Absolutely satisfied with the college infrastructure, & also placements are excellent.
Placements: I am a 2027 batch student. Placement rate is 90 percent. The highest salary package offered is 8 LPA in a top recruiting company, Cloud Ambassador. The average package offered is 4.4 LPA. The lowest package offered in my course is 3 LPA. The top recruiting companies include Cloud Ambassador, EY, Infinite Computer Solutions, Zoho, Kaar Technologies, Avasoft, Wipro, IBM, Amazon, and Quint. About 40 percent of students have internships. The top roles offered in my course are Cloud Engineer and Architect Trainee.
Infrastructure: Hostel has a green environment, wide range of gym facilities, 24-hour RO water, and a clean, neat environment for students. Food quality is very good, along with a wide variety of menu items. It includes vegetarian, non-vegetarian, and egg-based dishes. Canteen offers a wide variety of food. Sports students have special practice in the hostel. A 24-hour medical emergency facilities are available. Overall, the hostel offers high-quality food and a hygienic environment.
Faculty: Teachers at my college are very helpful. They are well-qualified teachers. The teaching quality includes deeper concept clarification, in-depth doubt clarification, and focused teaching. The course is very relevant towards industry requirements, and also, teachers bridge the gap between students and the corporate world. The difficulty of the semester exams is moderate, and the pass percentage of last year was 80%. We have really friendly, knowledgeable teachers whom all students need.

It is a very good college and very nice.
Placements: Placement training is given for aptitude, soft skills and technical. The maximum package is 10 LPA, and the minimum is 2 LPA. Companies that come for the drives are OneEye, Hexaware, and so on. The top roles offered are software engineers and data analysts.
Infrastructure: They have a very clean campus, and it is very peaceful. Classrooms consist of a smart TV for teaching. Labs are well-equipped and have enough systems for all students. They have a sports ground for both indoor and outdoor games. They really encourage sportsmanship.

Offered by R.M.K. Engineering College

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.

The college is good. It is worth joining here.
Placements: Students capable of the placements are placed. Top recruiting companies are One-Eye and more. I have done internships in Thozil and other companies. The college helps us to do internships. We did a lot of internships and got our certificates.
Infrastructure: Lab facilities in my department are nice. I have the ability to learn all the things in my lab.
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.
Other: Events and cultural activities are held here for students' happiness. The college never disappoints us in our happiness.

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.
