This college is very good, and many opportunities are waiting for students.

Placements: Placements were good in our college, and professors were also helpful. The highest salary package offered was 30 LPA, and the average salary package offered ranges from 22 LPA to 27 LPA. It depends on students and they will get easily internships anywhere in the world.

Infrastructure: In this college, Wi-Fi was average. The speed was fine because most student use college Wi-Fi at the same time but laboratories, classroom, and library were very good. The facilities were good but students can get problem with food as some time there were many high spices in the food and oily also. The medical was very good, and my friends were in sports and they were on a national level but I was not interested in sports.

Faculty: Professors were very knowledgeable but they will not understand the pain of students. They make the paper very hard. The course was related to the industry but if students applied for internships it will be more beneficial for students.

Other: In this college, events were not held.
