Overall, this college was very helpful and good.
Placements: In my passing year, 95% of students got placed. The highest average package was 10 LPA, and the lowest average package was lower. Approximately 85% of students got internships from my course in very good industry companies. The top recruiting companies were Tata, Maruti Suzuki, Hyundai, and Honda.
Infrastructure: In this college, the infrastructure facilities were very nice, and the Wi-Fi was very fast. Labs were beautiful. Classrooms were big and helpful. The hostel quality was very good. The food was tasty, and the sports and games fields were very interesting. So, I can recommend this college to you.
Faculty: Hindi school teachers were very good, well-qualified, and knowledgeable. Their teaching quality was very good. The course curriculum was relevant and made students industry-ready. The semester exams in this college were very easy.
