    Enjoying the college days with both learning and a set of great friends and faculty members.
    Placements: Placements in my college are very structured. They maintain a placement cell that is very active, with daily updates of companies that are hiring shared via a WhatsApp group. They also conduct job fairs where students can attend interviews with various companies on campus.
    Infrastructure: The infrastructure of the college is good. The lab has enough systems with the required configuration and Ethernet connected for each system. Students can access the Wi-Fi if required, but speed can be a little issue as many students connect at the same time. Classrooms and the library are clean and good. As for the hostel, I can't speak because I’m a day scholar.
    Faculty: The course is good overall and has 2–3 days of practical sessions in the lab. The faculty members are very good at teaching and helpful in explaining the topics and clearing doubts with interesting real-time examples. Exams are conducted on time, and the exams won’t be too tough. If you write what you listened to in class, you can clear the papers.
    Other: The college is good so far, with events like Onam, Diwali, Pongal, and 2Culture. There is a scholarship for the alumni students of this college.

    Neutralists are satisfied with the specific faculty members and friends.
    Placements: Placement is good. WhatsApp group will be created by the placement cell of the department. Students are asked to join this group, and they update details of the companys vacancy, and also provide the campus drive, free placement, and training opportunity will be provided in the name of placement.
    Infrastructure: Infrastructure is good, two laboratories with 70+ systems with the internet connection and 5 ton centralized air conditioning. I am a day scholar. I do not know much about the hostel, but the college canteen food is good, and the prices are slightly high.
    Faculty: Semester exams are conducted strictly with the flying squad. Three examinations are conducted for a semester, the CAT Pre University examination, final semester examinations, and the practical examination. The faculty will guide us for the examinations and will have three laboratory sessions for a week.
    Other: I chose this course to gain more proficiency in IT field, and they provided a 15% scholarship for alumni students.

    Dr. M.G.R. Educational and Research Institute.
    Placements: In my course, MCA, around 75-80% of students were placed through campus recruitment. The highest package offered was around 8-10 LPA, the lowest around 3 LPA, and the average around 4.5-5 LPA. Top recruiting companies included TCS, Wipro, Infosys, Cognizant, HCL, and Accenture, along with a few product-based startups. Around 60-65% of students received internships, mainly in companies like Zoho, Virtusa, CTS, and Capgemini, where they worked on real-time projects. The top roles offered were Software Developer, Full Stack Developer, Data Analyst, System Engineer, and Associate Consultant. Overall, the course provided good placement opportunities and strong industry exposure.
    Infrastructure: Our department has good infrastructure facilities such as spacious classrooms, projectors, well-equipped computer labs with high-speed Wi-Fi, and a central library with a wide collection of books and e-resources. The hostel facilities are decent, with proper rooms, 24/7 water and electricity, and security. Mess food is satisfactory with both vegetarian and non-vegetarian options, while the canteen offers snacks and beverages. The campus also provides medical facilities, a health center, and ambulance support. For recreation, there are facilities for sports and games such as cricket, football, volleyball, badminton, and indoor games, ensuring a balanced campus life.
    Faculty: Faculty members in our course are highly qualified, knowledgeable, and supportive. Most of them explain concepts clearly and are approachable for doubts beyond class hours. The curriculum is regularly updated and covers important subjects in programming, databases, networking, and emerging technologies, which helps students become industry-ready. The teaching quality is good, with practical sessions, projects, and seminars adding more value. The semester exams are of moderate difficulty, focusing more on understanding concepts rather than written learning.
    Other: I chose the MCA course because of my interest in programming, software development, and the opportunities it provides in the IT industry. Best things about this course are the practical exposure, supportive faculty, and good placement opportunities with reputed companies. Our campus also conducts technical events, cultural fests, and workshops that give us a chance to learn and showcase our skills.

    Great campus life with strong placements and facilities.
    Placements: Around 90-95% of students from our course were successfully placed through campus recruitment. The average package is 6.5 LPA - 7 LPA. The lowest package is 3.5 LPA. About 85-90% of students secured internships through the college.
    Infrastructure: Department and course facilities: The infrastructure for our course/department is excellent. Classrooms are spacious, well-ventilated, and equipped with projectors and smart boards. The campus is fully Wi-Fi enabled, providing seamless internet access across departments.
    Faculty: The teaching methodology is a good blend of theory and practical exposure, with the use of presentations, real-world case studies, and lab sessions. Some professors even include industry trends and tools in their lectures to enhance learning.
    Other: I chose this course because of my passion for the subject and the wide range of career opportunities it offers. The best part of the course is its industry-aligned curriculum, experienced faculty, and hands-on learning through projects, internships, and labs. Regular workshops, guest lectures, and seminars by industry experts help us stay updated with the latest trends and technologies.

    I'm dissatisfied because of the good placement in 2025.
    Placements: Students score above 75%, getting the best and super job opportunities. Students who study in our college are placed in high positions, and many are placed abroad. Some students get a package of 6 LPA while pursuing.
    Infrastructure: Infrastructure is good and a good water supply and it has a good vibe in the college and people who work in the college have good contact and are friendly. Hostel has good food. Sports will be conducted and many functions based on the event.
    Faculty: Faculty members explain very clearly and teachers are friendly and are knowledgeable. Semester exams are difficult. Pass percentage is more than 75% and especially the head of the department faculty is friendly.
    Other: The batch will be very friendly and very knowledgeable person and the people will be explained about the course the event will be very happy to SEE and enjoy the event .

    Very bad infrastructure.
    Placements: The worst placement cell and department for placements. This is only good for entertainment and joy of college life, and no one cares about internships and interviews with personal information, and it's not good for developing student life skills, good manners, and a high profile.
    Infrastructure: High-class infrastructure, high-class system lab facility, good green environment, good conversation hall, a huge auditorium, and air-conditioned system lab facilities are available. The efficiency of the system, high configuration, updated system, and good infrastructure.
    Faculty: Faculty is okay, but it is not good. The curriculum and instruction for your face is not good, and the teachers do not give any helpful information. There is good knowledge, they are okay with that knowledge, but there is no updated version. The way of teaching is very slow and the semester exams are without covering the syllabus, the content we didn't get from the teachers.
