A: 

That depends on what you mean by "Directly" I suppose that you mean without JEE/ NEET, and if thats so, then yes you surely can based upon your 12th percentage. But its highly recommendable that you appear for JEE/NEET as it opens doors for other Nationally Recognized colleges like NITs and GFTIs and if you have already given and not getting any college than yes you can surely gain an admission by 12th percentage basis  in this college.

College serves great education!
Placements: Placement is very good at our college. A lot of companies, such as Amazon, Microsoft, JP Morgan, Adobe, Airbnb, Axis Bank and many more, arrived at our institute and provided various job roles and opportunities to each of us. Almost 80% of the students got placed in my batch with a good salary package. The highest salary package that one got was around 30 lacs per annum and the average salary package was around 8 lacs per annum.
Infrastructure: Fests and events are conducted by the college every year. My life on campus was very amazing. The campus is not so big but it is very beautiful.

Overall, everything is very good at this college.

Peaceful college atmosphere.
Placements: From 3 or 6-7 semesters, students are eligible for the placements. Many companies (60–70+) visit the campus every year, and 500+ offers are made for students. The highest package in my knowledge is INR 46 LPA, and the average package is INR 6.5–7.5 LPA. Approximately 80%–85% of students are placed off campus. I'm also looking for a secure job after getting my degree.
Infrastructure: Hostels will be spacious, with 4 beds in one room, separate cupboards, AC, separate study tables, and common washrooms (6 bathing rooms and 6 toilets) shared by 5 room students. The meals are very hygienic and tasty, with weekly, twice-non-vegetarian meals. You had already registered on the date of joining. Prefer fast joining for better rooms. I will prefer your college hostel for safety, and it is worth staying in compared to PG hostels. Hostel Fee: INR 60000 per year.
Faculty: MCA is a very rewarding choice in terms of placement, and after landing at this college, there will be a lot of opportunities as many good companies visit campus. The faculty-to-student ratio is 1:12. Every teacher has excellent teaching skills and has also published many research papers. Exams are not cake walks. You need to put effort into getting good grades in exams. Exams took place on time. Class size;-45 The course costs INR 75,000 per year.
