Everyone promised placements.

Placements: Placement-wise, it was a stronger institution. For our discipline, companies such as PlanetSpark, Educare Ventures Private Ltd., Jessi Publications, and Ambitious Global Services were among the most promising and frequently discussed recruiters. Reputed schools like Podar International School and Rainbow International School also hired graduates from our program for various job opportunities.

Infrastructure: Smart boards were fixed in all the classrooms for creating interactive learning space. There would be a collaboration space available for the students to discuss and to take a practical assessment. A thing to be worried about in college was that they were charging a higher capital fee and there were no hostel facilities provided in the institution, they suggested some PGs outside the campus.

Faculty: Professors focused on collecting the fee from the students before the due and they were improper in providing the notes. All the courses were offered in two shifts, even with the crucial and tight time period. They were not dedicated to completing their own responsibilities.
