Good placements, infrastructure, and facilities, but some teachers could do a bit better in 2025.

Infrastructure: The infrastructure for my course, Electronics and Computer Engineering, is state-of-the-art, with multiple labs for each subject, each having top-notch and well-maintained equipment. Computer labs have the latest generation processors, which are more than capable. Hostel facilities are amazing, providing housing for thousands of students.

Good College with Good Infrastructure but Has a Very Good Placement Team.

Infrastructure: The facilities and infrastructure are excellent, but the hostel for boys and girls is very weird. They can't use electronic devices in the hostel, like electric kettles and irons, which are not allowed inside. Students can't get pre-cooked food inside the hostel. Anyone who orders any items from e-commerce has to go to the main entrance gate to collect their items.

Good social community but highly crowded nature.

Infrastructure: All the labs are equipped with high-speed internet facilities, and there are a lot of lab components for important core subjects. Classrooms consist of 4 boards, two blackboards, and two for marker usage. There is one projector per classroom with dual speakers installed around the corners. Facilities inside the hostel include two cupboards, one bunker bed space, and a chair. The quality of food goes up with the pay scale, and for the lowest mess option available, the quality is decent.

Classrooms are well-equipped with smart boards. The library has the best environment for studying and focusing on daily goals. The hostel facilities are good.

Infrastructure: The academic blocks are great. Our classrooms are average with just a table and a projector. There is nothing else to make it more interactive. Our labs are great with all those facilities and supercomputers. It becomes easier to work there and interesting to learn in labs. The library functions till 12 AM. It has 7 floors and is filled with books. All necessary books can be found there. I am disappointed with the hostel. For the fee we pay, they give us a bed, a table, and a cupboard. The fee i...

It is all false advertising.

Infrastructure: The facilities and the infrastructure are outdated, and the new ones are yet to be completed. Many of the classrooms where we'll attend classes have no air conditioning, which in the Chennai weather is not bearable. The library is good, but it isn't sufficient for the number of students on this campus. The hostel Wi-Fi isn't good either; the maximum Wi-Fi speed I got was 5 Mbps, and they turn off the Wi-Fi at 12 AM even during exam hours.
