It is an amazing campus with good placements and supportive teachers.

Placements: Many reputed companies like Infosys, TCS, and Zoxima are invited to the campus for placement drive. However, only a few students from our batch were selected on basis of their performance and skills. The package was not more than 3 LPA but for starting the career it is pretty good.

Infrastructure: The infrastructure of the university is very nice and the entire university is covered with greenery. The classrooms are airy and spacious. In addition to this, the best part of the university is its library and the reading hall which are fully air-conditioned and have all the necessary books and journals. The reading hall is open 24X7 for the students, and Wi-Fi is also available there.

Faculty: Teachers are very helpful and supportive in every situation. They have high degrees that make them so knowledgeable and down to earth as well. One lecture is for one hour, and that one hour is made fruitful completely by the teachers. The semester exams are neither too difficult nor too easy. If one studies well and listens to the teachers in class, then one can easily score a good percentage.

Other: Scholarships are provided to economically weaker students which is a noble work. Fest organised are the best.
