College is good. ROI is lower as compared to other colleges.
Placements: Placements are good as big 4 and many big companies visit for recruitments. However, for marketing some companies are not good but overall it is above average as it provides above 90% of placements. It depends mostly on the performance of students.
Infrastructure: Infrastructure of hostel is very good as they keep it clean and neat. But sometimes we have hot water problems in hostel. Coming to college, we have BBA and MBA students sharing the same campus because of which it becomes too crowded.
Faculty: There are only a limited number of faculty members who are worth the fees paid. Some faculty members cannot clear our doubts. Some faculty members have a very good amount of knowledge but do not know how to teach students. Some faculty members don't even teach anything in the class.
