One of the best government colleges for ECE, for average ranking students.
Placements: After completion, very few companies come, like TCS and small service-based companies. But mass hiring is very less likely happen. Mostly each company took 10 students, but average salary package is low, like 3 LPA - 4 LPA and rarely 6 LPA - 10 LPA. But recruiters do recruit, and if students study just enough not so hard, he or she can easily get a job.
Infrastructure: Classroom and every infrastructure are very old, but they maintain them. Recently, new mental doors have been connected, to the classroom in administrative building. But still they need to take more steps to build good infrastructure, as per Wi-Fi. Campus has Wi-Fi but it's not for students and only for official work stuff and principal. Girls hostel has Wi-Fi, but still because many use it, it's speed is very low. College has a ground, but it also needs more maintenance.
Faculty: I would say, faculty members are very good. All professors are very helpful. They teach us very profoundly. Lab assistants are not as highly good, but they do their work as well as a student wants to get. Teachers also suggest and guide students to participate in various courses and programs.
Other: I would say, if anyone is willing to come into a college wish is government with average rank, then must choose ECE department of this college. ECE department has the best faculty members with best campusing also.

Average faculty members, good placements in 2024, average infrastructure, and disgusting canteen.
Placements: The highest package is 52 LPA by Microsoft. It is an off campus placement. TCS hires students almost every year with an average package of 6 LPA, I suppose. Top recruiting companies include Microsoft, Google, Amazon, Wipro, Cognizant, Infosys, Capgemini, and HCL Technologies. Overall placement is 80% guaranteed. Best role offered is data analyst.
Infrastructure: Our college has decent Wi-Fi. Classrooms don't have air-conditioning system. Few of the labs have air conditioning but they don't work. Library books are old and outdated, and not in accordance with the latest syllabus. Even the library does not have air conditioning. Canteen is very unclean, and unhealthy foods are served. Speaking of medical services, they don't have any medicine on standby for emergencies. Sports and games consist mostly of indoor games.
Faculty: Teachers are helpful, but they are averagely qualified. Teaching quality is not as expected. Curriculum should be focused on practical learning rather than just mugging up a huge load of theory books. I don't understand why economics is included in the CSE setup syllabus. Exams are very irrelevant. It is natural because they don't even teach to that level and expect us to learn them all by ourselves.

Absolutely satisfied with the good placements and faculty members.
Placements: Every year, 80 to 90% of students get placed from our college in top companies. Top recruiting companies are TCS, Wipro, and Cognizant. Top roles offered by the companies are analyst trainee and graduate trainee to the candidates. The highest package offered by companies is 12 LPA, the average is 6 LPA, and the lowest is 2 LPA. Every year, 80% of students get internships in TCS, HCLTech, and many more.
Infrastructure: Facilities and infrastructure are excellent here, plus the Wi-Fi connection is good for students to access the internet inside the campus. Classrooms and labs are neat and clean. Plus, the quality of food in the hostel and canteen is good to eat and delicious. Also, hostel rooms are neat and clean with good facilities available.
Faculty: Teachers are very qualified and helpful in our college. They are very friendly and teach students well to make them understand the subject easily. This course is relevant and makes the students able to get jobs in IT companies. Semester exams are very easy, and the pass percentage is 50%.
Other: I chose this course as I have interest in the IT sector, plus the best thing in this course is that it helps to increase knowledge in the technical field. But Data Structure is quite difficult, and this needs to improve to get good marks. Different fests and events are held in our college like technical events, plus scholarships are also provided to students by our college.
