This college is very satisfying and has good placements for all branches.

Faculty: Faculty encourages participation in projects and research. Pass percentage is very high, and very rarely are failures due to less attendance. There are mid-term and end-term examinations. For first years, all branches are mixed and divided in the 2nd year. If their CGPA is above 9, they can change their branch.

As in every college, there is something that you will not like, but you have to take.

The tale of a student - Good infrastructure, average faculties, good placements, good campus life.

Faculty: If we talk about curriculum, as I am from MME, courses are upgraded every year. They introduce a new syllabus and subjects every year. About faculty: in the first year, approximately all faculty members are good, but in higher years, some of the professors are really dangerous. They are horrible, some of them, like 1 or 2, the rest are good.

Good faculty, place for knowledge.

Faculty: Faculty here are really good and supportive. Each student is assigned a guide, and we get to work under their guidance on a specific project or research topic. It's a great opportunity because you can delve deep into one area and actually gain hands-on experience. In the first year, we have regular evaluations like CT1, CT2, and semester exams for both semesters, which help us to stay on track with our studies. In the second year, instead of written exams, we mainly give project presentations fo...
