Our college is the best in terms of placements and infrastructure.

Placements: In our college, we have a placement cell. The criteria to sit in campus placement is to maintain more than a 7.5 CGPA with no current backlog. Placements are quite good compared to other college placements. In 2023, the highest salary package offered is 19 LPA. The lowest salary package offered is 8 LPA.

It has a capacity of 1,000 plus students at a time to sit and attend guest lectures. The hostel life is also more or less good. I stayed in the hostel. It is quite good, but it is also strict.

Faculty: Faculty members are very good and highly educated. If you have any problem, they guide you and solve your problems. In our university, for each subject, there are one or two faculty members. At first, it may seem that they are quite strict but it's genuinely for our own good. Faculty here tend to provide you with a lot of recourses and you will be getting extra classes for all lectures they teach. For exams, the passing rate is 70%. Exams are difficult sometimes.
