Placements & Internships : The alumni mostly go for studies abroad. Most of the students coming to the college are interested in further studies. The college does provide internship depending from case to case and stipend is also good around 5k-20k per month. Some product company such as Adobe and directly visit the college with a salary of 10lpa minimum. Also, smaller product and services company such as bazooka, fusion chart, nri fintech and soft kink visit the college with a package of INR 4-6 lac. Then the usual company such as Infosys, CTS, TCS follow with a package of INR 3.36 or 6.5 lac. Almost all the batch get placed. The alumni network is there but not so much in touch with the current batch.

Entrance Exams & Admissions : The entrance exam accepted are Wbjee, IemJee and also jee(mains). The college also rakes admission through management quota. The eligibility criteria vary from year to year but the person must have a minimum of 60 in PCM. The cutoff for WBJEE is around 5000 rank through which I got into IEM.

Fees & Scholarships : The course fee per year is INR 80000. There is a scholarship available for bright students and girl students. Also, loans can be availed from the bank. Mostly all the student who applies to getting a scholarship or a tuition fee waiver. The loans available are enough to cover the tuition fee and is provided by SBI and PNB.

Academics & Faculty : The class timings are from 9 am to 4 pm five days a week Tuesday to Saturday. The project is mediocre in nature but can teach one a lot of done earnestly. There are 2 mid tests and final semester exams. The assignment is given daily but not evaluated on a strict basis. Some teachers are excellent with an excellent grasp of the subject while some are not. The teaching is mostly book based and lecture-oriented and not very interactive in nature. The overall experience is average and there is a quite of scope for improvement

College Infrastructure & Hostel Facilities : The college hostel is not up to the mark as the lodging and food provided is not nice. Generally, students prefer PG or flat instead of living in a hostel. The rent varies around from 1000-5000. The food provided in the canteen is good compared to the locality. Mostly it is fast food and pinches the pocket quite less. The quality of the classroom and the labs are not up to the mark. They give a feeling of the early 2000s or late 1990s. The library is of the state of the art which is 24 hours open and have a got a huge collection of books. There is no dining hall. The college has modern fire fighting equipment and the wifi is provided by jio. All the computer have Linux on them and also have a strong LAN connection.

Clubs & Associations : College life is similar to school. There are lots of rules and there is an aura of decorum and discipline. We have morning prayer, to begin with, and bunking college is quite tough after making into the college premise. The atmosphere in the classroom is fun. There are two fests cultural and technical organized by the college and are quite a hit in this region. There is only a club known as the e-cell or the entrepreneurial cell which is very active and organizes a lot of events and have a lab sponsored by the government of India.
