The college is filled with greenery, trees, grass, and a huge field.
Placements: From the 5th semester, students get internships and job opportunities. There are endless companies that visit the college every year. The highest package of this college is 40 LPA, and in this package, they provide transport and other facilities. Almost 80% of students get placed every year. My plan after my degree is to get placed in good company for my good future.
Faculty: The student-to-teacher ratio is 10:1 in the college. Teachers here are very kind as they clear all the doubts of academics and non-academics. Preethi mam was one of the most kindest and intelligent teachers out here. I did not like one teacher who was in the electronics department as he would not get us out of the classes, and he ran towards us to study all the time. Exams here are not difficult, and it is easy to moderate. It is good for practicing for semester exams.
Other: I also joined the red ribbon club in the college, where unity is the main motto and is represented by a red ribbon.

The course is designed for research as well as the industrial sector.
Placements: From the fifth semester, students are eligible for campus placements. Various product-based and service-based companies like Flipkart, Accenture, Scalar, Visa, etc., visit the college for placements. The college makes efforts to place every student.
Infrastructure: There is a wide range of books and journals in the library. Our classrooms are equipped with modern technological tools required for the learning and understanding of the subject. The college also provides bus facilities for students and faculty members.
Faculty: Faculty members are highly experienced and the teaching style is awesome. They conduct class tests from time to time and focus on average students. They clear all our doubts.
Other: The scholarship scheme is available in this college. The college fee structure is less as compared to other colleges. Middle-class family affords the fee and other state students also come to this college. Annual college week is held every year during February and during this week various sports and activities are organised. There are many clubs like a music club, a dance club, etc., in our college.

The environment is green and peaceful and nice to study.
Placements: Many companies are offered internships here like Infosys and Wipro, etc. They are giving stipend internships here. The college is celebrating with companies and giving a chance to get an internship here. Projects mean maximum they will provide support, but it depends on our skills.
Infrastructure: The campus life has been quite enjoyable due to the presence of friends and regularly held activities that provide me with a platform for public speaking and personality building. There exists a library full of different books available in different genres of education. Furthermore, many labs and seminar halls are present for interactive studies. My college holds various events like College Week where all major competitions like sports, dance, quizzes, debates, modeling, etc., take place extensively. There also exist many important clubs, and I’m myself enrolled as an NSS member to contribute towards the betterment of society.
Faculty: The faculty-to-student ratio is good and friendly. They are well-qualified teachers. I like every teacher because everyone is friendly with us, which helps us to learn more. I don’t dislike any teachers; everyone is good. There are 2 mid-exams and a semester exam for 6 months, but for every exam, we need to write the lab exam for every subject.

I love the behavior of the faculty members towards students.
Placements: I have completed two internship programs. In the final year of B.Tech, they will ask everyone to join at least one internship during graduation. Internships would help every individual to get corporate knowledge. I have completed my graduation and have attended off-campus interviews, where I managed to crack four jobs.
Infrastructure: Every year, the college organizes a Freshmen social for the new students who have been admitted here, and the program is very well organized. There is also a college week where all kinds of competitions like sports, dance, and singing take place. If we talk about the famous place of the college, it will be the college canteen because during off time, all the students go there and spend time. The locality is also safe at night if anyone goes for a walk. The college library timings are from 10 am. The college also has Boys' and Girls' Hostels.
Faculty: The faculty is good when it comes to syllabus completion. They will not cover the complete concepts, but the brief explanation is enough. Overall, the faculty is average, and I would suggest taking the IT department rather than non-IT. The other reason is that my college is very near to my hometown, which made me select this college.
