Perfect college for introverts, and the college is trying hard to give the best results.
Placements: About 80% of students in our course secured placements. The highest salary package offered is 55 LPA, and the lowest salary package offered is 3.5 LPA. Top recruiters include TCS, Infosys, and Wipro. Software engineering roles are mostly offered to students, though only about 20% of students receive placement offers.
Infrastructure: The college provides a great environment with excellent and well-maintained facilities. The library stands out for its quality, but accessibility is somewhat limited. However, sports and extracurricular activities are not given much priority or encouragement, which is a drawback.
Faculty: The teaching quality of faculty members is good not the best but better than many colleges. I think still they need to be improved. These courses are not up to the mark for industry-ready and need to be improved . Semester exams are moderate and have some pressure at the end.
Other: Choosing a CSE course is common for everyone. I think the environment for CSE students is good so I thought of choosing it. Our college should make the course more industry-ready and update the syllabus to the latest technologies, which makes it better. Events are not so good they are okay type.

They will clean every day. The quality of the food is also good. It also has a playground, gym, indoor games, etc.

Review of Chirala Engineering College.
Placements: 1. About 200 people in this college chose the ECE group. 2. No placements happened. 3. This college only brings small, internship-offering companies. 4. No MNC companies visits the campus. 5. It is hard to get a job on campus after graduation. 6. It is better to try for jobs off-campus.
Infrastructure: 1. The college is very big and has good grounds. Nice classrooms, Wi-Fi, and a library are there. 2. A digital library is also there but the books used on campus are very old. 4. The canteen is big but food is average. Limited items will be there. 5. There are different canteens and hostels there for management people and government reservation people separately.
Faculty: Most of the faculty are M.Tech or B.Tech passed out students with minimal knowledge. They come to class, they give materials and pdfs which are downloaded from Google. We need to understand the subject and if we understand it is very easy to pass in the exams .
