The college has good faculty and decent placements every year.
Placements: Placements for geophysics course are quite decent. Companies like Coal India Limited, ONGC, etc., come for campusing. This year, i.e., in 2019, 34 students were called for interview by ONGC (criteria was GPA>=8). Out of them, 7 students were selected with an annual salary package 19 LPA to 21 LPA. Most of the private companies also visited for placements.
Infrastructure: Classes are fully air-conditioned, and labs are also quite decent. The library is the best in terms of space and facilities, it is fully air-conditioned, but if we talk about book availability, it is not as good as expected. The hostel is good, but the quality of food served is horrible.
Faculty: The department is full of well-qualified and experienced as well as some horrible professors. Teachers are well-qualified and helpful. We can go to their cabin whenever we have doubt. Some teachers like Salivahan are best in delivering lectures. Most of the classes are conducted through a powerpoint presentation. The course curriculum is designed as per students' interest. Student can choose elective course accordingly.
Other: I chose M.Sc Tech in applied geophysics because it is a technical course. After pursuing this course, most of the students go for ONGC and other petroleum companies. Few go for research. This course is very good for getting a good job, and the competition is also less.

I am satisfied with the faculty members and placements. The best college to study geophysics.
Placements: Placements for the students of our batch and senior batch were quite satisfactory. Almost 50% of the students from our batch were placed. They got placed in companies like Schlumber, Cairn India, ONGC, Oil India, IOCL and Coal India. The average salary package offered was 12 LPA to 14 LPA.
Infrastructure: The infrastructure of our college was very good. Hostel facilities were very nice. The whole campus was Wi-Fi enabled. The college also has a well-equipped computer lab and library. Medical facilities were also very nice. Our college has two big playgrounds, swimming pools, badminton court and volleyball court, etc.
Faculty: Teachers in our college were very experienced and knowledgeable. Few teachers also had industrial experience. Every year, only 40 to 50 students were selected for this course. Our department had only 10 to 12 faculty members. Industrial and field exposures were also part of the curriculum. We went to Jharia in our first year, and we went to Jagoda in our second year. For industrial exposure, some of our batchmates went to Ongc Mumbai and oil India etc.
Other: Our college also provides scholarships. They organise extracurricular activities like Basant fest and techno fest, etc.
