This college is well-suited for those who only do two things study and eat.
Placements: I'm currently in 3rd year of my UG in B.Tech IT, according to my department super seniors who were passed out in the year 2025. The percentage of graduates who got placed in campus selection was about 60% with an average package of 4 LPA. The highest package of the academic year 2025 is about 12 LPA and the lowest package of 3 LPA the graduates placed. The top recruiting companies are Infosys and Virtusa. The percentage of internships is about 30% provided by some new kickstart companies. Top roles offered by our course are full stack engineer, support engineer, product developer, etc.
Infrastructure: The whole infrastructure of my course and hostel is not as good compared with other colleges. The whole infrastructure of the college is about 28 years old. It gives you a feeling of amateurness. The Wi-Fi will be provided for the whole college 24/7. But in the case of power off they don't have any backup. The labs are well-maintained but you will rarely get a chance to use the labs. The infrastructure of classes is pretty average more like an old room, with a digital board. I hardly remember spending time in the library in case you need your department's permission to use the library.
Faculty: Faculty members are pretty experienced and friendly too. You can easily get along with them. 60% of the course curriculum is set by Anna University and the rest 40% is provided by respective partner companies. The exams like unit tests and internals are held very often. The more interested you are the more chance that you will get a good opportunity. The semester exams are a little difficult because the question paper is set by Anna University members. The pass percentage is about 92% of our course.
Other: I chose this course based on my own interests. The best thing about this course is that you can understand how software engineering works. This college is very bad if you are expecting for good campus life. There are no fests, no events, and nothing at all. All you need to do is study and write exams. 80% of the crowd in the college is amateurs they don't know how the outer world is. There are certain rules that must be followed by the students. Men should not talk with women. No phones are allowed inside the campus. No extracurricular activities are conducted.

It is simply nice and excellent.
Placements: Placements aren't perfect. There are a few delays and some confusion here and there. But overall, it turns out fine. A good number of students got placed, so in the end it worked out okay. A maximum 10 LPA and minimum 2 LPA package is offered. Placements are not that bad.
Infrastructure: We have labs for everything and everyone, and with high-speed Wi-Fi. We have a library. They support sports, and they have grounds and courts for all the games for both indoor and outdoor activities. Classrooms consist of fans and smart TVs for teaching.
Faculty: Teachers are well-versed, experienced and very friendly. They are focused on their portions and help students learn. They try to make everyone understand and pass the exams. Teachers care for students equally. Overall, very nice and good.

Faculty: Teachers are very knowledgeable, very talented and experienced. So we are never disappointed with them. They understand us very well, so that we can study without any discomfort. They care for us like we are their children. They train us so well that we never get behind much. We have such soft and patient staff in our department. They insist on doing the lab experiments by ourselves, so that we can do them in a flow.

There is less scope.
Placements: About 40% of students have been placed each year. The highest package is up to 6 LPA, and the lowest is 2 LPA. Top roles are AI&this and ECE. Top recruiting companies are HCL, Zoho, Wipro, Ramco Systems, etc. Around 50 students get an internship from AI&this department. Top roles are offered at the very beginning level only.
Infrastructure: They provide internet access in labs. But there is no internet connection in hostels, which is so bad for this generation. The infrastructure of the hostels is good, but not many facilities are available here because it is located in a forest region.
Faculty: When you enter the first year, everything seems to be difficult. Teachers are qualified but not very helpful. Self learning is very important in this college. This course curriculum is not 100% relevant, but 70% is relevant. The entire syllabus can be learned in one night if you're capable, which is enough to pass.
Other: I chose this course because of the demand.
