Overall it was fine but not what I expected from this college.

Placements: They have been promising us to provide 100 % placements since the beginning but the package is very low. Top recruiting companies are not so known. Only 10 from 100 students do get good placements. And not so many global opportunities are being provided.

Infrastructure: The campus is good and nicely built. The food is also very hygienic and clean. Moreover the Wi-Fi never works properly and the classes are fine and digital. The ambiance is also good and clean in some schools for example the school of liberal studies and media cluster.

Faculty: The faculty members are very less knowledgeable about what they are teaching and not very supportive towards the students. They just only know how to give minimum grades to the students. But I will also mention about the teachers I am grateful for who actually works.
