Absolutely not satisfied, but okay for me about the faculty and placements.

Placements: 80 percent of the students got placed from our course. The lowest package starts from lakhs, and the highest package starts from above 2.5 LPA. Top recruiting companies are TCS, Tata Electronics, etc. All the students got internships at a 100 percent rate and they went to their nearby location. Recruiting companies are Aavin Milk Production Company, United Paper Ones Company, Auditor's Office, etc. The top roles offered in our course are Sales Executive.

Not a quality college for this amount.

Placements: I'm a Computer Science student from 2023 to 2026. Around two-thirds of students got placed by the placement cell. Mostly those are business processing jobs. Some students get placed in Cognizant for 5 LPA packages. Around 30 students got placed in the TCS Smart Hiring. Mostly the placement is good.

Satisfied in all factors like faculty, infrastructure, canteen facilities, etc.

Placements: 80 percent of students were placed in my course because the number of companies visiting our college was high. The highest average package was 22 LPA, the lowest average package was 4 LPA. Wipro, TCS, and CTS recruited. 100 percent of students got internships. Developer and designer roles were offered.

I had a balanced college life between academics and entertainment regarding college.

Placements: Roles offered are Embedded engineer, power system engineer, AutoCAD design, etc. Likely 70% of the students were placed. Mostly, the IT companies from multiple domains used to hire a lot. However, most placement percentages originate from core departments, such as EEE, ECE, Mech, and Civil.

Good faculty and placement.

Placements: The college has a good placement record with around 75-90 percent of students getting placed each year. Every student is so talented after joining this college and participating in extracurricular activities. The students are selected by top MNCs and high-paying companies.

Overall, the college was good, but not well-satisfied.

Placements: In my batch, 95% of students got placed in different companies like Sutherland, Foxconn, Capgemini, etc. They offered different roles due to their vacancy and the students' skills. The placed students also got good salary packages as freshers of nearly Rs. 15,000 - Rs. 18,000.
