Place to study and good for personal growth.
Placements: Good opportunity for placements. Professors & seniors are involved in providing placements to students. Seniors provide guidance to students in providing placements. Pay package is good and placement is given according to the requirement of the students.
Infrastructure: Infrastructure is really good. Homely environment in college, little bit gets suffocated during rains. Very nicely maintained building and classrooms proper drinking water facility is available. Hostels are nicely maintained and security facility is well maintained.

Other: Describe your college to someone who has never heard of it. You know your college best and know what's important - faculty, placement, infrastructure. Talk about the good, the bad and the missing. You could also write about what's interesting - eating joints, the student crowd, college fests. And anything else that you think prospective students need to know. Sample Review 1 Classes are interactive in nature and are a healthy mix of formal lectures, case studies and presentations. An equal weightage of 50% is given to both internal and external exams. Tests are conducted on a regular basis which can be both, planned as well as surprise in nature. Although surprise tests are not very common but students try and stay as up-to-date as possible in subjects such as Finance and Economics where you won't know when your knowledge is put to test. Students are not given any handouts as such but most of the teachers share their presentations with them. Sample Review 2 I study in CS and we have the best of renowned and dedicated faculty. The whole curriculum is designed to provide flexibility to students to choose among interdisciplinary subjects as per one’s personal interests and choices. Its huge 550 acres of green campus has two lakes and hills and a wide range of forest area surrounding the campus. The campus provides an awesome range of facilities and infrastructure for sports and fitness, on par with the best in the world, for a meagre fee as the institute is government run. Sample Review 3 This college is not up to the mark in quality of teaching. Lab instructors do not teach well. Classes are not conducted as per schedule. Placement is pathetic and no good companies visit the college. Majority of the placements happen in pool campus in some other college, where preference is given to their college students. Pre-placement preparation is also unsatisfactory. Only Computer Science students get preference, while students of other branches suffer due to ineffective management. Sample Review 4 I have mixed reviews for this college. Even though the campus facilities and exposure which it provides through its events is fabulous; the Placements are only average. The fee structure at my time of joining was very high, which I feel is not worth the money as the ROI is lowered. The faculty is not up to the mark and even the college crowd is not so great. I will not recommend this college to others. Sample Review 5 The first thing one is sure to notice when he/she enters the campus of the college is the impressive academic building. However, something about which students often crib is that the campus is small as compared to other b-schools. There is also no available ground for outdoor activities such as cricket and football, forcing students to be content with indulging in indoor sports. The college has comfortable classrooms. The professors at this b-school are strict when it comes to academics and students are permitted late admission up to five minutes post the commencement of the class. The college canteen offers a wide variety of food (both veg and non-veg) which are served on a daily basis (breakfast, lunch, evening snacks and dinner). The college is usually visited by around 85-90 companies during its placement season. Sample Review 6 This is one of the engineering colleges whose name speaks for itself. It has a host of clubs and activities to choose from for all round development, depending on your interests. Robotics, Aero modelling, Quizzing and Debating are just a few of the many activities available. College hosts three fests, which itself are worth joining the campus. Of course, you can't miss too many classes, attendance is strict. Teachers are good but not great. Students here are extremely friendly and try to enjoy their life to the maximum. There are many places to relax. There's a CCD on campus. Films are screened occasionally in the Auditorium. Boys have a lot of freedom, so do girls except that they have a curfew active from 9:00pm. Being a centrally funded institute, college fees is lower than all comparable institutes. Almost all big companies come for campus placements.
