There are good facilities and infrastructure in our college.

Placements: 80 percent students were placed. 15k to 50k is the average package offered in our course, Zeiss, Titan. 88% students got internships & companies like Zeiss, Titan. When the internship was completed, we got an interview to get placed in good companies.

Infrastructure: Good facilities. Good hostel facilities and food is okay in our hostel. And in our hostel, there are more conditions and rules. If we break the rules, then we need to get a punishment, whatever they say. So, the students obey the wardens' words so that they won’t get any punishment.

Faculty: Teachers are helpful, and they are qualified, knowledgeable, and teaching qualities are better. Yes, the semester is difficult. Sometimes the semester exams are tough because the questions are tough. It’s not easy to clear. If students did hard work, then the exams are easy.

Other: Father's suggestion: Contact lens guide. Events are good in our college.
