Placements & Internships : No batch has been out yet, but the IDP (Industry Defined Project) records for this year have been good. Students of the ECE branch may have faced issues in getting core companies, but for the Mechanical it has been good. But the real placement scenario can only be known and understood once placements happen.

Academics & Faculty : There is a stark difference between the senior and the junior faculties when it comes to being able to teach. The seniors are good and students respect them. But the trouble for students is when the junior (newer) teachers try to teach, but cannot connect at all. About 3 on 10 are senior professors, and the others relatively less experienced. The seniors have no rapport issues with the students, but students say some junior professors are bad natured. Some are even alleged to be picking on students against personal grudges they have. Now that’s bad! And some fail to complete the syllabus on time, before the semester end. But students say they manage the studies on their own anyway.

College Infrastructure & Hostel Facilities : SAL has a nice and big campus, with buildings spread out in blocks. Although it’s not huge, the campus does not appear to be crammed. Yet the classes are small and the design of the classes is such that it doesn’t prevent it from heating in the summers. The arrangement of the fans is such that it doesn’t help make the experience any better. To accommodate more students, classes have been divided into 2 parts with a partition in between, which means the switch for the fans in one section is located in the other section. So you can imagine the inconvenience students have to face. Basically, it gets unbearably hot at times. Labs have separate blocks/sheds allotted for them. Yet not all the labs were equipped till until recently, equipment has started coming in. A few batches were still completely unexposed to the practical part of it, due to unavailability of this equipment. Library is big, spacious and moderately resourceful. Students say local author books, that they need during exams are not available, and even the reference textbooks are limited in number, which gets issued before the exams. The faculties itself issues a lot of copies, and keep them through the semester, just making it difficult for students to avail the books.
