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.

Decent academy support with a good campus, but needs more practical exposure.
Placements: Around 60%-70% of students from the B.E. Civil course got placed. The highest package offered is around 6 LPA, the lowest is around 2 LPA, and the average is about 3.5 LPA. Top recruiters include NGOs, media houses, and educational firms. Around 50% of students got internships in companies like Tech for India, Times Group, and local startups. Common roles include content writers, research assistants, and HR trainees.
Infrastructure: The college provides good facilities for our department, including smart classrooms, fast Wi-Fi, and well-equipped computer labs. The library is quiet and stocked with useful study material. Hostels are clean and have basic amenities. The food in the mess is average, while the canteen offers a better variety. Medical help is available on campus with a health center. Sports facilities, such as a playground and indoor games, are provided to encourage student recreation. Overall, the infrastructure is decent and supports both academics and student life well.
Faculty: The teachers are well-qualified, supportive, and knowledgeable in their subjects. The teaching quality is good, with practical examples and regular doubt-solving sessions. The course curriculum is up-to-date and industry-relevant, which helps in preparing students for real-world challenges. Semester exams are moderately difficult but manageable with regular study. The pass percentage is decent, with most students clearing their exams on time.
Other: I chose the B.E. Civil Engineering course for its broad subject options and scope for learning. The best part is the supportive faculty and flexible curriculum. I wish there were more practical activities. The campus crowd is friendly, events are lively, and the college is well-connected. Scholarships are also available.

Good placements, and we have another branch in Coimbatore. The hostel facilities are good.
Placements: Highest package offered so far is between 9 to 12 LPA, especially for CSE and IT students. That is one of the biggest achievements of the year! Students felt more confident this year due to regular aptitude training sessions. Departments like ECE and EEE also saw good placements, especially in core companies. The top roles offered are HR roles and software analyst positions. I have an ECE background and core-related companies are offering more jobs.
Infrastructure: Hostel facilities are neat and comfortable. Food is average, but we manage well with canteens inside the campus. The dental block inside the college helps students access basic medical facilities when needed. Overall, the infrastructure is good. The classrooms are clean and well-maintained. Labs are well-equipped with proper electrical instruments. The library has plenty of useful books, and students can access it anytime.
Faculty: Faculty had a good educational background. They are helpful when it comes to projects and presentations, even with their help, I got first prize in a paper presentation. They teach us practically and theoretically, so it is very helpful to apply engineering principles in real life. Exams are sometimes tough, especially when handling department-related papers; sometimes, they are even tough to clear.
Other: Big events happen only once a year, and that was grand too. Random events occur twice a month. But academically and placement-wise, it was okay.
