I am really very satisfied.

Placements: Recent year 60-70 percent of students are placed in my college and the salary package is 3 LPA is the lowest and 9 LPA is the highest package offered during this year. Cyber security is recently added course, so no one got internship now, but the other departments are getting jobs if you are good in knowledge.

Infrastructure: For each subject, they have separate labs to study about that like Physics, Chemistry, Python, English, and other related fields. Classroom is also very good. Hostel is not maintained properly, I didn't like the hostel because it was not hygienic, but the food is in good condition and made hygienically. Only rooms are bad.

Faculty: The teachers in this college are very good and trained and well experienced. They are friendly also. Their teaching is really good for everyone. They teach how things are in real, it is a very good thing for me. The curriculum is really based on the field that you choose, but in the second year only. First year is common to all.

Other: I really want to become a cyber security expert, so I chose this course. The only one thing they need to give better is the hostel and playground. They do a festival recently like Pongal and they do many more functions twice or thrice a month.

Good infrastructures and facilities.

Placements: As B.Tech CSE (AI&ML) is a new course that has existed for 4 to 5 years, there is no placement record of our course placement and package offers. We are the first batch of our course in the college. Almost 95 percent of the students got various internship offers online as well as offline in companies like InternPE, CodeAlpha, Vinsup, etc. Machine learning engineer, data analyst are some of the course that has high value in our course.

Infrastructure: Classrooms are well-equipped, spacious, and well-ventilated. Labs are the best. If any inconveniences, there's always a lab assistant who can assist you anytime during lab hours. The library is well-maintained and properly organised. Food is good in the hostel compared to many colleges, and recently the canteen has been renovated. There is a special sick room for girls. First aid kits are also available. Both students and college administration actively focus on sport and game participation.

Faculty: Most of our faculty members are well- qualified and knowledgeable as they have experience of over 10 years. Although it is an autonomous college, the course curriculum is designed by the administration. Students can understand the outcome of the courses that they are studying. The questions asked in the exams are conceptual and understanding-based. 90 percent of the students are passing every semester.

Other: The main reason for my choosing this course is the scope of the course. It is an emerging AI course. Nothing to improve in it. Cultural events are celebrated enthusiastically. Also, associations of different departments conduct different events every Friday for skill development.
