Strong placement and internship opportunities with excellent infrastructure.

Placements: In my course, approximately 60% of students got successfully placed in reputable organizations. Top recruiters for our course are primarily from IT-based companies. Internships require at least a 50% completion rate. The leading roles aligned with our course focus on mapping and rely heavily on satellite technology.

Infrastructure: Wi-Fi is available in our department and the library, but there will be times when classrooms do not have Wi-Fi access. The quality of the hostel is very poor. The canteen has a limited selection of food options. Medical facilities are available on a nearby campus, and there are few sports activities offered at our campus.

Faculty: Teachers are enhancing our curriculum to ensure high quality. This course is relevant and engaging. The second year can be quite challenging, with a passing grade requirement of 50%. The quality of teachers is good. This course is based on satellite technology, which makes students very excited to learn.

Absolutely Satisfied with the Facilities and Top-Class Placement.

Placements: Around 70% of students choose to attend a university. The remaining students choose professions such as teaching, administration, and taking state examinations. Getting an internship is easy. The staff and the university are very supportive during the internship.

Infrastructure: Consumption is almost stable. There is a greenery story. Although the refrigerator is located downtown, it is located on campus. The hotel is very nice. The food is worth the money.

Faculty: The faculty members are very friendly and knowledgeable. They know how to teach and have a wealth of experience helping students succeed. The syllabus is a bit more complicated because it covers all the core of mathematics, so it’s a bit more challenging. The semester exams are easy, and the pass rate is around 79.7%.
