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.

Faculty: The faculty is supportive, and the examination department is fully supportive. The teaching quality and way of teaching are amazing. The teachers are highly qualified. They are supportive every time. My HOD, MS. Poonam, is so lovely and kind. Ma'am play a crucial role in my life.
