Recommends this college
The overall experience is quite good. I have chosen this college because of good faculty in electrical engineering department as suggested by some of the seniors from my college. I was interested in electrical engineering and the review from some of the seniors are quite satisfying . College gives good amount of freedom for students to explore in all the areas. But there will be also academic pressure. The exams will be tough and papers are strictly evaluated. Along with this stress, there will be many events, fest are conducted on an average there will be 2 to 3 per month, which are a big stress busters is for students. I request for all newly joining students not to join just by seeing NIRF rank. The best way is just approach any of the students, specially third or fourth year students who are studying in that college that is only the best way who gives the complete and exact review about that particular college.
