Overall best College for M.E. In the embedded and real time systems course.
Placements: Almost all students were placed in our courses. The highest salary is 12 LPA to 15 LPA, which was the minimum. 90% of students received their internships. The top recruiters were Intel, Qualcomm, Robert Bosch, Texas Instruments, etc. The top roles offered were Embedded Software Engineer, Firmware Engineer, and more.
Infrastructure: The Wi-Fi system was awesome. Classrooms were good. The campus was awesome and clean. The campus had specially designed sports courts for basketball, volleyball, etc. The college system here was amazing, as here things are amazing, which helps us a lot. The college ensures cleanliness, and students also ensure that they do not have any problems inside the college.

It's a good college, but it can be better.
Placements: When I joined the college, according to our senior batch, the placement percentage was around 50%. However, in my current situation, I believe it is about 40%-60%. The highest salary package offered is 7 LPA, and some even mentioned 12 LPA. The top recruiting companies are TCS and BOSH. Internships are entirely based on their efforts, as students have to search for themselves. Manager is the top role offered.
Infrastructure: College infrastructure is average. Classrooms are cleaned once a week. However, the bathrooms are mostly not usable. Wi-Fi is available but inaccessible to students, as it is only for staff. There is a library, but no specific time is allocated for it. Canteen food is average, but eating here continuously may cause stomach pain. Sports and games are not a part of this college, so if we join, it's like losing hope for sports activities. Medical facilities are good. Hostels are also of mid-range quality.
Faculty: Some teachers are helpful, but some are not interested in teaching. Some come just for the sake of teaching, while others chat with girls or sit and tell to do their work. Courses are relevant to the college requirements. Semester exams are difficult if we only listen to the classes, but if we study at home on our own by watching YouTube, it's easier to pass. The pass percentage is around 75%-80%.
Other: I am brainwash to choose this course. I aimed for robotics, but instead, my parents are convinced that this course is better than robotics. As a result, I had to join it. I wish there were more practical classes, more interaction with students, and more symposiums and events to create a better atmosphere for college students.

Placements: In my batch, till now, only a few members have been placed. Most of the students get placed in Capgemini and TCS. Our seniors are regularly pursuing their internships. Hope they will also get placed, who have the motivation to approach further internship opportunities.
Infrastructure: In our college, the Wi-Fi facility is not available properly, and the class facilities are also not maintained, but the hostel facilities are good, and the hostel contains a good Wi-Fi facility, and the lab facilities are good. The faculty members are well knowledge.
Faculty: The faculty members are very kind, we have 2IAT exams in a semester, and the marks are awarded based on the marks secured in the IAT for internal marks, Due to the less classroom availability the facilities cannot teach well, But the overall college experience is good.
Other: In my college, there will be no concentration on events or fest. An annual day and hostel day will be conducted once.
