      Academics

      Studied B.Tech Marine Engineering 4 year course. Should not even think of taking admission in this college as the quality of teaching is worst. Most of the teachers don't know what they are teaching.

      College Infra

      No infrastructure, No books provided on time. Living conditions of the hostel are terrible. No wifi provided. Labs don't have proper equipments. Nothing is maintained as per good standards. Pathetic.

      Campus Life

      Nothing to do.

      Placements

      Very less chance of placement. Usually no company comes here for placement as they all know the quality of education provided here. This is really aad considering its the government college governing all other colleges as its the headquarters.

      Value For Money

      Definitely not.
