My honest review about my college.
Placements: From the 3rd semester, students are eligible to attend the interview. IBM and Hi-tech information teams visited the college and offered a salary of 10,000 per month. IBM gave a package of 15,000, which is the highest salary. 25% got placed. The education provided to us helped to get job opportunities in leading government organizations like the Telephones and Civil Aviation Department.
Infrastructure: The curriculum is well-structured and comprehensive, covering both theoretical and practical aspects of subjects, so the cost layout is logical and the syllabus is regularly updated. The curriculum is relevant to the industry, and the faculty is innovative, engaging the mix of lectures, discussions, case studies, and hands-on projects. The faculty also encourages active participation and critical thinking. As I was a day scholar, I could not provide more details on the hostel, but I was told that the hostel facilities are comfortable and not so expensive like today's fee structure, which could be managed by all.
Faculty: Faculty members are highly qualified and passionate about teaching. They are always friendly towards students and help to make complex concepts easy to understand. I am from the English department, and all the staff members in our department are very friendly. They are all the best faculty members. I really love them. Exams are always a little bit difficult in some subjects and easier in others. We are 8 students in our class, and all cleared the exams; the cases are also very interesting for learning. The faculty was good, and the teaching methods were great and easily understood.
