      Academics

      The faculty members were very helpful, qualified and knowledgeable. Blackboard teaching as well as smart teaching used. 60:1 is the approximate student to faculty ratio. We have had industrial visits and industrial trainings too where we had a proper industrial exposure and we got to visualise how an industry is like.

      College Infra

      We have a full WiFi campus and smart classrooms. We have a central library and department wise libraries as well. Labs are excellent using the best quality instruments and devices. Canteen food isn't that great though but who cares, we have nearby restaurants. Hostels are great. Rooms are big enough for 4 persons.

      Placements

      Placements were pretty much active in my college. Close to 170 students have got placed till now. A lot of IT companies and a few core companies did visit. But not all students have got placed. We need to work on more on that area. And try to enhance the number of placements by inviting more and more IT as well as core companies and arrange placement training for the students.

      Academics

      Well-educated and experienced faculty members are available. Their experience helps us to make a good basement. Frequently help us to get an industrial application kind of study. The college adopts the courses under KTU. The college also provides many electives.

      College Infra

      First of all the college is accredited by NAAC. The college provides students with lab facilities, library, medical etc. The Wi-Fi facility is literally available. The hostels are outside the campus but still near to the college. The food provided in the canteen is healthy and tasty.

      Placements

      Core placements are less when compared to other branches of the college. But still BPCL, TTP, lipid plants came last year for placements. Among 64 students 5 people get placed in core companies and rest 52 people get placed in various companies that came to college. The highest salary offered by TTP was 70 k. We have to find our industry or whatever sector that we want to intern at. The department help us to get in contact with the company.
