DTSS an unknown all rounder that matches the modern vibes.
Placements: About 20-30 percent got placed in that, but education and knowledge is absolute. The highest package is about 10-12 LPA and the lowest is 3 LPA. Some of the companies are known and collaborative with the college. I can't say much about internships and else, but the college does offer free books, scholarships, and many other options. . If a person gives a letter about a job, they will be perfectly cooperative with that too.
Infrastructure: Classroom is good. The library is big, good looking, and has air conditioning inside. You can take books from there too. Basically, it is above average on studies and quality education. As per my previous knowledge, this college has a fun college life. Even for sports people, they have every sports option. I really enjoy this college. The timing is a bit adjusting because it's from 7-11 am, so we get the whole day to do anything else.
Faculty: Teachers are really polite and respectful. They are friendly and approachable, perfectly humble as some teachers should be. They provide quality education and have knowledge beyond studies too. Semester exams are based on what they have taught. Even if struggling, they will help you pass.
Other: I took Science in 11th and 12th as I had interest in management and marketing. Listening to my heart, I took this course last. They teach quality stuff and try to get us into business by announcing stall handling and selling at least once a month. Events are almost happening the whole year. But if someone wishes to study, they teach. Everything is good here.

It offers a really good quality of education and facilities.
Placements: College provides a placement drive from some institutes that conduct courses and give placement assistance, like internships, based on technical round percentage and HR interview. Some students got internships from the clearance of the technical round, only with good marks. Some students got placed after the HR interview. Students got internships in cloud computing and cybersecurity branches. Top roles offered are data analyst, cybersecurity, etc.
Infrastructure: The quality of food in the canteen is good. There are 2 labs, 4 classrooms, and 1 library in the college. Students can take books from the library to study, and there is no need to purchase books from outside.
Faculty: Teachers are helpful, qualified, and knowledgeable. Their teaching quality is also good. The course curriculum is relevant, and it makes students industry-ready upon completion of the study. Semester exams in this college are average. The pass percentage is based on marks of exams, like the internals are of 20 marks, and to pass, we should get 7-8 marks. External exams are of 30 marks, and to pass, we should score 12 marks.
Other: I chose this course because I'm interested in tech, and it's much easier than B.Tech or engineering. In this course, by enhancing skills, we can also get into the IT sector for jobs with a good income. I think it would be better if the college does not continue NEP subjects like languages, etc. Scholarship, extracurricular activities, and events are held in college.

I say that this college is great for studies and is very easy on students.
Placements: About 80 percent of students get placed. The highest package is 4.80 LPA, and the lowest package is 1.80 LPA. Companies like Tech Mahindra, Sugar Rush, etc., recruit students. About 40 percent of students get internships. The only students who did great got internships. Roles offered are for beginners or a little above.
Infrastructure: Facilities provided include an open-to-use library, projectors in each class, and extra classrooms for group studies beside the canteen. Cold water is provided all over campus. There are 2 canteens and 1 cafe-type place called Poshan. A variety of cheap food is sold, which is filling. Medical facilities are top-notch because it is a part of a hospital, and a medical college is right beside my college. There are various courts for games like basketball, volleyball, etc. There is a large area to play cricket and football.
Faculty: Teachers are well-selected and teach very well. The course is a bit random. The core subjects are good. The non-core subjects require a lot of attention, or they are rather demanding, like for a subject called content writing, as we had to create a movie from scratch with a group of 10 people, which is very hectic. The course curriculum is relevant. Exams are quite easy, or rather well-made, i.e., if we prepare, we will pass exams.
Other: I chose this course because it is the easier version of the engineering one. It covers all topics of the engineering one, but does not go that deep into the topic. Events are all student-planned and are held with votes.

Review of KBP College from students' perspective.
Placements: Placements were provided in different ways in our college. For example, last year, there was a placement in our college through Samarathanam Trust. There were many different companies in it. Among them, there were mainly PWD and non-PWD. We get really great placements here.
Infrastructure: Our classrooms here are very nice. Now we have new benches here. Our labs are very nice as they have Wi-Fi, AC, and PCs, which work very well.
Faculty: Our college teachers are very cool. They support and help us a lot. Some teachers are very strict, and some teachers are very loving. Some teachers are very caring. In that, Dr. Pranitha Bhale madam, Nitin Game sir as well as Admit Survey sir helped us a lot. In our department, Poonam Rawale madam and Pallavi Dange madam help us a lot with our studies in the IT department.
