Teaching quality is not good. They provide placements for the students.
Placements: We did get many opportunities because it was pandemic. While we are passing now, they are providing some compensation for placement. They're also providing some placement training for students. The students of the entire college do not get placements from single companies.
Infrastructure: We had a playground in our hostel, and we also tried hostel facilities. Boys hostels are not very good. There is no gym or medical service in the hostel. The campus has a good library, which has all the books available for semester exams. Mess food and snacks are not good.
Faculty: Teaching is not good. They are not well qualified. They don't have any practical knowledge. Most of the teachers have a friendly manner. But I enjoyed it with my wonderful friends. It was a great experience. The time I spent at SSM College of Engineering was very good.
