It is good enough to join the college.
Placements: Many roles are offered, like software engineer, associate software engineer, and in specific languages like Python, Java, Dot Net, etc. So the placement side has improved in our batch. Placements are very nice, and many students got placed in good roles.
Infrastructure: The hostel facilities are good enough when compared to others. Food is also good, and some menus are very nice. A variety of food is available. The food quality is good enough to have. Snacks provided are nice. It should improve some more facilities in the hostel and also consider students' opinions, which is a mandatory thing, I think, to be implemented.
Faculty: Faculty members are good and okay to have. More practical knowledge is needed in this course to be in the updated generation. Students have to be encouraged to participate in skill and knowledge-based programs so that they will know new things. It makes students ready for the advanced industry.
