Neutral placement and infrastructure is okay-okay.
Placements: Around 20-30% of students are placed in MCA. The highest package is 6 LPA, the lowest package is 3 LPA, and average is 3 LPA - 4 LPA. For recruiting, both technical and non-technical companies visit to hire students. Recruiting companies are TCS, Accenture, Infosys, and Capgemini. Top roles offered are software developer and technical support.
Infrastructure: College has two small campuses for computer application students, and classes are conducted in both campuses. Sometimes classes are held in one campus and sometimes in another, which became frustrating for the students. Wi-Fi, library, and classrooms are available. But there is no sitting area and lunch area for students. Computer labs are available and used for practical sessions.
Faculty: Most teachers are helpful, qualified, and also knowledgeable in their respective subjects. Teaching quality is good. The syllabus provides basic technical knowledge but some needs updating. The curriculum helps with fundamental concepts, but students need extra self-practice.
Other: There are no fun activities conducted. Rarely any fest is conducted on campus. More extracurricular activities should be conducted.

Not very satisfied with college but if we just want to come for placement opportunities than ok.
Placements: Only 20 to 30% of students are placed in our course. The lowest package is 3 LPA, and average is 3 LPA to 4 LPA. The highest package is 6 LPA. Top recruiting companies are Cloud Analogy, Accenture, Capgemini, and LTI Mindtree. Top roles offered are software developer or full-stack developer, and sales.
Infrastructure: Facilities and infrastructure of college are just average, not good. But hostels are quite good or we can say above average. Food is decent, not very good. Medical facilities are okay as we can just get ever. In hostel, they have carrom, badminton, and some other games to play.
Faculty: Some teachers are helpful but others are not. They are qualified and knowledgeable but not interested in teaching. Course curriculum is average, some other subjects need to be there, like they don't teach in depth. Just basic knowledge they provide, which we can easily get from any AI tool. Semester exams are average. We can score good marks if we are well-prepared.

Infrastructure: The quality of the hostel is good, the warden mam is a nice person and helpful. Lab facilities are present. Mess is good, and the canteen facility is also there. Infrastructure is there, and all facilities are provided, like a classroom, labs, library and auditorium.
Faculty: Teacher will be helping nature. The exam paper will be so difficult, with a maximum pass percentage of 40%. The course is industry-oriented and curriculum-relevant. It makes students industry-ready. Teaching qualification is Ph.D. and they have knowledge about their subjects.
Other: According to me, MCA will be chosen to advance form will extend.

Good College in a budget friendly area.

The exam pattern is moderate, not very difficult. If any student takes classes properly, then they can achieve a good grade, a minimum 8 CGPA.
