Good placements in 2024 and every good infrastructure

Placements: About 250 students are placed in our course, with a minority of 70 males, while the rest are females. The package I chose covered all the basic necessities, dorm, and it cost around 1.5 lakhs. Many of my seniors have gotten good positions in companies, and the placement is very advantageous.

Infrastructure: The facilities and infrastructure are well-rounded and equipped with good basic equipment. I can easily use the facilities, and all the classrooms have air conditioning, with large blackboards. The Wi-Fi in the dorms is not quite good, but the library is a great alternative.

Faculty: The teachers were fully supportive and helped us all the way. My queries were almost non-existent with them helping me all the way. The exams are well-deserved, I guess, since they test the students. The exams weren’t so difficult as I kept up with my studies; for others, I can't speak.

Other: I chose this course because I was always good at mathematics and wanted to reach newer heights with it. I hope it takes us to more and more outer programs.

You can be a part of this college and enjoy the campus.

Placements: At my campus, the placement is not good; mostly students go to pursue higher education. Then, after having a higher education, they are going to be placed. If I tell you about myself, in my class, only two students got placed. As I am saying to you again, it is very difficult to get placed on campus.

Infrastructure: The course infrastructure is good. They provide a lot of facilities. The department organized for students to be aware of the world. The classroom is so good—a completely air-conditioned classroom with wifi is available. The hostel facility is so good, with good mess food.
