Really good campus and excellent teachers.
Placements: The college does offer good placement. The top companies are the usual: IBM, Infosys, Cognizant, etc. In the past two years, placements have been a bit bad compared to previous years, with more students getting placed towards the end of their studies.
Infrastructure: The infrastructure is very good. There is full Wi-Fi support across the entire campus, LAN connection in the labs, the systems are also good, all classes have projectors. However, some of the classes do feel a bit old, with the old tables and chairs. Hostel is decent but the food is good.
Faculty: Seriously good teachers. They really do want to teach you and will help you out wherever needed. All the topics are completed before the exams, with sufficient explanation for each topic. The teachers definitely know what they are doing and are not like the teachers who don't care about whatever you do in class. They make sure you study.

I am absolutely happy here.
Placements: Our college does have a good placement cell but there are students getting placed based on pure skills. These are the companies that came to our college in 2024 Infosys, Vanenburg, TCS, CTS, HCL, UST, Mitsogo, Algomox, Electrifex 6D Technologies, Talrop Techmaghi, TVS, Larsen & Toubro, Visteon Enfost, MRF, Walkaroo Enhanz, OPmobility Armia. A Total of 41 students are placed, and 7 are from the IT department.
Infrastructure: We have a really nice college with a calm and quiet atmosphere, perfect for studying. A really good hostel provided by the college, but we have a small issue about rates, they are everywhere. Other things 10/10. Good mess, staff, seniors anti ragging. We have a good library with a lot of space to work and study, and many valuable books.
Faculty: We got some really good staff, professional yet friendly, and they teach really well. It is a good option while looking at engineering, it is the same as CS, we all learn the same things. We also have a good demand in the job market if you have great skills. The semester exams are not that tough. I have an 8.7 CGPA. I can say that I can simply reach 9, its just that I am not studying.

Good placement happened last year.
Placements: A high quality placement cell is available in the college for placement, and also a large number of students are placed in the last academic year in Wipro, Sobha Construction, and many other placements. Packages offered are around 15k to 30k per month.
Infrastructure: Good infrastructure and classrooms are available. Wi-Fi connected campus and labs are available, and technical staff assist us with laboratory work. A canteen is also available inside the campus with affordable prices and quality food. Sports camps are available.
Faculty: Teachers are qualified enough for teaching students and supportive of exam stress, and well defined study material and revision classes are provided. Course curriculum does not completely make a student industry ready, students must develop other skills.
Other: I chose civil engineering because it has great opportunities in both the public and private sectors. Workshops and fests are conducted, and extracurricular activities are also happening in college.

Not great, but still not bad.
Placements: Placement is comparatively low with other colleges but still its a decent one. Around half of the students will get placement. An average of moderate salary packages is available. Overall its okay but still a good one. You will have to look for more opportunities.
Infrastructure: Good facilities and infrastructure are available. Wi-Fi is available, but the network is too slow and labs are just okay, but classrooms are great, no doubt, and library is also good. Canteen is there, but its an average or below average one. Overall, an above average one.
Faculty: Teachers are good but exams are tough. They teach well, but we need to study harder to pass exams. Some events will occur, and its good. Semester exams will be very tough if you are not prepared well, but if you focus on the classes and study well, then you can pass.

Good campus with decent placements and a peaceful environment with good facilities.
Placements: In my seniors’ batch, around 40–50% of students get placed. The highest package is around 8–10 LPA, and the average is near 3–4 LPA. Companies like TCS, Infosys, Wipro, IBS, and a few startups come for recruitment. Around 30–40% of students get internships through the campus. Mostly in IT support, testing, and basic development roles. Placements are decent if you prepare well.
Infrastructure: The college has good labs, working computers, Wi‑Fi, classrooms, and a nice library. The campus is calm and spacious. Hostel rooms are simple but clean. Mess food is average but okay for daily use. There are medical facilities on campus. Basic sports options include a football ground, a basketball court, and indoor games. Overall, the infrastructure is good for a government college.
Faculty: Teachers are qualified. Most of them are helpful. Classes are taught in a simple way, and doubts are cleared if asked. The curriculum follows KTU and is mostly relevant. Exams are moderately difficult. Students can pass if they study properly. The pass percentage in most subjects remains high.
Other: I chose this course because I did not have a clear idea, but I liked engineering and wanted good job options. The best thing about the course is the calm campus and supportive teachers. I wish there were more industry workshops and placement-focused training. Overall, college life here is good and balanced.

Our college is a good college. But in the college location, it's a downfall as it's in a remote area
Placements: Above 60 percent of students are placed in mechanical. The highest package is 5 LPA. The recruiters are Reliance, Technomount, Railways, etc. The college placement cell is cooperative and helps in the placement of every student. The alumni are also helpful.
Infrastructure: Our college provides a good infrastructure and amenities. Wi-Fi labs, classrooms, etc., are top-notch. The food in the hostels is the best available. The sports and games facilities are also available, and good teams are available for sports. So we have a good activity culture.
Faculty: The faculty members are top-notch, and the curriculum makes one industry-ready. Semester exams are quite average compared to the ease of answering, etc. The pass percent is 60 -70%. The curriculum is more industry-oriented, and an internship history is checked. Our study is project-oriented.
Other: Our college has different events organised. The main college event is Invento, which comes with a one-year break consecutively.
