Good college life, great infrastructure, and good teachers.
Placements: The college provides placements. There are honestly high chances of getting placed. However, due to high competition, students need to stand out. Placements are not simply handed to students. They need to work on their skills from the first year itself. The average package for B.Tech CSE is around 6 LPA.
Infrastructure: All facilities are up to the mark. There are great opportunities for students interested in sports. The infrastructure is good. The mess food is okay. There are plenty of food courts and other options available on campus. Students can participate in many sports for free. The college also has a gym and a swimming pool.
Faculty: Teachers are honestly great. I get mostly supportive teachers who help with doubts and other problems. The curriculum is up to the mark. Semester exams are not very tough. They are easy to pass, and if students study well, they can easily achieve a good CGPA. Teachers are helpful, and the subjects are relevant. There are also sessions with industry experts.
Other: Events are great. Honestly, if you are keen to learn, this is a good place.

Good campus life with decent placements and infrastructure.
Placements: Placements in the CSE department are decent if students maintain good coding skills and communication. Around 60-70% of eligible students from our batch will get placed. The average package offered this year to our seniors is around 5-6 LPA, which is just decent for entering the industry. 
Infrastructure: The infrastructure for the CSE department is quite good. Classrooms are good with projectors and Wi-Fi facilities, and computer labs have updated systems. We got some IMAC labs. The central library is large and provides plenty of resources for students. The mess food quality is average but manageable, sometimes good/sometimes average. 
Faculty: Most faculty members are helpful, qualified, and supportive, especially in technical subjects. The teaching quality depends on the professor, but overall, it's okay. You will have to study on your own as well, the teacher can't do much either. 
Other: As a current student graduating in 2028, I feel the college provides many opportunities for students who are willing to work hard and improve their skills. Participation in coding contests, hackathons, and extracurricular activities can help students make the most out of their college life.
