- The faculty advisor is a very rude and strict person who doesn't understand the student's problems.
- Placements for lower branches are not that good and being a remote area more companies are not coming to college

Placement Experience:
There are campus placement and internship opportunity are coming in our campus.
There is a placement commitee in our college that takes care of this, In 3rd year we start applying for internship and from 4thyear there are campus placement. Almost 70-80% get placed there are others that opt for govt jobs and further education. I plan for a psu or government job after the degree is over.
