activities are always organised. Scholarships also provided by the university.
