It's a private university, but we should aim for a government college.

The average package offered is around 6 LPA, and the highest package offered is 10 LPA. Companies that visit the college for placements are Cipla, Microsoft, Unacademy, etc.

Infrastructure: My overall campus experience was good. I met a lot of people, and they are kind to me. There is no ragging at all. There is a library in each block across campus, and we can go anywhere we want. There is a good range of books, from journals to academic to fiction. There are sports events going on every semester, from department level to university level. There are many clubs and societies, which are led by students. There is a Wi-Fi facility in each block. There is a huge number of labs and a library.

Faculty: Faculty members are brilliant and are experts in their field. They make it easy to understand concepts. They are always there to help students in any possible way. In each semester, for theory subjects, there are 60 marks external (end-semester exams) and 40 marks internals. Internals consist of mid-semester tests (held twice every semester), assignments/term papers, presentations, surprise tests, quizzes, and 2 marks for attendance above 90%. For practicals, there are 60 marks of internals, which consist of 9 practicals and 1 project, along with a mid-semester practical conducted once every semester.
