Highly satisfied because of good teachers

Placements: Nearly 80% of students are placed in companies like TCS, Tata, Wipro, Capgemini, Reliance, etc. Nearly 40% are working in companies like TCS, NTPC, and IOCL. The Assistant Manager was the top role offered in my college. Also, companies give you priority in comparison to other colleges.

Infrastructure: It's a huge college. Here, the university provides us with many facilities like a big library where there is a huge collection of books and high-speed Wi-Fi internet. The food available here is highly nutritious, and protein-rich, and also is balanced diet is provided. You would get food routinely and from time to time. Therefore I would recommend coming here to take admission.

Faculty: Here, the teachers are really awesome as they have good knowledge about their subjects. The pass percentage is 40% and semester exams are really tough. So, group studies, teacher support, and hard work led me to score 80 percent on my M.Sc. degree and I am pretty happy about that.

Other: My batch is awesome. I chose this course because M.Sc has a good scope in career building and also science is my interesting subject. There are events like fairwell and fresher exibition conducted from time to time. Thanks to God that I am in this college.
