The average yearly package is around Rs 3.3 lakhs, although there are higher packages offered by some companies who hire fewer and more competent graduates.

The college has good and experienced faculty who teach well and are ready to help with any student difficulties. The campus is huge and spreads over 5 acres. The college infrastructure is pretty average. The library has an excellent collection of books, magazines, and technical journals. Expect a lot of assignments and projects, just as you would in any other engineering institute, with short deadlines. The industry placement programme and placement record of the college is commendable. There are many technical and extra curricular student clubs you can join in the college. The college has a basketball court, volleyball court and a badminton court. The new building under construction is equipped with a gym and has facilites for indoor games like table tennis and carrom. A lot of industrial visits and technical seminars/workshops are organized by the student bodies throughout the year.

Yearly fees are around Rupees 85000. The college offers post graduate degress as well as Doctorate degrees in Computer Science and Electronics and Telecommunication Engineering. The fees can go well above Rupees Rs 1 lakh a year. The college does not offer any scholarships to the students but students can apply for scholarships offered by the government or other private foundations via the college. In case loans are needed, interest free loans are available from various banks as well as they can be taken from Catholic Syrian Bank just outside the college.

College Infrastructure & Hostel Facilities : There is a hostel for students within the college campus. The college canteen is pretty average and provides meals at affordable rates. Not a big variety of food to choose from at the canteen. The classrooms are spacious and equipped with LCD projectors. The labs are air conditioned. The college currently does not have a wi-fi network that is accessible by students within the campus.

Clubs & Associations : The college has many student societies like CSI(Computer Society of India), Entrepreunership Cell, NSS Unit, Robotics Student Body, ISTE affiliation, IEEE AND IETE associaton to name a few. The college cultural festival IRIS is celebrated in February every year with enthusiasm and has various sports competitions. The college also has a technical festival MOSAIC which has technical competitions with cash prizes. Life in the college can get pretty mundane and boring on normal days.
