Annamalai University review.

Placements: The placement was good, but not with very big companies. You can't get a good job with a decent package. I'm just studying in third year, so I don't know much about placements. But our college has good placements. The faculty members provide hands-on practice instead of just theories a lot, so it helps you upgrade your skills and get placed easily.

Infrastructure: Good infrastructure in college, old but in good condition. Nice architecture and a good environment for study. Hostel quality is poor, not so hygienic and clean. If you want to join the hostel, think twice before joining. Most of the students get skin problems because of the bad water and unhygienic environment in the hostel.

Faculty: Exams will be easy, all the questions will come from what the staff teach you during class time. So don't worry about the exams; you can easily get good scores, there will be two mid exams before the semester, so it will help you get ready for the semester exams with full potential.

Other: This college is old and well-recognized. This college has a good name.

As a hostel student, I find the infrastructure and cleanliness very good. The hostel has a canteen, medical facilities, and sports and games available.

Faculty: In my college, there are many teachers, and the teachers are experienced, helpful, and knowledgeable. The teaching quality is very good for all the teachers. The course curriculum is relevant. The students are always ready, and the semester exams were medium. We understand the concepts easily, which makes the semester easier. The pass percentage is 45%.

Other: I chose this course because, in the future, AI is essential, my parents' opinion also influenced my choice. I want to learn many things from this course, which has already improved and is good. This course is very easy for me. In college events and fests, the campus crowd is very small, but the campus surroundings are neat and clean, with many trees.
