      Academics

      Academics is pretty good here and placements in circuital branches tell you the story. In terms of attendance and syllabus completion it is strict. Professors are supportive and their teaching is excellent enough to make anyone job ready who pays proper attention and puts the required effort.

      College Infra

      Infrastructure is above average .Classrooms have enough space and they have smartboards. Labs look good but it does not have every required equipment so sometimes assistants just escape by explaining the theory part.Campus is fairly big and hygienic .Hostel is good.

      Campus Life

      Campus life was not that great. Location and nearby attractions are very less also there are very few cultural fest barring Ashwamedha. There are other good technical fests and competition like Brahma . Sports activities engagement are average level.

      Placements

      Placements are good here at its level and placement team helps throughout the process i must mention. Companies like Tata Power Experion and Infosys visit for campus hiring. Median package for my Department came near 4.1LPA which is pretty good.

      Value For Money

      In terms of returns this college is excellent as as the fee is merely 25000 per year and if one manages to get a job one must be happy at the end.Those who do not get placed both on-campus and off-campus even they have no such burden of loan so ROI is pretty good.
