Good college that you can join but it is far from the city.
Placements: In my college, at my placements, so many are placed in different big companies. 90% are all placed, but in 90%, 40% of people are placed in non-IT, and it is the worst company. After joining that company, no one is there for one month. Also, in my college, the highest package is 44.5 LPA, and the lowest is 2 LPA, and it is not a good job.
Infrastructure: My college is a very small college, and it is around 2 acres, maybe. In my college there is no Wi-Fi for students, and Wi-Fi is there only for staff, and in college a small canteen is there, and food quality is also not good.
Faculty: In my college, faculty are good and friendly, and they will help students, and they are good, knowledgeable people, but they didn't teach properly, and for the branch there will be a lot of study; the study that is provided by this college is not usable here; they mainly focus on placements, making it easy to pass in the semester.
