Remarks

The admission process was online, you have to suit your documents via a TN state government website, TNGSA, from there your details will be provided to the college and then College will contact you for further process.

Course Curriculum Overview

2.5

I choose this college because of its NIRF Ranking, but trust me it's not worth it. The college infrastructure is very old. They don't provide proper classrooms and tutors are not very good. Some are good some aren't. Internal exams are easy and are conducted in the same classroom but sem end is conducted properly.

Class Size: 40Course Fees: INR 1800 per year

Fees and Financial Aid

Fee is very low as it is a government college, and you get a scholarship as well, NSP. Which is 10000 per year and fee is around 2k per for first year and second and third it's around 500. Hostel is also very cheap.

Campus Life

2.5

Campus Life is very good if you're a tamilians or you know Tamil. Other than that for a north Indian, it's not very good, you'll have many problems communicating with classmates and other staff, nobody really knows Hindi here

Hostel Facilities

The room is decent with three or four sharing, they provide can water and food is proper south Indian, sometimes good sometimes decent. But you get a good experience in a hostel. As it is very affordable and neat. Washrooms are common in the floor and the mess bill is around 2.5k per month.

Hostel Fee: INR 17000 per year

The main thing I liked in this college is the level of placements.there is more placements compared to the other colleges.
Some of the staffs are knowledgeable and provide good information apart from syllabus for knowledge
Best for girl students studying and their safety

Dislikes

The campus isn't that good evening though the college has many space and the only thing they focus on is study.
The parking facility is very bad doesn't have enough space to park the vehicle freely and is not even a evenly concerted place just a sandy place with trees and rocks and for that we need to pay 4 rupees daily which is not worthy at all.
The canteen doesn't have any snacks worst

Placement Experience:

From semester 4 they train students for placement and they train all the students without any discrimination many companies come for placement.my plan after getting degree is to work in abroad and after learning start my own business

Dislikes

Didn't provide placement offers
Internship opportunities not available
Didn't Well conduct programs

Course Curriculum Overview:

I'm mostly interested in mathematics so I choose it. The faculty is average but it is safe for girls so the student ratio will increase. The teachers are well-trained and the teaching method is like spoon-feeding. There are 6 semesters per year to conduct 2 semesters of exams. Mathematics contains five subject papers. There is no difficulty to pass it's too easy.
