College Infrastructure

Infrastructure is average in terms of looks. They have well maintained environment, with lots of greenery which brings a good feel. Campus is well spaced. The college provides all the necessary equipments,facilities. They also have a stationary store in campus. The classrooms are huge, well maintained. There are smart TVs installed in almost 50% of the classes. They have great library and departmental libraries, reading hall with good ambience. Hostels are well maintained and food is hygenic.

Academics

I am studying BTech in CS, because I m keenly interested in it. The quality they teach is good, with full dedication,efforts. Faculties are highly experienced. Currently the college is autonomous, with more updated system and plans and curriculum. They have developed way of teaching, the syllabus is updated. I think whatever knowledge I have possessed and that I am going to acquire will be making me job ready.

Placements

The college has good placement rate. They train the students with soft skills and technical trainings for being job ready. Around 60-70% students get placed from circuit branches. Highest package I know was about 10 LPA of IT branch. The college is supportive throughout the placement process.

Value-for-money

My course is BTech in CS and it costs 90k per year. I think I am getting my money's worth, because the quality and teaching for what I am looking is fulfilled, along with cocurricular activities and facilities.

Campus Life

The campus is not that huge, but well spaced. Best feature of it is that it's green. Worst feature is that they need to update, but they haven't. Students can engage in different memberships,clubs,organisations,etc . The teachers are supportive and understanding, always there to help and explorable. The college lies in gokul shigaon, little outside the city, but it can manage emergencies.

Anything Else

Many people don't know about the college because of less marketing. But I would suggest it as the best college in the city, kolhapur region. Getting an education that you wanted and getting in a college with good quality, that too around your city, is what every student looks for. I hope my review is helpful.

The college lies next to a historic city of Kolhapur. Amazing infrastructure and wide spread campus. The faculty is industry experienced across all the branches. The climate well suited to encourage immense learning, challenging crowd. The college tries its best to stand out in the competition. Placements are greatly recognised companies visit the campus. You can enjoy the weekends as the city is just 20 min away from the college.
