    Academics

    I am pursuing electrical engineering, as I am a fresher I don't have much knowledge about academics as first year is completely unrelated to our respective core subjects, But few courses are of half sem courses due to which we are facing a bit burden.

    College Infra

    college is under construction . Hence, we are not having a good infrastructure . And coming to food and hygienie , Food is improving day by day as far as hygiene is considered we are facing some issues.

    Placements

    Regarding placements , now it is equal to the placements of few private colleges, but placements are also not so good, But as it is a new campus it takes time ,Hope placements get better. And I think they increase with time.
