About good and enjoyable college.
Placements: From 7th semester, students become eligible for campus placements. Top companies are Amazon, TCS, Infosys, Wipro, HUL, HCL, and so on. I got an offer in 2 companies, Infosys and Base Automation Technologies. The highest package is 51 LPA, and the average package is 3 LPA to 5 LPA. 90% of people are easily getting placed, and have plans after getting the placements to work.
Infrastructure: The main thing I would like to mention here is library, over 4 lakhs books are placed in the library including IAS, IFS, IPS, central and state government aspirants can also use it. The gym is overall good. Campus timing is 8:00 AM to 4:00 PM, depending on the day of the order and departments. Security is very strict here so students can't do any unnecessary activities inside the campus.
Faculty: The faculty to students ratio is overall good. The relationship between the students and faculty members is very good. My best faculty is Dr. Kirigalan, he is a good professor, and he will always be open to help students after the college time also. The course is well structured. We can expect 7 to 8 subjects for each semester, and everything is easy to understand.
Other: Milan and Aarush are the famous events in our college. Around 20 to 30 festivals will be happening here because all the state students are studying that's the main reason. The facilities and technology provisions in the classrooms are projectors, LED displays like smart television, AC, and so on.

Great campus life, Bad ROI.
Placements: The percentage of students placed is very vague as a lot of students just opt out of placement because of their CGPA and they are not considered for placement. If you are an average student you can get around 6 to 7 LPA if you maintain your CGPA. Companies like Wipro and L&T are the top recruiters. Internship you have to secure at your college gives you almost zero support there.
Infrastructure: Labs and Classrooms are actually pretty good if you opt for CSE as the new building TP 2 is highly advanced. Library is also pretty good with a nighttime study facility. Hostels are expensive and the hostel staff is pretty annoying. You have an appointment at 9 o clock so beware of that.
Faculty: Teachers try but to be honest, for our course they are bad actually pretty bad. The curriculum is good and you can score decent marks if you just prepare from the resources, as you will find a lot of resources to help you. Semester exams are actually pretty easy but the thing is you have exams throughout the year, so it is pretty exhausting. You have 3 cycle tests for each subject every semester. Then there is the final semester exam which is of only 40 marks. The remaining 60 marks are on internal and cycle tests.
Other: Too much crowd in CSE thats why I chose Electronics and Communication. To be honest this course is very tough but you can manage if you focus on the core subjects. There are a lot of events but if you are coming from North India, you will be a little disappointed as the fests are pretty south dominated. There are a lot of hackathons happening all throughout the year.
