My thoughts on my college environment.
Placements: The placement percentage at my college is 75–85% every year. Companies like Tech Mahindra, Wipro, TCS, Infosys, and Cognizant visit our campus to hire students. They offer both core and non-core jobs to students. Students can also work with faculty. They can also do internships during their academic years.
Infrastructure: We have spacious classrooms with Wi-Fi connections and LED projectors for lectures. There is a well-stocked library, canteen, store, multiple playgrounds, labs, workshops, and digital labs. My college provides hostel services to students. The hostel maintenance is good. But the taste of the food needs improvement.
Faculty: My teachers are very knowledgeable. Their teaching style is excellent. They encourage and motivate students to achieve their goals. My course curriculum is very good. We have semester and monthly exams. The semester exams are very tough because the question papers are prepared by JNTU. The exams are conducted very strictly.
Other: My campus is very large. It is located beside the main road, so all transport facilities are available. For local students, we also have the Palli Velugu bus facilities. The fests are celebrated very well. The campus surroundings are very peaceful.

Small review of my college.
Placements: On our campus this year nearly 248 members got selected for Infosys. The recruiting companies are Infosys, TCS, Tech Mahindra, and Cognizant. Nearly 60 percent of students got placed last year. 33 LPA is the highest package till now. We have an internship for one month in the 3rd year, starting in the final year's full semester.
Infrastructure: We have labs available. We have a LAN connection in labs only. We have a vast library with a variety of books. We have projectors in our classrooms. We have the GMR Care Hospital near our college. The hostel is not worth the money. We also do various certifications, such as ServiceNow.
Faculty: Lecturers teach only the knowledge required for passing exams. Practical knowledge is provided, but up to the mark of placements. The course curriculum is not so updated to technologies. Semester exams are not so tough to attempt, but we need to study hard to get good marks. The syllabus mostly sticks to theoretical, and the faculty are not so good at conducting practical sessions.
