The environment that the college was built in, it was very peaceful with a great view of mountains.

No extracurricular activities, no sports, no entertainment, no industry visits.
No proper lectures, lectures were qualified just in degrees, no real talent for teaching
The college was more like a factory outputting unqualified students.

Placement Experience:

From 7th semester students are eligible for placements. Wipro, infosys, Hcl, TCS, Robosoft. The highest package was 7LPA(TCS), the average was around 4LPA. 35 TO 40 out of 100 students got placed. I wanted to build a startup so I didn't go through placements.
