The best college in the gandhinagar.

Placements: No placements to our class don't have a good hut placement its okay. Ita not a big dill. The highest salary cols so loss. I think maybe 40 percent student salary offered and college internship. It's not useful its a slow placement. And not a good opportunity.

Infrastructure: No Wi-Fi. Labs no useable under teachers guidance. Classrooms not clean but it's our small responsibility. Medical facilities are available. Sports and games are useable. And also events seminar. Available. Canteen not good. It's ok. Hostel rooms so bad. Poor very poor.

Faculty: Teachers they helpful but teaching it's not completely. Teaching method good but task don't have. The student is not happy with teachers some teachers leave in week 3-4 days and after then our course is back but just a topic in teacher otherwise college very good.

Other: Campus crowd is all day same.
