Infrastructure is good with nice classrooms and a library. Lab facilities require improvement, though. There is Wi-Fi facility, but it is unpredictable at times. Other basic amenities such as the canteen and the sitting area are satisfactory.
Curriculum is well-structured, and staff members pay heed towards skill development and advancement. Industry exposure is minimal but the university does its best by arranging guest speakers. Some courses appear old-fashioned, but lecturers try to cover the gap through their presentations.
The placements are of mid-level, and mid-level firms visit the campus. All the students have placements in sales, finance, or beginning managerial roles. The package is different and high-paying ones are not very common. Internships exist but efforts have to be made.
The course fee is affordable, but the ROI is questionable due to median placements. Students who need to acquire hands-on experience are supported by the institute, but external certification is necessary if one wants to stand out.
A decent student body with decent event and management fest attendance. There are extracurriculars and clubs but not a very vibrant set. The peer group is nice, but industry exposure through networking is limited.
