    5Placements4Infrastructure4Faculty4Crowd & Campus Life5Value for Money
    Our college gives good value for money with great placements.
    Placements: A good percentage of students get placed in our college and few go for Ph.D. Around 40% of students got placed in 2018 and about 60% of students went for higher studies. Every student gets an internship at the same place during this course.
    Infrastructure: Many facilities are available in our college like projectors in classrooms, very good labs, and satisfying Wi-Fi in the department. Hostels are good and serve good food. It provides facilities like a washing machine and indoor and outdoor sports. Wi-Fi provided in the hostel is not good. Labs are good. The library consists of a lot of reference books and is a very good place to study.
    Faculty: All the teachers in our college are well qualified with Ph.D. abroad. The course curriculum is vast and relevant. It makes students industry-ready. Exams are moderate. Every student passes semester exams.
    Other: I chose this course because photonics is an emerging subject with a lot of potentials. The best thing about our course is that it is a very demanding course. Wi-Fi facilities should be improved on campus.
