It is pretty good and excellent.

Faculty: Teachers are very helpful regarding the course. The course is relevant when you are going into research. But if you want to go into software and consulting fields, you need to prepare yourself. Teachers do provide some real implementation and assignments for practical learning.

Not worth it, choose IIT Kanpur or Madras over it obviously.

Faculty: The assignments of our courses were one of the toughest things you will expect in your life, they were themselves projects in their own league. Semester Exams were too difficult as well, along with the marking, and believe me, among all the IITs, we had the toughest grading system.

The college doesn't need an introduction because it introduces itself.

Faculty: Professors are very friendly and always available for doubts. This course is very interesting and interactive. Passing the semesters and getting good grades is quite easy if classes are attended regularly. The pass percentage is quite low, but if you are just passing, you won't be able to sit for placements.

One of the best colleges in India to study at, with the best crowd.

Faculty: Professors are specialized in their own research fields and have many publications. Hence, their knowledge is not in question. The curriculum is designed to enhance hands-on learning and make students industry-ready. Semester exams are a bit hard because when relative grading is applied, there is cut-throat competition for an A grade.

College is great but the branch can be improved.

Faculty: The teachers were well qualified and highly knowledgeable but some were not good teachers. The course curriculum was mostly relevant but did not have a defined major, as we studied some components of mechanical engineering and some components of supply chain. Exams were tough and grading was very strict.

Decent placements, teaching assistants, and well-designed curriculum, all facilities are available.

Faculty: Teachers are helpful, but some professors are way too strict, like low attendance grade down and all that, besides the curriculum is good, i.e., if you study at least 1-2 hours daily, then the semester exams would be a piece of cake. The pass percentage is like 5 grade in each course.

Amazing sports and cultural facilities, good placement, and the best place to do startups.

Faculty: Depends on the professor and course. Grading and exams depend on professors decision. Exams surprise the students, we have open-book exams too. Some courses are crazy difficult, hence their exam also difficult. Professors are amazing, some are rude, but most of them are ready for collaboration and helping students.
