Faculty: In our college some teachers are not very knowledgeable and their teaching quality is quite poor and average. They are also not very supportive or helpful to students. The curriculum is not very relevant and feels outdated. It does not make us industry ready there is very little practical. Semester exams feel a bit difficult because the teaching is not very good.

Satisfied with best education .
Placements: Placements in the electrical and electronics engineering branch at Andhra University College of Engineering, or mixed with some students securing roles in core companies like L&T, and others placed in IT companies through the general placement drive. In the past, companies like LNT have hired students as engineering trainees with the average package from the general placement drive ranging from 3.5 LPA to 6.3 LPA with higher packages going to those securing positions in the IT sector.
Infrastructure: The infrastructure for electrical and electronics engineering at Andhra University includes well-equipped labs for core subjects like machines for electronics and control systems, as well as general University facilities like library, Wi-Fi, and hostels.

Not satisfied, actually; I expected more from the ANITS college. Really bad infrastructure.
Placements: The placements are quite good compared with other colleges; if we study better in academics with the skills they taught us, it is easier. To get placed in some companies, the main thing is to learn some skills perfectly. Another good point in our college is that all the core students are placed easily in jobs compared to non-core branches. Different companies visit our college, like MEIL, Wipro, Tech Mahindra, Infosys, Hyundai, Tata, etc. The top roles offered by our college are workers from the core and data analysts from the non-core. The roles are very good.
Infrastructure: The infrastructure is just like apartments; it doesn't give you an engineering college feel, and I am hesitant to walk on the pathway when it is raining heavily. I don't like the maintenance of some labs. The classes are dirty sometimes, and there will be no cleaning of classes at the end of the day. The fans are not in good condition in our class, and the washrooms are really bad and stinky.
Faculty: The curriculum for the mechanical students is really good. In our curriculum, we have mid-term exams, which are conducted when half of the syllabus is completed. We have five units for each subject; after completing half of the syllabus, the college conducts the mid-term exam. They also include real-world subjects that are helpful for getting placements, like logical reasoning, communication skills, entrepreneurship, etc. They always encourage the students to get good marks with the knowledge in the subject. We have two midterms and one semester exam; the semester exams are difficult to pass.
Other: I chose this college because of my poor financial background. I am really not interested in this college, and I wish for them to improve the college infrastructure first to make more greenery and to construct more sports facilities. The management is least likely to conduct fests and events on campus; they always force us to write records, observations, and assignments. A maximum of three events happens every academic year.

Best placements in our college for core subjects (ANITS).
Placements: As the ANITS college is under the MEIL company, we, the core students, have a high chance of getting a job in the company if we study hard. We will definitely get job opportunities. Mostly, core jobs are offered compared to non-core jobs like TCS and Microsoft.
Infrastructure: The college is good in academics, but the area and perimeter are very small. Compared to other colleges, each block consists of every facility like water, washrooms, and the main problem is the lack of college Wi-Fi; it won't work well. The classrooms also lack proper ventilation, but the canteen food is good and affordable. There is a lack of sports. We don't have a cricket ground, and proper cleaning of sports grounds, like the basketball ground area. Most students feel disappointed in this area. The library is big and consists of many useful books. The library plays a major role in students' education.
Faculty: Teachers and lecturers are really awesome in our college. They are well-trained and well-experienced. They can teach anything easily to the students in different styles. The students can easily understand the subject, which was explained by our faculty. The way the teachers explain every point is well organized. I like the way the teachers take care of our academics. I like the standards of our faculty; I really feel proud about this point.
Other: Every year, nearly 130-190 members are allotted in every course from EAMCET counseling and management seats. Regarding initial classes, they are divided into 4-5 sections, each containing almost 60 members. The highest package of our college is 23 LPA, and on average, it is 7 LPA, and the lowest was 2.5 LPA. Honestly, I am lucky to get a seat in our college under a scholarship, which was a great opportunity to socialize, learn many more things in college life, make new friends, make more connections, and learn many ethics and morals.
