Medical facilities are provided immediately; they also have Siddha and Ayurveda.

Faculty: Here the staff are very helpful. They have 20+ years of experience and motivate us every time we are down.

Got disappointed all the time.

Placements: For several other departments, various challenging roles with a number of twists and turns happen in every company placement drive, while for MBA, as usual, companies with average salaries are recruited. Hindustan Unilever Limited, Aditya Birla Group, Nestled, as other finance and banking companies are the primary and usual recruiters.

Infrastructure: Mess and crowded areas due to the high traffic admissions, specifically for the department of master of Business Administration, with approximately 140 to 160 students in every new batch. The sports areas are limited by permitting only the passionate students to play sports.

Faculty: The professors are assigned within the limited counts, sometimes professors from other departments came to handle any of the allied subjects. The internal grades location was based on the previous exam performances, added with the behaviour of us. The overall semester results would be above 80 percent.

Not enough package companies came for MBA recruitment.

Placements: The placements were dull with lower and below-average packages by the banking, marketing. Other management companies that were often invited for the campus, with HDFC Bank, Muthoot Finance, ICICI Bank, and Axis Bank offering minimum packages of 2.5 to 2.8 LPA for fresh recruitment.

Faculty: Professors were qualified with postgraduate and doctoral degrees, but were not so knowledgeable. Their level of relevance with the subjects was moderate, webinars based on discussions and fair talks were not so possible because professors were closely attached to the books. Karpagam College of Engineering was a private organization established years ago. It celebrated the success of the students in a proud manner to advertise the college and gain admissions, with a few seats reserved for their own college students and relatives in every batch by providing some fee concessions.
