Absolutely good but dissatisfied with placements, & they haven't conducted cultural events even once
Placements: Over 50% of students were placed. The highest package was 5.5 LPA and the lowest was 2.5 LPA. The top recruiting companies were TCS and Schneider Electric, but I don't know the specific roles for placements. No one was placed in top companies. I attended interviews, but the questions were too difficult; MNC interviews were particularly hard. If our curriculum improves, we should be able to place students in top-tier MNCs.
Infrastructure: Yes, we have Wi-Fi, a library, and lab facilities, but the Wi-Fi speed is not great. The library is excellent and air-conditioned. Our college has many labs in all departments. Unfortunately, the hostel food is not good; there have been times when ants and insects were found in the food. After we protested, the quality improved a bit.
Faculty: Our teachers are not very supportive but help a little during college life. We struggle with placements because our curriculum isn't geared towards industry needs, making it difficult. If you want to enjoy college life, this might be the place for you, but if you aim to build your career, you might want to reconsider.
Other: I love electrical engineering, which is why I chose this course. The curriculum needs to be changed. Our university offers scholarships, but they don't conduct cultural events, only some short activities.

Different dishes are available in the canteen every day. The hostel food has different varieties based on the days, with non-veg provided twice a week.
Faculty: All the teachers have completed a doctorate in their specific courses. By using staff guidelines, students can easily get placed and increase their knowledge. They teach very clearly and explain with scenario-based examples. They have teaching experience, so they know how to handle the students.

Poor Placements for Pharma. D.
Placements: Total 30 students per batch, not sure about the package because I still have one more year. But most of my seniors rarely got placements from our college for our particular course, only a few companies come for placement. Apollo is the only company I've heard of so far.
Infrastructure: Course, lab facilities are good but the hostel is the worst. I'm extremely dissatisfied with my stay at the hostel. As a student, I expected a comfortable and conducive environment to focus on my studies. Unfortunately, this hostel has fallen short of my expectations in every aspect. The rooms are cramped, with broken furniture and dirty linens. The bathrooms are poorly maintained, with leaky faucets and unhygienic conditions. The hostel's infrastructure is outdated, with frequent power outages and water supply issues.
Faculty: Teachers are well-qualified. The teaching at has exceeded my expectations. The professors are highly knowledgeable, enthusiastic, and dedicated to their students' success. They use innovative teaching methods, making complex concepts easy to understand. The faculty is approachable, and they provide individual attention to students. The teaching style is interactive, with regular discussions, quizzes, and assignments.
