This college is well-suited for those who only do two things study and eat.
Placements: I'm currently in 3rd year of my UG in B.Tech IT, according to my department super seniors who were passed out in the year 2025. The percentage of graduates who got placed in campus selection was about 60% with an average package of 4 LPA. The highest package of the academic year 2025 is about 12 LPA and the lowest package of 3 LPA the graduates placed. The top recruiting companies are Infosys and Virtusa. The percentage of internships is about 30% provided by some new kickstart companies. Top roles offered by our course are full stack engineer, support engineer, product developer, etc.
Infrastructure: The whole infrastructure of my course and hostel is not as good compared with other colleges. The whole infrastructure of the college is about 28 years old. It gives you a feeling of amateurness. The Wi-Fi will be provided for the whole college 24/7. But in the case of power off they don't have any backup. The labs are well-maintained but you will rarely get a chance to use the labs. The infrastructure of classes is pretty average more like an old room, with a digital board. I hardly remember spending time in the library in case you need your department's permission to use the library.
Faculty: Faculty members are pretty experienced and friendly too. You can easily get along with them. 60% of the course curriculum is set by Anna University and the rest 40% is provided by respective partner companies. The exams like unit tests and internals are held very often. The more interested you are the more chance that you will get a good opportunity. The semester exams are a little difficult because the question paper is set by Anna University members. The pass percentage is about 92% of our course.
Other: I chose this course based on my own interests. The best thing about this course is that you can understand how software engineering works. This college is very bad if you are expecting for good campus life. There are no fests, no events, and nothing at all. All you need to do is study and write exams. 80% of the crowd in the college is amateurs they don't know how the outer world is. There are certain rules that must be followed by the students. Men should not talk with women. No phones are allowed inside the campus. No extracurricular activities are conducted.

Good college with supportive faculty, nice campus, and good teaching.
Placements: In our batch around 70 percent of students got placed through campus placements. The highest package is nearly 15 LPA, and the lowest is around 2.5 LPA, with an average of about 9 LPA. Companies like TCS, Infosys, Wipro, and Cognizant visited our college for recruitment. Many students also got internship opportunities in companies and startups. The common roles offered are software developer, data analyst, and system engineer.
Infrastructure: Our department has good facilities like labs, classrooms with Wi-Fi, and a library with useful books. The hostel is decent and clean. Food in the mess and canteen is okay. Medical facilities are available and there are also sports and games for students.
Faculty: Teachers are very helpful, knowledgeable, and caring like a mother. Teaching quality is good with clear explanations and practical examples. The course curriculum is relevant to current industry needs but students should learn extra skills for better job opportunities. Exams are of a moderately difficult level. The pass percentage is around 80-90 percent. The overall learning environment is supportive and faculty members encourage students to improve in academics as well as personal development. It is a good college experience with scope for improvement in skill-based training and placement opportunities.
Other: I am from the AI&this batch of 2027. I chose this course because I am interested in it and it has good job opportunities. The best thing is that we get basic knowledge and some practical exposure. I feel the course can improve with more practical training. Our college has good events and fests.
