Really good, but some improvement is required in placements.
Placements: Totally, 10–20% of students are placed in IT role-based jobs. The highest salary is 8 LPA. The lowest is 3.6 LPA. The average is 4 LPA. No company recruits based on the course. They mainly recruit based on skill sets and capabilities. Around 5% of students are doing jobs, and the remaining 15% of students are waiting for call letters till now. The roles offered are Software Engineer and Programmer Analyst Trainee.
Infrastructure: Facilities are good, including labs and other facilities. Internet is also available in every lab and classroom. Actually, I am a day scholar, but my friends told me that the hostel food and facilities are 7 out of 10. I have also tasted the food, and it was very tasty. Sometimes, the taste is unstable.
Faculty: Teachers are very good in terms of knowledge. All faculty members follow the curriculum and teach the upgraded syllabus and technologies. The exam invigilation is very strict. We follow the curriculum, syllabus, and topics, so we can easily prepare for exams. Overall, it is good.
Other: I am enthusiastic about AI, and that's why I joined this course. I think the college should provide more placements to students and also recruit faculty based on more technology-related fields. These are held thoroughly and well.

The events, fests, and campus grounds were very good. Connectivity on the campus was also awesome, and the campus surroundings were nice. Scholarships were given to eligible students, and the extracurricular activities were good.
