Recommends this college
College is average to be precise. It provides ample opportunities to interact with the students of IIT Jammu though. The location of the college is in a very remote area which makes it very difficult for the transportation. There is no timing for the local transportation which is the only way to reach the nearest highway. Sometimes it can take up to 2 hours just waiting for the local matadoors. This makes it very difficult for the students to do up down from university.

Campus Facilities: The facilities provided by the university mainly includes Hostel, Mess, Grocery store and others like sports complex. There are a total of 9 hostels out of which 6 are of boys and 3 are of girls. Each hostel have their separate mess facilities. Hostel rooms are of average quality. Mess food is the worst and is not at all eatable and every time that you try to complain they just assure you that next time it will be better but it never is. There is only one grocery store inside the campus with very high rates to be precise so you mostly have to go outside to buy your essentials. There is a huge sports complex where you can play any sports of your liking.
Campus Life: There are multiple fests held in the university like the The annual sports fest Sarang, Resurgence which is managed by the language and linguistics department, Tatva which is managed by the management students, Titiksha which is managed by engineering students, etc. Apart from this a lot of other sports competitions are arranged like Inter house, Inter department and friendlies with IIT Jammu. Students excelling in these can be selected to perform in the ALL India University competitions.
Faculty: Faculty is mostly pathetic. Most of them do not even have the hold of their subjects also. Only two or three professors are the one who teaches and knows how to teach. Most of the professors have done their PHDs from the university this only while a few have come here after graduating from NITs or IITs. Their teaching method mostly includes sharing a presentation from their laptops to the board through projectors and just reading them out loud. Which they even share to us in the name of Notes. Apart from this they do not show any kind of interest in teaching. On the other hand lab assistants are all very great and teach their parts of the lab in a very understandable way. They are all very helpful and are willing to clear any doubts regarding their part.
Placements: There is not much about Internships but I can tell you about the placements scenario. There is one training and placement cell in our university which ensures that most of the students gets placed. Around 60 percent of students gets placed every year from every batch. While others opt to go for higher studies. In core only few companies come though. Last time Maruti Suzuki came offering a package of 12.5 lakhs per annum while they offered to take only 3 students. Another company that came last time was Forbes Marshall a boiler making company. which offered a package of 7.5 lakhs per annum. Apart from these mass recruiters come who take students at a package of 3 to 4 lakhs per annum.
Salary Package: 4 - 6 Lakhs
Start Up Incubator: There is a Technical business incubation center known as TBIC situated in our college which has been known to have funded some of the few startups that originated from our college. Although I am not very sure if it is still functional anymore.
