College has good placements, excellent infrastructure for studies, and good staff.
Placements: I completed my MCA in the 2022-2024 batch. Around 85% of the students from our batch got placed through campus recruitment. The highest package offered is ₹12 LPA, the lowest is around ₹3.2 LPA, and the average hovered around ₹6 LPA. The top recruiting companies for our course included TCS, Wipro, Infosys, Cognizant, Accenture, and Capgemini. Nearly 70% of students secured internships, with companies like Deloitte, HCL, and Oracle offering summer projects. The top roles offered are software developer, data analyst, system engineer, and associate consultant.
Infrastructure: MCA department has modern computer labs with high-speed Wi-Fi, updated software, and projectors in classrooms. The library is well-stocked with technical books, reference materials, and e-resources. Hostel facilities are good, with clean rooms, 24/7 water supply, and security. The mess serves hygienic food with a decent variety of veg and non-veg options. There is also a canteen on campus for quick snacks. Medical facilities are available within the campus, along with sports grounds, indoor games, and a well-equipped gym.
Faculty: Faculty is highly qualified, with most having industry or research experience. They are approachable, supportive, and encourage practical learning along with theory. The MCA curriculum is updated to match industry needs, including programming languages, cloud computing, AI, and big data analytics. Semester exams are moderately difficult; regular study and practical project work make it easier to score. The pass percentage in our department is generally above 90%.
Other: For the total course fee of ₹2,10,000 (including tuition, hostel, library, and mess), the quality of education, placements, and exposure provided makes it a value-for-money option compared to other institutes offering MCA. The campus is vibrant, with students from different states creating a rich cultural mix. Tech fests, cultural events, hackathons, and sports meets are conducted regularly. The college is well-connected by public transport, and nearby cafes and hangout spots add to student life. Scholarships are available for meritorious and economically backward students. Extracurricular clubs for programming, music, dance, and entrepreneurship ensure overall personality development.

I was dissatisfied with the infrastructure and the teaching.
Placements: I passed out in 2022 from the BBA batch, which had a total of 48 students. Most students in my batch were from the sports quota, so the studies were not that well. But the college provides a sports quota for different games. The students in my batch were great in their own games and won several trophies.
Infrastructure: The infrastructure was too poor, the building for the BBA was not fully completed, and the interior was not that great. Only the main building was well-maintained, and the building for the BBA course was not completely built. I hope they have fully completed it during the past year.
Faculty: The curriculum was not that great, and the teaching was also not good. The exams conducted in class and the university exams were good. But the staff were not that attentive towards students, except for one or two faculty members. The teaching was average and not up to expectations.

Supportive faculty, decent facilities, and manageable academics.
Placements: AET does have a dedicated placement cell that offers training in communication, aptitude, group discussions, and supports both internships and campus recruitment. However, specific details like placement rates, salary packages, top recruiters, or internship roles remain undisclosed publicly. I am a 2023 passout.
Infrastructure: A. E. T. Arts & Science College, Salem, offers a well-equipped campus with facilities that support both academic and extracurricular activities. The college provides campus-wide Wi-Fi, two dedicated computer centers, two to three laboratories, and a well-stocked library for students' learning needs. Common spaces such as an auditorium, conference hall, and common rooms are available for academic programs and cultural events, while a sports complex and multiple playgrounds encourage physical activities. The campus also houses a cafeteria, a guest house, and a health center that offers basic medical support. Hostel facilities are available, including a girls' hostel with around 250 beds.
Faculty: The faculty at A. E. T. Arts & Science College, Salem, is generally regarded as qualified and knowledgeable, with many teachers being approachable and supportive towards students. While official records on teaching quality are limited, available feedback suggests that the curriculum is designed to meet academic requirements and provides a foundation that can be built upon for industry readiness, though additional skill-based training may be needed for certain career paths.

College is good and it has good value for money.
Placements: Campus interview is conducted in the university by the Government of Tamil Nadu. At least 90% of students were placed in the campus interview. Almost all students got internships in industries, hospitals, and government buildings like the VAO office and the SP office.
Infrastructure: Classrooms are good, but there is no availability of Wi-Fi on the campus. The library is good and has separate libraries for each department, as well as a large common library. The college has four hostels, two for boys and two for girls. The food is not very good.
Faculty: Teachers are helpful and well knowledgeable about their subjects. The quality of the teachers is okay. Teachers are well qualified with doctorate degrees. The course makes the students industry-ready. The pass percentage is 35 out of 100. The exam is not very tough.

Placements need improvement. Canteen lacks variety, and bus services are poor.
Placements: A lot of students were placed, but they are placed in very low-package companies. They have very low packages, and not many top recruiting companies are available here, only small local companies. Most of the students were placed, but they are not satisfied.
Infrastructure: Sports and extracurricular activities are much better than in other colleges, but the faculty members are local people with more egos. The faculty members are treating students with partiality. The management of hostels is good, and the mess is available with a variety of offers. The canteen needs to improve with more variety in food, and medical facilities should be much better. We have a dental block on our campus.
Faculty: Some teachers are so educators to show well in education; others, some or not even well, they are so poor in knowledge of the year of their subject, and the curriculum is better because it is an atom in college: the semester exams, being so straight and perfect, and the schedule in the exams and the organizing of the people with the exam halls.
