The universe location wild peaceful is far from major cities. making travel inconvenient. limited transport option can be a drawback.
The campus follows a strict discipline policy, and some students feel restricted due to early curfews in hostel. Social and extracurricular events are limited as compared to urban universities.

My brief review about my college

Likes

Campus, lab infrastructure, Library, Auditorium
Teaching quality is good, teachers are well qualified and caring, there's not much burden on the students.
Examination system is also quite good and fair.

Dislikes

Placements could be improved, environment of technology studies should be encouraged
The crowd is not that great, i think something should be done about this.
Administration should be made better and some lab assistants too need to be changed.

Placement Experience:

There are good companies visiting our college and some PSU too like BEL. almost all the cse students get placed, good companies for cse/ece come in the college though the pay is <15lpa. I will be looking for a job after my degree L&T, Infosys, Capegemini, accenture, TCS.. and refer to college site for more names.
