I am dissatisfied with the campus and faculty.
Placements: No placement or internship as per your choice. College is not going to provide any sort of internship facilities. You have to apply outside for internships of your choice, and apart from that, own. There is no placement is also there from the college. I am very dissatisfied from this thing.
Infrastructure: Infrastructure is okay and not like any big university. There are no Wi-Fi facilities, but the classrooms are okay, with a library and a lab. But there is no canteen, food, mess, or any other facilities are zero. There are no sports or nothing. It is very boring to study here.
Faculty: Faculty members are okay, knowledgeable, and have good skills, but way of teaching varies from each one of them. It is up to you how you grab the fundamentals. No complaints are taken into consideration or acted upon, so you have to study on your own.
Other: Value for money is okay, but there are no functions, only freshers.

Searching for a successful beginning.
Placements: In our course, 70% of students are placed. The lowest package is 3-4 LPA, and the highest is 10-15 LPA. We are working in a medical or health center. 80% of students got internships through the college, and the faculty also helps and supports the students with their internships.

Joining this college is highly recommended by me.
Placements: Here, placement is not so good, you have to develop your skills and maintain a good grade for your placement, but your certificate, which you will get from the college, has topmost priority if you go for an off-campus job. Hence, your grade and skill matter for your job.
Infrastructure: They provide better hostels than other government colleges, and their room are quite good. Their mess is also very good, provides best food, and they maintain hygiene very well. Overall, a good college.
Faculty: They conduct exams regularly and also give very good marks if you have written something about the topic. Here, the faculty is very good. They provide courses with great facilities and support you in your respective courses.
Other: Very good college. They also conduct a freshers' party for the freshers group. Also, there are many programmes every year, but here politics is one of the main reasons not to join.
