I would recommend everyone to join this university for both education and good placements.

Placements: It is distance learning, so they were hardly connected with other students, but the campus is good. They offered big companies. They will train us on how to attend campus interviews.

Faculty: Teachers are knowledgeable. They help you a lot with all the subjects, including the project work. The course is relevant to all the subjects. It will help students work in all industries. Semester exams are a little difficult, but you have to attend both the online exam and the assignment.

The college is not as good as expected.

Placements: Approximately 30% of students got placed in reputed companies. Most of the students choose the IT course. There was also an option for specialisation courses. So, students can go for many courses under the same roof. The fee payment mode is very flexible.

Infrastructure: Labs, classrooms and Wi-Fi are very good. The faculty members are polite, but there is an issue about the space on campus for students to enjoy during lunch break. Everything is good and in proper condition. Food is average as expected.

Faculty: There are two modes of exams, online and offline modes, such as OMR sheet and descriptive. Teachers are really helpful, well educated and polite. The campus is student-friendly, and the exam center is better than expected.

I am satisfied with the college, but they should upgrade placement opportunities.

Placements: The placement cell of the college is not doing very well. The average salary package provided by the university is 7 LPA for MBA students. Not every student gets placed in this institute. They don't invite various companies. Moreover, they invite limited companies, and they recruit only 2-3 students.

Infrastructure: The college has a good infrastructure. Their outdoors and interiors are well furnished, and they are maintained regularly. Computer labs are well-equipped with computers, and they also have a Wi-Fi facility. All the classrooms have 2 air-conditioners and well- furnished chairs and tables.

Faculty: Faculty members here are average. They only provide the book knowledge. They should provide other information which is required by the students for their future. Their teaching method is also not good. They take the classes only 20 minutes. Students don't get industry exposure.
