Reading room and library facilities to study.
Placements: Basically, from the end of the 6th semester, which is from the end of the 3rd year, your placements start, and all kinds of companies visit, from IT to chemical to electrical, etc. Some hire in mass, while others hire a few specific candidates. This college maintains a group where all the information is transmitted. If a company wants to hire, it releases a Google form through the groups, and students can apply if they are eligible. Companies like PhonePe, Oracle, Infosys, Accenture, Kalki Tech, EY, Insight Software, and many more are on the list. All these companies hire a handful of students and first offer them paid internships for a few months before converting them to full-time employees. The highest offer last year was 32 lakh, with an average of 5 lakh to 6 lakh and the lowest being 3.5 lakh.
Infrastructure: The campus life is pretty amazing. Festivals are thoroughly enjoyed. Each department has its own library where books can be referred to but not taken out. There is also a main library with a reading room that remains open until 3 am. We celebrate almost all the festivals, like Sankranti, Ugadi, Onam, Christmas, Ramzan (Iftar), Ganesh Chaturthi, and Bathukamma, and every department has separate celebrations.
Faculty: Every department has around 30 to 40 teaching and non-teaching staff, and every semester contains approximately 4 to 5 subjects. Teachers are alternated every semester, so every teacher gets a chance to interact with the students throughout. Each semester, we have 3 internal assessments for 50 marks each in all subjects, like a monthly test. All 50 marks are reduced to 20, so the 3 tests throughout the semester are 20 + 20 + 20 = 60. Assignments contain 20 marks, and some seminars and certifications contain 20 marks, so 60 + 20 + 20 = 100. This 100 is divided into half (100/2 = 50), so this final 50 is your college internal mark for the final exam. The rest 50 comes from the main board exam from the university.
