You can join, but think once when you join.

Placements: Placements are very low compared to other colleges because of the government University. My batch is the 2023 batch, and my course is cybersecurity. According to the placements, there are no placements at all covered in cybersecurity. There are minimal placements, which are regular CSE software roles, not in cybersecurity.

Infrastructure: The hostel situation is very bad, the food is okay, not that good, and the classrooms are average, but the labs are very good. The canteen is very much better. There are a few canteens in the university, and the medical facilities are not that good, but it's fine to have them. The main central library.

Faculty: The exam pattern is very simple, but the questions are somewhat tough, and coming to the faculty, there are very few faculty members, so the curriculum may vary. There is no wrong in the faculty. The government is not funding the faculty, so that's why there are fewer faculty.

Absolutely dissatisfied with campus life. There is not much to explore at the college.

Placements: More than 50 percent of students were placed in my course. In recent times, due to layoffs, there are not many job offerings, which is why the placement rate has been lower in the past 2-3 years. 2.7 LPA is the lowest, 24 LPA is the highest, and 5 LPA is the average package. The highest package of the entire college is 62 LPA.

Infrastructure: Wi-Fi, labs, classrooms, library, everything is average, not that good compared to universities. The quality of the facilities in the hostel is good. The quality of food available in the mess is very good at this price point. Canteen, medical facilities, sports, and games are all available.

Faculty: Teachers are helpful, qualified, and knowledgeable. The teaching quality is also good. The course curriculum is not relevant. It doesn't make the students industry-ready. Other colleges also accept IIT/NIT's semester exams; in this college, which are easy to pass. The pass percentage is 80.

Other: I chose this course due to the allotment by the EAPCET board. The course curriculum can be improved. Events: nearly 1 freshers party and 1 annual day will be conducted. The remaining events are not that great.

The best college for an engineering student.

Placements: In our college, the pass percentage is good, and the placements are quite good compared to other colleges around. Different types of companies are coming to recruit the students, and several roles are being offered by the companies, such as data analyst, etc.

Infrastructure: Quality is so good and well caring, and the labs are very good looking, and the computers are often of the best quality. The Wi-Fi of the college is also so fast that no lagging issues are present, and the sports are also good. We have a cricket ground and volleyball grounds, etc.

Faculty: The pass percentage is good, the examinations are easy, and the courses that are present in our branch are also good and relevant to our branch. The qualified students are also in good numbers, and the courses are well taught by the teachers and are overall good.

Other: Our college is full of trees, fresh air, and a healthy atmosphere, and events and fests are excellent.

The student will definitely be satisfied with his/her money that he/she will pay.

Placements: The present outgoing batch of 2026 is better placed compared to the batch of 2025. The placements are increasing year to year, which will help us when we attend the placements. The highest package offered last year was around 12 LPA, and the average is around 3-4 LPA. Top recruiting companies are Wipro, TCL, etc. The roles offered are data analyst and software engineer.

Infrastructure: Our infrastructure is far better and very good because I have been pursuing my 3rd year since I joined the college. Maintenance is too good. They always maintain hygiene. Hostel facilities are also available. The cost is around 50 thousand, and it is worth it. The hostel fee is inclusive of staying.

Faculty: The faculty is a mix of experienced and less experienced ones. Some faculty members teach very well, while others are not effective, and students suffer only in those subjects. However, doubts are clarified by all teachers, and the course is relevant. Semester exams are not too difficult and not too easy. They are of average difficulty.

Placements: There are companies with 5 to 10 jobs. 200 to 300 members are there for the jobs, even in the last round, they are having a 3-hour final round, it's hard to get a job. Roles are mostly related to our study only, but in a tough competition, it's hard to get a job. Whereas the cutoff marks are increasing for each round.

Infrastructure: We can get free Wi-Fi, and the labs are good. When it comes to classes, you can study with monkeys and dogs because sometimes they come in and they don't disturb anybody, they go to the last bench and sleep. It's a daily routine, but sometimes only. The library is eco-friendly, and we have tables and chairs to read.

Faculty: Teachers have good knowledge, but most of the lectures are not. Every course is useful and good for learning new, futuristic things. Exams are conducted strictly, and the pass percentage for internals is 15, then end-semester examinations is 25, and at least 40.

Other: There are only 2 fests, like Freshers' Day and the fest.
