Greater infrastructure of the college.

Placements: Placements are very satisfactory while the students have maintained CGPA above 7.5. Many students who have good CGPA like above 9, they get placement at companies like Nvidia, Microsoft, or many more. This is what I get from the holder record of the university placement record.

Great faculty but the college is not worth the money paid.

Placements: There are already very less students studying in this so placement rates might be high but the average package is very low about 1.5 lacs per annum. The highest package is about 3-4 lacs. Considering the internships, we are free to do it from any place.
