Above average, there is no assurance of placement.

Placements: There were only 40 seats allocated for one batch, plus 2 seats for the Andaman and Nicobar Island quotas and 1 Fisherman quota. In our college, half of the students are in the food industry, digital marketing, etc. Some of the students went for higher studies.

Infrastructure: There are Wi-Fi facilities in both the college and hostel. There are computer lab facilities, an engineering workshop, labs, an NADP incubation center, etc. At first, the mess was in the students' mess; there was a dividing system for all, but after Corona, they changed into a contractual mess. The food quality and quantity are okay.

Faculty: Yes, facilities were qualified and helpful. Yes. In the final year, they made it compulsory to do internships in industries. So they made us ready for industry. Semester exams are slightly different from those at other universities and a little bit tougher. The papers were sent to various affiliated colleges for corrections. The pass percentage is 80–95%.

Other: There is a lot of events, fest, extra & co-curricular activities in there. And there is one paper for NSS4. There are many events, festivals, extracurricular and co-curricular activities. There is also a compulsory 10-day camp in the village. There is no hostel fee for this college; there is only a hostel deposit and a monthly Rs. 4000 for mess and Rs. 250 for maintenance charges.
