Good college and faculty members. I love this college.
Placements: My senior says that placements are very low compared to the previous year. The highest package is 36 LPA, and the lowest is 3 LPA. I have no information about the companies because I haven't asked my seniors. Many students get internships, and there is no problem with that. Many of the queries are related to artificial intelligence.
Infrastructure: Wi-Fi is good in the college, but there is no Wi-Fi for boys. Only girls have Wi-Fi, and in the old boys’ block, there is Wi-Fi, but it does not connect for anyone. Food is okay, and hostel facilities are excellent. The rooms are good, but the medical fee is very high with no discount for hostel students.
Faculty: Teachers are helpful, but we have to write the semester for 45 days once. It looks good, but many students are struggling with it. It is okay for me. 50 is the pass percentage for the semester. I don’t know about the arrear history, but we have to pay an amount for re-evaluation and for the re-exam.
Other: I aimed for it, but in counseling I selected this as an option, and I got it.

I am totally dissatisfied because of the hostel, my course, in my life
Placements: I have no idea about placements because many of the students have arrears in the college. No company has decided to recruit in my college yet. Students are still looking for job opportunities in various places. In this college, placements are nothing special for students, simply.
Infrastructure: The infrastructure is not good. Classrooms have a very dull atmosphere. Labs are not well-equipped. The library is very old and not comfortable for students. The hostel is very badly maintained, and sometimes monkeys even come into my hostel room. Mess food and canteen food are also of very poor quality.
Faculty: Teachers are slightly good, but they told us this college is not for placements and career growth. I am pursuing B.Tech Mechanical Engineering, and the facilities are very bad for my course. Students are really not ready for the industry. I have no idea about semester exams because I am a first-year student, but many senior students have arrears in various departments.
Other: I chose the college through TNEA counselling in the third round. There is nothing special in my course in this college. Events and extracurricular activities are not active currently or ever.
