M.Teach Textile Technology Course information about college, placement etc.

Placements: About 70 percent of students received offers, which is a respectable placement result. The average salary remained around 5 LPA, while the top salary was close to 9–10 LPA. Textile mills, clothing exporters, and quality laboratories were among the recruiters. Although some positions lacked true technical depth, internships are available in processing and testing units.

Infrastructure: The classrooms had reliable Wi-Fi, and the textile labs had working dyeing, printing, and testing equipment. The library provided good assistance with pertinent journals. The mess menu grew boring, but the hostel rooms are cozy. There are medical and sports facilities, but they weren't very large.

Faculty: The instructors are personal and provided clear explanations of concepts using real-world examples. Although a few new industry trends could be added, the curriculum covered important textile topics like fiber science, processing, and material testing. Students who prepared consistently had no trouble passing the moderate exams.

It is the best college to study in the city.

Placements: Most students get placed in our college, especially from my department. My seniors recently got placed with good packages ranging from 8-10 LPA. The top role offered in our department is a civil engineer. Many students secure internships in their third year, especially those with a CGPA of 8 and above.

Infrastructure: The college offers many facilities. It includes Wi-Fi. Water is available on every floor of the campus. Classrooms are clean and well-maintained. The hostel is also well-maintained and cleaned daily for cleanliness. The quality of food in the hostel is good.

Faculty: Teachers who teach us are very helpful and make it easy to understand concepts clearly. Courses they teach are always related to the curriculum. It makes students ready for the industry, allowing them to gain experience.

Other: I chose the civil engineering course because I wanted to become a civil engineer. I had a good experience in this college for studies, and it is also good for placements. The college also conducts many events.

Good faculty and average placement, but the infrastructure is not good for the money and not worth.

Placements: 80 percent of students got placed. The highest package is 8 LPA, the lowest package is 3 LPA. Average placement is important, but the company visit is more in this college. The top role offering means software-related and artificial intelligence-based courses, and the internship is good, but we want an individual.

Infrastructure: Average hostel facility and good sports infrastructure. The food is average in the hostel, and the canteen is good compared to the mess. This college gives more importance to sports and extracurricular activities. There is no Wi-Fi, and the classrooms are also average not comfortable.

Faculty: A good, qualified, and well-experienced teacher. The teachers are very helpful in preparing for the semester exams, and teaching is also very good. The pass percentage in semester exams is 45 percent, but the question paper is very difficult to clear.

Other: Parents want strict colleges for their students, this college is good for that.

The platform to learn and grow.

Placements: Around 88-90% of our seniors were placed this year. The highest package is 25 LPA, and the average is 8 LPA. The top recruiting companies are Zoho, Infosys, TCS, Wipro, etc. Nearly 70% of students got internships from IT companies such as Zoho, HCL, Infosys, and TCS.

Infrastructure: Our college has spacious classrooms, well-equipped labs, and playgrounds. I am a day scholar who comes by college bus. It will pick and drop the topping on time. The quality of the food in the canteen was good. The sports activities were excellent.

Faculty: The faculty members of our college were helpful, highly qualified, and knowledgeable. They help us to understand the concept until we are clear about it and clarify the doubts several times. The course curriculum is relevant and makes the students ready through practical experience and skills.

Partially I feel good and bad in this, because of faculty and placements.

Placements: I know 40% of students were placed on the campus in the past years in companies like Wipro, TCS, HCL, etc., in various non-industries. 4 to 6 LPA is the average package. Not sure about internships right now because I am a first-year student. Seniors are working hard for placements on and off campus.

Infrastructure: Labs are good with nice infrastructure. Wi-Fi support is the worst in both college and hostel. The hostel is cleanly maintained by workers, but students clean their own rooms. Hostel students may be affected by this. Food was not good and special. Totally disappointing for me. The canteen and mess are located on the college campus, not near the hostel. Anything when it is needed, then they cannot go outside of the college.

Faculty: Teachers are better for excellence. The doubts are cleared both offline and online. The quality of teaching is good with taking notes in the classroom. The curriculum was slightly hard for me with programming courses. Exams are continuing every month. 30/50 is the pass mark in internal exams.

Other: I took the college through TNEA counseling. CSE is the standard field, so I took it. Events happen in a year mostly. Telugu people are mostly in my college, so language issues are always present.

Good campus and nice surrounding. I like it very much, and I'm peaceful to study here.

Placements: Nearly 80 percent of the students got placed in my course. The highest package is 5.5 LPA and the lowest is 2.5 LPA. Honda, Schenider are the top companies for our course, I think, because my senior said that to me. I'm new to college, so I don't know about top roles. I have not discussed it with my seniors.

Infrastructure: Labs are okay, and the problem is available in hostel, but it's not working if we connect. Canteen food is okay, but a few things need to be improved. Few times insects are also there in the food. Fee collected in hostel is too high, and there is no discount for hostel students.

Faculty: We have a very good thing that we can write every 45 days one semester. We divide and learn all the things so that it is easy to complete. EXS facilities are very strict, and my Python mam teaches Python in an understandable form so that it is very easy for me.

Other: I have got this in counselling, but my wish is to study ECE. Still, I fitted my mind to it.
