Teachers are not that knowledgeable.

Placements: Actually, our college placement drive is very much real, and it helps skilled persons to get hired. The top recruiters of my college are TCS and CTS. In my college, the department of artificial intelligence and data science is very good in terms of placements.

Infrastructure: The college has decent infrastructure with well-maintained classrooms, laboratories and Wi-Fi facilities across the campus. The computer labs are updated and provide a good environment for practical learning, and the library is spacious with a wide range of books.

Faculty: Most of the faculty members are knowledgeable and approachable, but some of the professors are not that knowledgeable, in my opinion. The college should be concerned about this and improve it to provide good, knowledgeable teachers. The pass percentage is mostly positive.

If you are within Pondicherry, it’s a good college, but if you are outside, it’s your choice.

Placements: There are only 50 percent of students who got placed. The lowest package is 1.8 LPA, and the highest is 12 LPA. Wipro and probably mostly TCS are the top recruiters. No internships are provided from the college. The main roles offered are team leader, data analyst, full stack developer, and many others. The placement has decreased in 2023–2024 due to high competition, and they are expected to increase in 2026.

Infrastructure: The classrooms are good and with air facilities it has many windows so that even in power cut we will be fine, They have Wi-Fi connection but it's restricted for students, it has a good library too, the mess is not bad, the food is average it not so great, but they provide snacks in evening, there is a hospital very near in walking distance so no need to worry about it, there are clubs for sports and regular competition are conducted but they don't care about e-sports.

Faculty: The teachers are good, and they are well educated, but their teaching is quite outdated. The syllabus is not so relevant as it depends upon the university, but now it’s changed, and they are keeping it good. The semester is easy, and the pass percentage is 95 percent.

Other: I chose ECE as it is multitasking, so I preferred it, and it has high placement in our college. They conduct a good number of events every now and then, but that’s only for the 1st years.
