It is accessed with various resources, but it is not very satisfying.

Faculty: A team of teachers is assigned for every new start batch. They are responsible for conducting discussions on various lectures and developing elaborate knowledge on them. Teachers are very liberal with students' examinations, and it would create the lowest percentage of scores in semester exams.

Guidance for MBA discipline in placements scored the least.

Faculty: The MBA courses were offered in various disciplines like Management, Marketing, IT, and other specifications. The faculty members created impactful sessions and were responsible for creating professional leaders, and the potentially admiring faculty members hoped for the students’ best at all times.

Overall, the college is good but average.

Faculty: Some faculty are good, while some are very strict and rigid. Semester exams are passed with a bit of luck. The teaching method is boring and not special. Especially since they do not provide smart classes or good water facilities, and they do not give important questions.

The best college in the Salem district, which is very safe and secure for women.

Faculty: The professors are well-educated and supportive of us. The way of teaching is very good. Also, they have additional teaching methods like a projector class and debate. We have a lot of additional courses to complete with certification, which is very helpful to be placed in good companies.

Actually satisfied because of some faculty, good placements in 2024, and good infrastructure.

Faculty: Most of the teachers are helpful and well-qualified, and they explain concepts clearly. Some go the extra mile to support students. The course curriculum is decent and covers the basics needed for the industry, though some parts could be updated. Semester exams are manageable if you attend classes regularly and revise properly. The pass percentage is fairly good, and students who put in consistent effort usually do well. Overall, the academic environment is supportive and not overly stressful.

I was dissatisfied with the infrastructure and the teaching.

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.

College for learning and opportunities.

Faculty: Faculty was well-educated and provided a top-notch learning experience for them. They were too friendly with us to clear all our doubts. Students will have a good experience to get into the industry after completion of college. The semester exams were too easy if we focus on 3 units per exam.

Decent academics, excellent labs, but can improve on campus life and events.

Faculty: The faculty members are highly qualified, with most holding M.E. /M. Tech degrees and several with PhDs. Teachers are very supportive and approachable, both inside and outside the classroom. The curriculum is regularly updated based on AICTE and university guidelines. Semester exams are moderately difficult. They test both conceptual understanding and problem-solving ability. Students who attend classes regularly and practice the previous year's questions can easily pass.
