After joining this course I have seen a tremendous improvement in my own capabilities.

Faculty: Especially for my course there are many curriculum activities. During my college days we really had good time because of a supportive environment (teachers). Teachers are very friendly, knowledgeable, and helpful with any useful suggestions for the career.

A very good college in Vishakapatnam, Andhra Pradesh. The faculty is quite good.

Faculty: Teachers are very helpful and have very good knowledge. Curriculum, I think it's not good because I think they need many changes in subjects, class timing, performance, etc. Semester examinations are not that difficult, but they are quite good at testing the knowledge. Pass percentage would be arround 80%, I think.

College provides good information, and everything is fine.

Faculty: Teachers are good. There are teachers with qualified knowledge, some are not, and not all are knowledgeable. The curriculum is also not good, a little battery in semester exams also gives a good percentage. Everything else is fine, college is going to be great. The faculty is also good. It offers a lot of courses. Artefact Science and two other courses are also good.

Best for studies and to get jobs.

Faculty: In our department, teachers are experienced candidates and qualified scholars. In the lab and class, they explain very well, it’s easy to understand for everyone. Those semesters are somewhat difficult, but if we study carefully and with interest, it’s not a big matter.

Compared to other degree colleges and our college is the best.

Faculty: Teachers are well-qualified and knowledgeable. Teaching quality is superb. We are having debates and group discussions every week about the current situations. For the semester exams we were prepared beforehand by conducting weekly exams, so that we perform well in the semester exams. Faculty are very friendly with every student at the same time very conscious about the completion of the syllabus and making us skilled in every subject. These 3 years we have become very close with the teachers.

Good option in Visakhapatnam, but not really great in terms of social life.

Faculty: All the assistant professors have completed their post-graduation, and associate professors have finished their PhDs. The teaching is good, but it's mostly self-taught. Most of the faculty try to teach using examples and real-world problems. But some just read the PPT and go. The course curriculum is actually relevant and gives a strong foundation. It would be better if it were updated every 2-3 years. Semester exams are quite well balanced, which means there are both easy and confusing question...

I’m absolutely dissatisfied because of the tough semester exams.

Faculty: Teachers are highly qualified, but some guest lecturers don't even know what they're teaching about. Sometimes the semester exams are too tough. The course curriculum is very relevant, and it does its best to make the students industry-ready. Technical subjects are made too tough and even ask out of syllabus sometimes, making it difficult to pass the exams.
