Other: It’s an average college with a decent infrastructure and no industry experience at all. Some of the faculty is great at their jobs. The quality of students in the college is not appropriate. Most of them just want to show off their father's money and their luxurious cars. Almost no one of them are there to study. So for people who do not seek high notch placements can join the college otherwise go for some other college.
