Good for aviation - overall average.
Placements: Our program has a good record of placing students in companies like Indigo, Air India, etc. Many students from our senior batch have secured full-time positions, while even second-year students have obtained part-time jobs on campus. While the number of companies visiting our college is limited, those that do tend to be high-quality employers, offering opportunities to a select group of students.
Infrastructure: Our college's outdated infrastructure and poor maintenance make for an unpleasant experience. The bathrooms, in particular, are unsanitary and emit strong odors that can be suffocating. This, combined with other shortcomings, creates a less-than-ideal living environment for students residing in the hostel.
Faculty: The accelerated pace of the course may hinder students' ability to fully grasp the material, especially in the final stages. However, the curriculum is relevant and prepares students for the industry, providing them with the necessary knowledge and skills for success.

Overall, it is a good college with a nice environment.
Placements: Most students in aviation don't depend on the placements provided by the college. Only a few attend the campus interviews for placements because they offer basic pay jobs at IndiGo Airlines. IndiGo is currently the only recruiting company for aviation. They don't provide internships here.
Infrastructure: In our department, we have all lab facilities, but currently, the simulator lab is under construction, and we don't have Wi-Fi facilities in college. The hostels here have Wi-Fi facilities and 24-hour water service. The food here is average, but the rooms are comfortable and neat.
Faculty: The faculty here are well-qualified and experienced in the field. They have practical knowledge about the industry as they have worked in it before, which makes students industry-ready and keeps them inspired. Exams here occur every month, with moderate difficulty.

Placements: Placements were good, but not the best. Companies that came did not offer good packages, at least for my course. The lowest package was around Rs. 13,000–14000, and the highest was Rs. 30,000 according to my seniors. Lab assistant and medical coder roles were mostly offered.
Infrastructure: Wi-Fi facility and labs were good for my course. The library was good and easily accessible for most students on campus. The hostel food was good at the start of the year, I won’t talk about the middle of the year. I mostly ordered food from outside, and by the end of the year, it was super good. The hostel rooms were okay. There was laundry service and vending machines for snacks and juices. Wi-Fi facility was good in hostels.
Faculty: Teachers were super friendly and helpful in most cases if you just existed or performed well, but if you were someone who did notorious things, never expected good internals. The course was relevant, internships were mostly provided, and they gave practical knowledge about the industry. The semester exams were easy if you were an active listener in class.

Other: I chose this because of its growing industry and active development in India. I didn’t know anything that made this course any better. One of things I liked about the college was its college fest and events. There were various scholarships available for students.
