Students prefer to join this college.
Placements: In our college, the internship plays a vital role in every engineering student because they can learn skills through the internship. This helps to get the job which is very helpful to the students by getting new points and new techniques. All the students can participate in internships in their final year. But the students should participate well in the internship to get good score.
Infrastructure: We have a separate room for gym but there is no proper gym equipment, so I can say that there is no gym located in our college. The cafe is very pleasant to take coffee, tea, snacks, etc. The cafe, canteen, and library are closed at 5.00 PM every working day. As I am a day scholar, the timings of college are 8.40 AM to 5:00 PM. The classes are dirty sometimes. There will be no cleaning of classes at the end of the day. The fans are not in good condition in our class.
Faculty: Curriculum for the ECE 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 the real-world subjects that are helpful for getting placements like logical reasoning, communication skills, entrepreneurship, etc. They always make the students to get good marks with the knowledge in the subject. I like the college premises. I love the infrastructure of our college.
Other: Honestly saying that I am lucky to get a seat in our college under scholarship, which is a great opportunity to get a chance of getting socialised, and to learn many more things in college life, to make new friends more connections and learn many ethics and morals. The fest is conducted every year, where all the students can enjoy. There are many clubs to participate in to develop our communication skills and to develop more interactions.

Students are likely to join this college.
Placements: Every year, nearly 120-180 members are allotted in every course from EAMCET counselling and management seats. Regarding initial classes, which are divided into 2-3 sections, each containing 60 members only, the highest package of our college is on average 6 LPA, and the least was 2.5 LPA.
Infrastructure: The hostels were not bad, actually. Girls' and boys' hostels were separate. Girls' block maintains hygiene and has a separate mess, similar to a boys' hostel, which is constructed with strict rules and management. Neither boy is allowed in the girls' hostel, and vice versa. Study rooms and beds are allotted to each student, one room of the hostel is allotted to 3 members max. In the library, the internet speed is excellent, and it is used by students effectively for studies.
Faculty: The questions in mid and semester exams, 70% of the question paper is repeated questions and predicted questions. Students were habituated to these cheating trips, and did not go through different topics other than the topics taught by lectures, very few members failed in exams.
Other: Management is least likely to conduct fests and events on campus, they are always forced to write records, observations and assignments. A maximum of 3 events happen every academic year.

Good placements, helpful faculty members, modern labs, and active campus life.
Placements: At ANITS (CSE AI & ML), around 70-80% students get placed with packages ranging from 3 LPA to 9.5 LPA (avg. 4-6 LPA). Top recruiters include Amazon, Infosys, TCS, Accenture, Darwin Box, etc. Nearly 80-90% students get internships in companies like IBM, OneStopAI, Future Intern, with roles like SDE, AI/ML Engineer, Data Analyst.
Infrastructure: ANITS provides Wi-Fi-enabled classrooms, well-equipped labs, a large library, seminar halls, and good campus facilities. Hostels are decent with Wi-Fi, mess food is hygienic though average, and there are medical facilities, a hospital nearby, and sports/gym facilities for both indoor and outdoor games.
Faculty: Teachers are helpful and knowledgeable, the curriculum is industry-relevant, and exams are moderately difficult with a high pass percentage (80-90%).
Other: The CSE AI & ML course at ANITS is industry-focused with good faculty, labs, and placements, but students feel it could improve with more core AI/ML projects and internships. Campus has a friendly crowd, fests, sports, cultural events, scholarships, good connectivity, and green surroundings, making overall student life active and engaging.

Absolutely satisfied with the teaching and the college environment, but not the mess food.
Placements: Nearly 90% of the students got placed last year in our course. The highest package is 15 LPA, the average is 4.5 LPA, and the lowest is 3 LPA. Recruiting companies include Infosys, Cognizant, Accenture, etc. 95% of students got an internship from different companies, and then they turned it into an employee mode.
Infrastructure: College is good, but hostel food isn't good. Libraries and classrooms are super, and the Wi-Fi facility is not available for students to use. Mess food isn't good, and all the other facilities like medical, sports, and games are available and good. In short, I can say everything is good, but not the messy food.
Faculty: Teaching quality is good. Course curriculum is somewhat relevant and makes students industry-ready if they put effort and study on their own, too, but only with teaching, definitely it's a no. The semester exam covers all the topics, and the paper is somewhat difficult.
