It was ITC hotels and I started dreaming about the same in near future. Best companies are coming for campus interviews to date offering the best salary as per the industry standards.

Very well-equipped classrooms with the latest technologies are used where a layman will understand everything whatever the skilled teachers are teaching. We used to have a common room with all indoor gaming equipment and a huge gym to keep us fit. I used to stay in a hostel which was like my home. The hostel is well maintained and there was a common canteen. The hostel warden was like my mother.

Faculty: The best faculty members used to teach us. They all are very experienced and skilled in all the subjects. The affection and care they have towards pupil was something which used to attract us to attend their classes. Everyday they used to come up with new ideas to take classes.
