Satisfied with the faculty and sports staff.

Placements: The average placement cell was mainly organized by the students themselves. Around 30-40% of students got placements there. The highest package was up to 14 LPA, with an average of 4 LPA. Companies like Mantra, Roadsters, Jio, and Amazon recruited from here, but no internships were provided by the college.

Infrastructure: The infrastructure was good and average for me. Many important facilities for students were available, such as Wi-Fi, labs, classrooms, a big library, a seminar hall for functions and fests, a large ground, and courts. Outside hostel facilities were also available. The canteen food was awesome and hygienic.

Faculty: My course curriculum was not very relevant because of poor management in classes. Classes mainly stuck to the textbook, which did not make students industry-ready. However, many teachers were helpful and gentle towards students, and their guidance helped students a lot.

Great infrastructure, and facilities are there.

Placements: In the last year, more than 25% of students got jobs at big companies like TATA, WIPRO, etc. The package of placements is between INR 28999 and INR 18999. I think 10–12 percent of students got internships in their reading year, with the best roles like lab technician and product tester. Overall, placement is good.

Infrastructure: The best thing about the university is that all departments have their own labs, classrooms, and libraries, and the whole university is Wi-Fi enabled. All hostels at the university are average. Food is delicious, both vegetarian and non-vegetarian. In the hostel, no medical facilities are available.

Faculty: The best thing about the teachers is that they all have Ph.D. degrees; some are research-level. They are very helpful, and their teaching quality is great. If you regularly follow the course and labs, you are ready to join the industry. It's very easy to clear all semester, and the pass percentage may be 96%.

Other: Coming from an agricultural background, it's very helpful for me. I think outdoor visits and outdoor work will be better in the future. In a year, events come one by one, and once in a while, unions organize fests. The campus is full of greenery. 2 or 3 scholarships are there, and you can apply during your time at the university. Connectivity is great.
