Facilities and infrastructure are very good.
Placements: Placements scenario in our batch is very poor. The last passed out batch had zero placements. This year, the CDC team is trying its best to invite companies to recruit students of our batch. Mostly companies related to finance and consultancies visit our campus to recruit students.
Infrastructure: All labs are well-equipped. There is a departmental library for us. The entire campus is Wi-Fi enabled. Classrooms are spacious and well-maintained. Hostels are very well-facilitated. Food served is average. Medical facilities provided by the college are above average.
Faculty: Faculty members in our college are knowledgeable and highly qualified. Teaching quality is excellent. The course is well-structured with theory and practicals. In my opinion, some of the subjects make students industry-ready. The course curriculum is not much helpful for our Placements.
