Infrastructure: It was a great experience in the campus. Labs and Wi-Fi are available. Classrooms are available. Library is available. The quality of mess is good. Canteen service is present. Medical facilities are nice. Sports day and annual day functions are celebrated.

Faculty: The teachers and professors make the students industry ready. 90% students pass from the college. The exam’s difficulty level is intermediate. The course curriculum is better than other colleges.

Our college is a government college to study with less fee.

Placements: Students go for placements in the 7th semester but some students are placed in 6th semester vacation. More than 40 companies are offering placements every year. The highest salary package is 11 LPA and the average salary package is 4 LPA. Around 87% of students were placed with high salaries in 2021.

Infrastructure: Infrastructure, hostel, and other facilities like rooms and meal quality are very poor. Hostel will be provided to the affordable students at the time of admission. There are no PGs. There are a lot of books and journals available in the college library. Classrooms give happiness and learning of education is supervised.

Faculty: There are a lot of subdivisions. More than half faculty have done Ph.D. in their field and are very knowledgeable and more friendly towards students.

Other: There are 6 courses in our college and I selected B.Sc. computer science because it is very interesting and can learn a lot of information and knowledge about its field. Campus life is of 3 years. There are more than 10 scholarships that can be applied particularly by labor welfare like merit scholarships, etc. They are giving financial assistance like splitting up course fee to pay after the semester.
