      Strong focus on the academic excellence along with the circular activities. Timely assignments and projects to keep the intellect going. Educational trips were one of the most enlightening part of our education.

      College Infra

      Had a ball studing with the college. Amazing faculty, even better campus and infrastructure. Made me explore a whole new homely environment far away from home. The sanitary facilities were properly maintained.

      Campus Life

      I made friends for lifetime there. Spaces to chill, talk, complete projects, uhh, miss it. We have fests and fashion shows every year where it was our chance to shine and show what you got. It was a truly fun time.

      Placements

      Had a pre placement offer from quite a few renowned brands, couldn't asked for better kickstart of my professional life. The placement are centralised and open to all from the campuses all around the country.

      Value For Money

      A little expensive for the course, could be a lot cheaper. I feel been a government institution It could have been a lot cheaper especially since the selection is done solely on the basis of merit and thorough process.

The campus is 100% safe. The campus handles emergencies really well as its a govt. funded college.

      Placements

      The placement scenario on campus has been affected due to covid this time. Though one cannot expect lucrative packages in the domestic companies. It starts with min. 2lpa-4lpa and is further increased while you work in the industry. The companies even the renowned ones does not offer lucrative package. Students usually grab off-campus placements and are satisfied with the available company or they further keep on exploring opportunities. There isn't much support from the college wrt placements.

      Value For Money

      The course cost almost 300,000 (approx) excluding mess and hostel, as tution fees per year and keeps increasing with every new batch per year. The education we get with this is worth the amount as there are lots of machinery in ours labs even that needs to be maintained. Though the initial placement offers we get are not value for money and education. Even after spending about18 lakhs+ (Overall) we are given placements of Rs.15k-30k which doesn't seems justified with the level of edu. we get.
