The college is best to study and chill at the same time.
Placements: The placements are good enough that a student can survive and also depends on the company you get placed. If you get placed in a small company with a good package, then well and good, or if you get selected in good company with the small packages, then you'll have to wait for the package to increase after a few years of work.
Infrastructure: The infrastructure is best when compared to all other engineering colleges. The latest technology and maintenance of classrooms are there on the campus. We have the best food courts with subway, barista, and much more known franchise. One of the best colleges to opt for out of all other colleges in the country.
Faculty: Good course selection opportunities are there on the campus, and also, the faculty members are one of the most known faculty members of the country. We get all the latest technology and course for every department. The faculty has a very good knowledge of whatever they teach. They are qualified enough to teach the students and also knowledgeable enough to clear our doubts.
Other: Technical and cultural fests are unbelievable in the college.
