      Academics

      Academics here are good overall. Professors explain concepts clearly, though some are strict with deadlines. Syllabus is updated but can be a bit heavy at times. Labs and practical sessions are helpful. Extra classes are available for tough topics. Overall, learning is solid, but you need to stay consistent to keep up with coursework

      College Infra

      The campus is okay, nothing too fancy. Classrooms are clean and have fans and projectors. Labs are fine for practicals, and the library has enough books for most subjects. Wi-Fi works but can be slow sometimes. Some areas like washrooms and benches need maintenance. Overall, good for daily college life.

      Campus Life

      Campus life is pretty normal. You can make friends easily, and most people are friendly. Common areas and lawns are good for chilling or group studies. Cafeteria is decent, snacks are okay. There’s always something happening, like small events or sports, but nothing too crowded. Overall, it’s comfortable, not too hectic, and not boring either.

      Placements

      "Placement support is decent but not excellent. College arranges drives and some training sessions. The rest depends on your own skills and preparation. Students who work hard usually get decent offers, others may struggle."

      Value For Money

      College is good for the cost you pay. Labs and classrooms are clean, Wi-Fi works sometimes. Teachers try to help but some subjects are boring. Mess food is okay, hostel is decent. Placements are fine, not big companies. Overall, if you want decent education without spending too much, this college is okay."
