Review of Syed Ammal Engineering College.
Placements: The department of MBA had the least records for placements in the history of Syed Ammal Engineering College. For our batches from the overall 78, only 20 got hired in various companies through on-campus recruitment. The companies that participated in the on-campus drive were 23 for all the departments.
Infrastructure: College was so poor at coordinating with the students. There would be no external nuisances and disturbances created external. To fix such nuisances, the management won't show their involvement in taking immediate action to sort it out. Students with an interest in sports were also not permitted to play sports.
Faculty: The only work of the lecturers was to take the classes in an efficient way, mark the regular attendance records, assign assignments, and validate papers. All other tasks like punishing students and making important decisions about our improvements, were strictly done by the head of the departments.
