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.

Placements: I am studying in the Computer Science domain. Here, most of the students are getting placed. The minimum package is 6–8 LPA and the maximum package is 40 LPA. PayPal and ServiceNow are top companies offering placement opportunities to our college.

Faculty: The faculty is excellent, and the coaching given by our college is very good. As a student, I can understand well from our mentors’ teaching, and the exams are quite helpful in understanding our own skills. The semester exams give a great understanding of skills and help me improve the skills that I don’t have.
Other: Nowadays, everyone is moving forward in their career towards IT. So, from the course that I joined, we can achieve this. In our college, they are providing good education.

The Hostel rooms and bathroom were maintained neatly and clean by the institution and the mess food is good and sometimes it is worse, The medical facilities are not available in our college. Our institution places more importance on sports and games in our college.
Faculty: Most of the teachers are really knowledgeable, but some of the faculty members are slightly bad at teaching, the teaching can be made slightly better. It is relevant to the course curriculum. It makes the students industry to develop themselves to place in high salary packages. The semester exams are average it is neither tough nor easy. The pass percentage also depends on internal, practical and assignment marks. So it is slightly easier to pass the exams.
Other: I have chosen this course so that I can be placed in both software and hardware jobs. The best thing is it is slightly tough. The teaching and the syllabus of the course could be made slightly easier. The events and fest in our college are always good. The campus surrounding is also better. The connectivity with students in my class is bad. The scholarships are given to many students in our college by our institution. The extracurricular activities are better in our institution.
