Very good campus environment with no ragging and all.
Placements: I am not going to do an internship, but I have done a finance project at Nikita Containers Pvt Ltd. I am not working. They have not given any offers. Nikita Containers makes molds and shapes and does packaging. They supply to all shops and companies. As of this year, the college has started to offer jobs in the college as junior faculty members.
Infrastructure: My college celebrates festivals and has management events, etc. Yes, a library is available, with separate benches and chairs for students, fans and lights, and a projector for teaching purposes. We play cricket, volleyball, throwball, etc. We have enjoyed college life to the core by having yearly functions and festivals. We celebrate all regional festivals, and there is no discrimination against anyone. They support extracurricular activities.
Faculty: For every department, there are 7-8 faculty members, and each year has a maximum of 100 students. The faculty helps students get full knowledge and guides them to interact with patients. Every week, one mentor is allotted, where the teacher and students are gathered in groups to discuss problems.

The course is very easy to focus on research.
Placements: There is only one internship provided in the final year of the college, which lasts for 3 months, and we have to prepare a journal on the given topic. There will be an internal viva exam where professors from different colleges gather to conduct the question-and-answer process. Only final-year students are eligible for placements, and the companies offering placements through our college include Infosys, TCS, Accenture, Piramal Finance, 24.[AI], and many more. Ninety-nine percent of the students get placed in these companies.
Infrastructure: Extracurricular activities like sports are conducted by the management once a year. There is no discrimination based on sexual orientation, politics, or economic status in our college, and there is no ragging. Workshops are conducted yearly in our college. We have a technical event called Science Fest, and we also have a cultural event called Cetafest. Our management conducts festival events on festival days, and in technical events, there are more participants from other colleges as well.
Faculty: The faculty is sufficient in number to engage classes without any interruption. The faculty I have liked the most is our principal, Mr. Patil, who is a big encouragement for the students. He meets all the needs of both students and faculty. The faculty I dislike is our sports teacher, Mr. Patil. He has a tendency to compare students and only focuses on his profit from our results and doesn’t support us in anything, even though I have made achievements in my sport.

Student get great exposure and placement offer last year our campus have average placement offer of 7-8 lakhs per annum. Our campus got the highest package of 28 lakhs this year and about 90% of our senior are now placed since last semester.
    Infrastructure: The campus life is very enjoyable and full of the happiest place is that only on the campus. Many sports are given on the college campus. Lots of funs on campus. The library facility also provides on the college campus and it's very useful to all students.
    Faculty: Students can approach any staff in case of doubt, staff are really helpful while building final year projects and assignments. My personal favorite faculty was Amitha mam and Supriya mam who were strict during the academics but jovial in other time and really helped me with my project and internship projects. Exams will be conducted depending on how many subjects we had in the particular semester. A student will have to write the 3 internal exams and final examinations and lab where the practical examination will be held.

The Highest package of 2024 is 49 LPA and the average package is 4 L per annum. There are 75% of students get placed every year in my university. My plan after getting degree is higher studies.

The range is nearly 1 km from the entrance and accessibility of books is nearly 1 month. The faculties and technological provisions are very good. Mostly our College support extracurricular activities more. In our college no clubs and no social groups are formed.
    Faculty: In my department the faculties are friendly and expert in teaching and guiding for carrier they do some carrier advise instead of regular classes. One of my favorite faculties are Dr.Amudhavalli mam and Dr.Delhi raj sir they gave me expertized teaching for carrier and what to do after the studies and friendly communication between them so I like them very much. There are up to 4 exams per semester and there is 8 semester. The exams are little bit easy when you learn and the failing ratio is too low in my department.

    I liked my departments faculty so much they are so friendly and have great knowledge.
    Placements: Internship opportunities are less. Placements are good but internship opportunities are average according to me. But have projects which are helpful to use like field based project, mini project, major project. There are separate classes for placements called PAT(PLACEMENT AND TRAINING CENTER) There they teach every thing which are useful for over placement and they charge for that around 15000 and condition is to get chance in pat is the student CGPA must be greater than 6.6 and minimum 2 backlogs are allowed.
    Infrastructure: Many events and occasions take place in university starting from Onam to Pongal to Ugadi and Christmas. Onam usually happens in September and Pongal in February and Christmas in December. The library also has a very good range and accessibility of books. Smart boards are also available in classrooms and even air conditioner is installed in classrooms and University organizes various sport competitions various social groups like SFI , NSUI , MSF , ABVP students led organizations are present in the campus.
    Faculty: Faculty to student relationship is very good with maximum of faculty and way of teaching is decent. Clarification of doubts are always good and encouragement among your skill according to me. IT faculties are good and exam structure is that there are 2 semester per year and each semester consist of 2 mids, 2 internals and a external.

    Faculty are too good. They will give you better understanding of the concepts.
    Placements: In the last semester, you are eligible for placements. 150+ companies come. The average package is 7LPA. The companies from Microsoft to Accenture and TCS are all service-based companies that come here. The highest package is 25LPA. One of my friends got his offer of 25LPA from JP Morgan. The percentage of students who are placed is 30% to 40%. In their ADs, they say 100% placement, all of this is fake.
    Infrastructure: Hostel according to me deserves a one-star. The rooms are small enough to accommodate only one person, however, two need to stay in one room. There is no AC availability here. If you need AC you have to pay 75,000 extra per year for it which is completely absurd. Hostel mess food is also not that great. There has been insects everywhere in the food time and again and we have complained about it multiple times, but no action has been taken. So in my opinion, paying 200000 for this hostel is not at all worth it. Better get an apartments outside the college.
    Faculty: The course subjects are irrelevant. Instead of mastering one teach, they just teach every teach like web development, android development, flutter, and machines learning. But in campus placement, you just need to master one teach because all companies hire for one teach. That's why the curriculum is not very good. There teaching methods are also not good. They just come and read the PPT in front of you and leave.
