MACE is the best decision of my life.
Placements: In 2026, around 194 offers come, and 126 students get placed in top companies like IBM, Cognizant, TCS, Federal Bank, etc. The highest package is 33.24 LPA by Virtusa. Graduates are enrolled in the IT sector as data analysts, data scientists, etc. Around 55–60% of students got placed in the last year.
Infrastructure: The college campus is top-notch, with greenery and cleanliness you cannot imagine. There is a central library with around 80,000+ books and journals. The classrooms are well-equipped. There is also a basketball court, badminton court, gym, swimming pool, and ground for leisure. The mess food is also top quality.
Faculty: Teachers are very helpful and knowledgeable, although there are some drawbacks. As our college is autonomous, the academic team updates the syllabus according to industry demands. The semester exams are above average and hard to pass. The pass percentage is around 87%.
Other: The clubs of MACE are very active. IEEE and SAE of MACE are national-level competition winners.
