Placements: Every year, 65-77% of the students are placed at our college. Companies such as Kotak Bank, KPMG, and the Reserve Bank of India visit our campus on an annual basis. We have a well-coordinated placement cell, which is really beneficial to us. The typical pay package ranges from 15 LPA to 29 LPA. 72% of students receive internship opportunities.

Infrastructure: I enjoyed the campus, despite the fact that it was leased. The ultimate combination of contemporary and nature. The classrooms are outfitted with cutting-edge technology, while the grounds provide enough opportunities to appreciate nature. However, there are no labs, which is one of the primary disadvantages, although the lectures are adequate. The library was poorly placed, and medical services were only provided on paper.

Faculty: Our college offers a wide range of courses in comparison to other universities, and our teaching members are highly qualified. Some are M.Teach grades, while others hold PhDs and can impart useful expertise to students. The lecturers are very supportive and provide the kids valuable time in the event of an emergency. Semester exams are difficult, and the pass rate is 45%.
