    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.

    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.
