Value for money! Definitely go for this college.
Placements: Placement rate is really low according to the number of students are there. Most of the students get job as a customer service representative in various companies in Gurugram and the placement SOL provides is in HSBC financial service as calling executive.
Infrastructure: Infrastructure is okayish. There is sometimes water to drink and sometimes you have to atand there thirty. There is no proper place to stand in line in shade. We have to stand and sweat but canteen is really good. There are allot of options you can opt for.
Faculty: Curriculum is good. You get to learn a lot by the course. Semesters are pretty easy. You can pass the exam just by studying a night before the exam. Course is easy yet knowledgeable. It does makes the student industry ready. You can get into content writing and all after studying B.A. eng hons.
