My honest review of this college.
Placements: The placement opportunities in my college are good. Huge companies come to hire the students and they also provide a good package but the placement depends upon the course you opted for. There is a placement cell which invites a lot of companies and firms for job opportunities. Companies like Amazon, TCS, Infosys, Deloitte, Wipro, Accenture, etc., visit. The average package is 3 LPA- 6 LPA and the highest package is 25 LPA - 33 LPA, it depends upon the student's performance and their skills. Based on this, companies offer placements.
Infrastructure: As a CSE student I must recommend to join this college as this college. The hostel facility is available and was good enough. The rooms are available for sharing and separately and the charges were affordable. The mess food is hygienic and good enough. The hostel is very secure and has Wi-Fi connection. The hostel environment is good.
Faculty: The faculty is quite good. They keep the students updated all the time and are helpful by nature. They hold regular classes and can be easily reached in case of any doubt. They communicate all the assignments and marks constantly and help us clear our doubts anytime. The exam structure is semester-wise. We have mid-semester exams to mark out internal marks, followed by assignment marking. It is followed by practicals, whichever department requires that to assess. In the end, a theory exam and end-semester exam are conducted. The course structure is very good, the college syllabus is updated every year to provide the best knowledge to the students. There are different labs for different departments. Also every student has a chance to perform practicals.

Detailed review of this college.
Placements: Mostly 100-200 students are placed. The highest package is 7 LPA. Recruiting companies are ITC Infotech, Dazn, Siemens, and Lumen. Placements are low. I feel very bad about placements and these underrated jobs which they offer, and while coming to ECE and mech, they offer manufacturing jobs they are the worst jobs in the market.
Infrastructure: Poor maintenance, no signal in the college, no proper Wi-Fi in the college. Canteens are run by the college management they are very bad and no proper medicine is available at the college. Hotels are very costly please mind it. Every end you need only money.
Faculty: Exams and faculty are very strict, and passing is average. Exam fees are very high, and supply fees are also too high. They only accept cash, no PhonePe or UPI. They use BYTEXL staff to teach the technical concepts to students, so please keep it in mind before joining.
Other: I got into EAPCET at this college and joined. This college works only with money if you have more money, you can join else leave.

NEC is an autonomous college. It offers great opportunities in sports and placements.
Placements: This year, about 200 graduate students are placed in different companies. The highest package is around 13 LPA, and the lowest is 3.5 LPA. TCS and Infosys are among the companies. Mostly, in our college, no one gets an internship because of a lack of awareness. The common roles are software engineer and data analyst.
Infrastructure: The infrastructure is really nice and very student-friendly. Everything is available, like a library (very big), Wi-Fi, and labs that are always available. Now, about hostels, they are very expensive based on their service, with poor food quality and messed-up rooms. Overall, I would give the hostels 2 out of 5.
Faculty: Most of the faculty is well-knowledgeable. They take care of students like in school. They take responsibility for every student, and teachers are well qualified. Even the books we read are written by our faculty. From 2nd to 3rd year, they make a student industry-ready. The difficulty level is 3 out of 5.
Other: I chose this course because I am interested in software development. In our college, we have great fests, like Jubilation this year. Our guest is actress Sree Leela.

Good placements on this campus.
Placements: The percentage of students placed every year is 70 to 80%. Students get placed in jobs. The highest package is 15 LPA, and the average package is 4.5 LPA. Placements are good. Embedded systems jobs are prioritized in this course.
Infrastructure: The hostel facility is good and has nature observation. Power backup is also available. Hot water facility, free Wi-Fi, and LAN with 100 Mbps are provided. There is a proper study room for students, a gym, and the best hospitality service. A warden facility with 24-hour security services is also provided. The campus also has good infrastructure.
Faculty: Faculty members are helpful, and their explanations are also good. Good information is given by the faculty, and research sources are also available. Mainly, exams have strict invigilation. Teacher assessments are conducted for every unit with two attempts.

Vignan's life is unforgettable.
Placements: The placements are average because the job situation is as expected, but actually I am in an electronics-based version, so the placement training is not aligned with core subjects. My pure suggestion is to add core-related subjects for an ECE department because it might help pure electronics students.
Infrastructure: The infrastructure is nice, and it is still evolving with expansion. The interiors have changed, and every year they make new things every little thing they will improve based on students' feedback. When it comes to the hostel, I am not based in the hostel, so I can't explain what it is.
Faculty: Faculty is very encouraging, and they are strict in exams. They give marks based on performance. They give marks properly because they ask how they teach, as they ask questions as well. They give marks in order as of now the ECE faculty is genuine. As per order, they treat students as their own children.
Other: In our college, fests are more special than anything because it might be a women's college, but we enjoyed it as coed. The faculty gives that much support, and we include cultural fest as part of our traditions, as well as sports, and the college faculty gives a chance to improve skills based on scholarship represented, and they encourage in GATE IIT (M.Tech) all competitive exams.

Faculty: Faculty is very supportive, and some teachers are highly qualified and knowledgeable. The teaching quality is good. They have a friendly nature. The course is relevant to the curriculum and helps students become industry-ready. Some semester exams are difficult, but most subjects are easy, and our pass percentage is 80%.
