I am satisfied with this infrastructure, but dissatisfied with the placement.

Placements: 100% of students were placed in your course. The highest value is morning shift, its fee structure is 1st sem 75k, and up to 4th sem it will be 40k per sem. For the evening shift, it will be 40k for every sem. Every IT sector like Accenture, TCS, Infosys, HCL Technologies, etc. A minimum number of students got their internship and job placements in Sutherland companies. Top roles offered are Java developed, C# developed, and NET developed.

Infrastructure: The facilities and infrastructure available in our department are good. It has 2 labs, one library, and classrooms up to F section. Outside the department, we have a food court available. They need to watch the students' dress code properly. They need to reduce the food prices in the canteen. The price of each and every food item is quite expensive, but the quality of the food is excellent.

Faculty: The teachers are not quite helpful, but their knowledge is outstanding. Not only this course is helpful for students to get placed, we have to learn an extra course for getting placed. It was easy to pass here. They have to give placements for free, but they are charging 1,200 for placement.

Other: This course has many programming languages to learn. They have to improve their teaching techniques. Every activity is good.

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.

Infrastructure: 24/7 Wi-Fi for all hostellers and food for vegetarians and non-vegetarians are both available. There are separate hostels for girls and boys for their privacy. The canteen food is really good, they prefer sports and games, and they have neat classrooms, libraries, etc.

Faculty: In Dr. MGR University, the teachers are generally helpful, qualified, and knowledgeable as they clear doubts, are patient, and friendly. They teach well, etc. The semester exams are difficult, as we want to achieve more than you think it's worth it. The pass percentage is 50 percent.

Other: Many students chose this course to learn about AI and the role of machine learning, coding, data analysis, Python, and more. The events, fest, campus crowd, campus surroundings, and scholarship are very good, and they prefer more for the athlete.
