Recently, Wi-Fi service started in the campus. The computer labs have separate PCs allocated for every student. Library is in the campus having a bunch of books which need to be renewed after 15 days. Hostel is available in the campus having facilities like laundry, food, water, chair, bed, fan, and blankets by the hostel. 24*7 security is provided in the hostel. First aid kits are provided every where for medical conditions.
Faculty: The teachers are very helpful, Ph.D. and PGDM qualified from reputed NITs. Their teaching quality is good, they clear our concepts rather than only focusing on theory. The other college staff is very rude, if any query is found in applications, their behaviour is very arrogant. The course is good having demanding concepts. The professors give projects and presentations. Mid sem exams and class tests are easy but term end exams are hard, they need proper preparation.
Other: Events held are Pongal and cultural night. Campus crowd includes different people from all over Tamil Nadu.
