The experience was okay with the college.

College Infrastructure

The college is in chennai and most of the classes doesn’t have Ac and it is way to hot to work or to sit in class because of the temperature. The students are paying alot of fees but still people do not get their individual machines and equipments. A student still try to manage things out but still it’s alot of struggle and waste of time as 2 or sometimes 6 people are there to work on the same machine. The wifi doesn’t works nicely and they boys hostel is disgusting. The food they provide is bad

Good
