Absolutely satisfied with the academic opportunities, but not so much with the infrastructure.
Placements: Last year, 92.3% of students were placed, with the lowest salary package offered being 3 LPA and the highest reaching 52 LPA. Top recruiting companies include Microsoft and Google, and students can begin securing internships from the second semester onwards. The college provides language training and supports students with research publishing and projects.
Infrastructure: The college has Wi-Fi, a library, and non-AC classrooms, with some blocks featuring AC classrooms. Hostel facilities are satisfactory, though the food quality is average. Additionally, the college offers a large outdoor ground and some indoor games for relaxation.
Faculty: The teachers are highly qualified, supportive, and understanding. The curriculum is designed to prepare students for the industry, and while the difficulty of semester exams varies from student to student, the lectures are generally sufficient to pass. The pass percentage is around 40%.
Other: I chose this college for the Computer Science Engineering course due to its high placement opportunities and the skill-based knowledge provided. Numerous cultural and technical events take place here, helping students build connections and develop their social skills.

Placement report, faculty and infrastructure.
Placements: When we look at the placements in my college, they are really working well to improve placements every year. Training is provided in the third year, and many students get placed in their third year itself. The highest package is 50 LPA, and the lowest may be around 3 LPA.
Infrastructure: When we look at the labs and centers of excellence, they are good. Many students engage to upskill themselves there. Classrooms are being upgraded to smart classrooms, and the library is accessible for hostel students until 6 p.m., where they can use the books to gain knowledge.
Faculty: The semester exams are very easy to clear. Proper coaching is given, and they conduct three internal assessments. They cover all five units for the semester, and faculty guide the students to get good scores in semester examinations.

Absolutely satisfied because of faculty and good placements.
Placements: When it comes to landing a job, our college has our back. They make sure we're prepared for the real world by offering special training in areas like full-stack, Android app development and many more domains. But what sets them apart is their unwavering support. They believe in us and never let us give up on our dreams. Even if we already have a job offer, they encourage us to aim higher and keep trying until we find the perfect fit. It's the dedication to our success that makes our college stand out from the rest.
Infrastructure: It has all the infrastructure to support you in your academics. It also has a playground to play on and two canteens where you can find some good food to enjoy with friends and gangs. Campus may not be so small nor so large. I also expected the same in the hostel, as I am a day scholar. I don't know much but don't expect much from the hostel's food, as that's the reality.
Faculty: While the 6 hours might be long, we are always busy with projects and hands-on activities. The best part, though, is that we have access to cool resources like library and the IoT Lab, where we can put our skills to test and learn by doing. And if we ever need help, the staffs is super supportive and willing to guide us through whatever we're interested in.
