Good experience, I got good friends and inspiring teachers.

Our college is good in the private college sector.
Placements: When I was studying at this college, there were no master’s courses available, such as MBA or MCA, so I did not receive any placements. I believe that in the future, placements will be offered by the college. No company is currently offering jobs, but I think it should develop in the next 2 to 3 years.
Infrastructure: Our college has many classrooms, and each department has labs available. There are usually sufficient practical projects for students to work on. Wi-Fi is also available in our college, and there are two smart classrooms. The canteen provides food that is very tasty.
Faculty: Our principal is kind-hearted and a simple man. His behavior is very good and friendly, and his goal is always to develop the college. Our department faculty is also good, with 3 to 4 lecturers present in each department. All are very friendly, but 2 to 3 staff members do not have good behavior, so be careful about that.
Other: In conclusion, if you are interested in studying at this college, I recommend you visit and see it for yourself before deciding.

Some courses are self-financed, and of course, depending on what you choose.
Placements: Offers some internships but not paid, these unpaid. Companies like TCS and Wipro provide internships. Only 10% of students get placed, and others are doing their masters. Packages are not set yet because it’s a government collaboration and autonomous. But you joined the course with an app developer and software developer.
Infrastructure: Lots of activity in a year; you have to participate at least 3/4 months to get an opportunity to participate in some activities. Labs are good, Wi-Fi is also good, and speed in our branch PCs are the latest generation we get. The lab maintenance is good.
Faculty: Faculty are very friendly and well-disciplined and show good direction to grow up. In this course, you have to attend 4 seminars and 1 project work properly. Exams are very good in timing and schedule, and the course is also completed before the semester. I got 72.80% with distinction passed.
Other:
I chose it because I have an interest in coding and networking. It's good if you properly complete with discipline. I think the placement cell can improve. Scholarships are provided. The campus is hygienic, and the campus is crowded. You attend 2/3 fests during the course period.
