You can surely join our college because all the faculty and infrastructure are good and nice.
Placements: In my college, they give programming practice by doing it in CodeChief. My college placement package will be up to 10 LPA. Also, they conducted many programs, like Google developed groups for learning about the cloud. They conducted many clubs for our skills.
Infrastructure: Good infrastructure and more and more infrastructure in my college. They have been in good condition. Mess food is very hygienic and tasty. In labs, we have many instruments like chemical, devices, system.
Faculty: 100% guaranteed for each student. Faculty members guide the students with exam results. Exams are easy to write. They have taught not only the syllabus, but also they are teaching the life skills of the engineer. Like making an AC, a fridge, and also a connection built, or a calling bell. We are learning not a subject, we are learning about the basics of engineering life.
Other: I selected my course for learning new things compared to studying in school. Nowadays, AI is going to rule. The main thing is that engineers are only going to rule in all the companies.

This college is well-suited for those who only do two things study and eat.
Placements: I'm currently in 3rd year of my UG in B.Tech IT, according to my department super seniors who were passed out in the year 2025. The percentage of graduates who got placed in campus selection was about 60% with an average package of 4 LPA. The highest package of the academic year 2025 is about 12 LPA and the lowest package of 3 LPA the graduates placed. The top recruiting companies are Infosys and Virtusa. The percentage of internships is about 30% provided by some new kickstart companies. Top roles offered by our course are full stack engineer, support engineer, product developer, etc.
Infrastructure: The whole infrastructure of my course and hostel is not as good compared with other colleges. The whole infrastructure of the college is about 28 years old. It gives you a feeling of amateurness. The Wi-Fi will be provided for the whole college 24/7. But in the case of power off they don't have any backup. The labs are well-maintained but you will rarely get a chance to use the labs. The infrastructure of classes is pretty average more like an old room, with a digital board. I hardly remember spending time in the library in case you need your department's permission to use the library.
Faculty: Faculty members are pretty experienced and friendly too. You can easily get along with them. 60% of the course curriculum is set by Anna University and the rest 40% is provided by respective partner companies. The exams like unit tests and internals are held very often. The more interested you are the more chance that you will get a good opportunity. The semester exams are a little difficult because the question paper is set by Anna University members. The pass percentage is about 92% of our course.
Other: I chose this course based on my own interests. The best thing about this course is that you can understand how software engineering works. This college is very bad if you are expecting for good campus life. There are no fests, no events, and nothing at all. All you need to do is study and write exams. 80% of the crowd in the college is amateurs they don't know how the outer world is. There are certain rules that must be followed by the students. Men should not talk with women. No phones are allowed inside the campus. No extracurricular activities are conducted.

Absolutely satisfied because of faculty members, good placements, & the infrastructure is very good.
Placements: About 12 LPA packages are placed, and 100% placements are guaranteed. Cognizant, Infosys, HCL, Zoho, Amazon, etc., are the companies for placements. Our seniors are placed in good companies. So, it is definitely an outstanding college, and fascinating placements are available here.

Faculty: 100% guaranteed results for each student. Faculty members guide the students with exam results. Exams are easy to write. Our faculty members are encouraging us to write the semester. We have improved the quality of education with smart TVs, and our faculty members are friendly.

Absolutely satisfied because of faculty, good placements, really good infrastructure & facilities.
Placements: Almost 100% of the final year students were placed at present from 10 LPA to 12 LPA. The companies they were placed at were good. Amazon, Zoho, Bosch like companies are hiring. They provide training for both soft skills and technical skills. Overall, the placement is good.
Infrastructure: Our infrastructure is better than most of the colleges I've ever seen. Each department has its own block for separate courses along with its respective labs. All department blocks are enabled with Wi-Fi. The classrooms are clean, and the environment is actually great for peaceful learning. As a hosteller, I really enjoyed my time staying there. The food is great, and in case of emergency, the health center is available 24/7. We had more chances to participate/practice a lot of sports as we liked. The food quality is great.
Faculty: The staff is good and friendly. They are really helpful. Personally, I believe the teaching is better than most colleges. They reshape us to be a great engineer. Special coaching is available on weekends. Semester exams are easy for us since we follow the notes exactly.
Other: As a B.Tech Artificial Intelligence and Data Science student, my course really helps us to get placed in good companies. The events are really enjoyable. Hostel day for boys and girls, Cultural programs, Women's day, and symposiums are conducted.

There is less scope.
Placements: About 40% of students have been placed each year. The highest package is up to 6 LPA, and the lowest is 2 LPA. Top roles are AI&this and ECE. Top recruiting companies are HCL, Zoho, Wipro, Ramco Systems, etc. Around 50 students get an internship from AI&this department. Top roles are offered at the very beginning level only.
Infrastructure: They provide internet access in labs. But there is no internet connection in hostels, which is so bad for this generation. The infrastructure of the hostels is good, but not many facilities are available here because it is located in a forest region.
Faculty: When you enter the first year, everything seems to be difficult. Teachers are qualified but not very helpful. Self learning is very important in this college. This course curriculum is not 100% relevant, but 70% is relevant. The entire syllabus can be learned in one night if you're capable, which is enough to pass.
Other: I chose this course because of the demand.
