    Dissatisfied with the higher officials and facilities for low placements.
    Placements: There is a 1-year internship in the course. But the placements are a little low because the course is new and started 4 years ago. There are seats that should be given to eligible students but jobs are given to low-grade workers in order to give them a low salary and keep the government fund for themselves.
    Infrastructure: There are very well developed classrooms and auditoriums for classes and conferences . Practical exposure is very high. The price of mess is very reasonable . Medical facilities are provided to each and every student . There is special relief in medicines for the students.
    Faculty: Very experienced professors are available for teaching and are very helpful . Semester exams are of good level . The quality of teaching is top notch and one of the best all over the country. The administrative officials are very strict in order to make the students work hard .
    Other: Placement of this course is a little low and colleges should work on it and give more importance to students well-being.
