Not happy with the placements and faculty, otherwise, it was a beautiful stay in my college.

Placements: Out of 40 students, 24 students were placed. The companies that came are ITC, Haldia Petrochemical, Berger Paints, and Woods. The average package is 3.6 LPA. Usually, the jobs were in process engineering or as onsite engineers. Most students got internships in IOCL, IFFCO, Berger Paints, and HPCL.

Infrastructure: Wi-Fi is not available on the campus. Labs are fully equipped with equipment, and classrooms have AC and projectors. The library has every book and journal that is available. Hostels are available, and canteen food is also okay and cheap. Medical facilities are available and free of cost for students.

Faculty: Teachers are mostly overqualified and usually arrogant. The teaching quality is okay but mostly based on notes. The curriculum is a bit outdated and not on par with current industry knowledge. Semester exams are usually easy, and the pass percentage is approximately 75%. The students are usually industry-ready as they are geniuses and not due to faculty.

Other: I chose this course and college as it was near my home and also I wanted to study chemical engineering. The curriculum and placement should be better. There is no social life, and no fests or events are held currently.

Infrastructure is average, but the overall experience is great.

Placements: My batch has not yet got into the process of placements. Most of our seniors got job offers. Companies like Technip visited our campus for placements. Many of the students didn't attend the interview as they had cracked CAT and other exams. One of our well known senior got placed in Jacob Private Ltd with a salary of Rs. 24,000 per month.

Infrastructure: There is no Wi-Fi facility at our college. Classrooms are small, and air-conditioners don't work properly. However, they are equipped with projectors. The library is excellent and equipped with many books. Laboratories have old instruments, but they work fine. Games and sports are to be organised by the students and the student union. Hostel rooms are crowded, but they are located near to the college.

Faculty: Teachers in our college are helpful, but not efficient. They always a lag in completing the syllabus. Teaching methods are quite up to the mark with digital projectors and online notes sharing. The course curriculum is very vast and up to date except for the teaching of Fortran.

Other: Events like seminars, competitions, tournaments, reunion and farewells are conducted here. Fests are not usually conducted here.
