Admission Process
Placement
Generally, the placements are very good, especially for electrical engineering. This year almost all electrical engineering students in B.Tech and dual degree got placed in the first two days. Placement packages were between 10 LPA and 40 LPA. Internships are heavily dependent on the branch. All CS students usually get an internship whereas about 75% of electrical students get it and so on. There is a placement cell assisted by a student body called the placement team headed by an elected representative. This framework is very student friendly.
Infrastructure
The campus is situated in a forest like atmosphere with very rich fauna and flora. Labs, library and sports facilities are state of the art. Classes in a few departments could use some renovation works. There is an institute hospital and, three ambulances. Every student is also insured in case of any emergencies. Finally, the mess food is healthy but can get very monotonous. Also, there are about 9 messes for boys.
Faculty
The faculty are very highly qualified, and they are also very interested in teaching and mentoring students. The student to faculty ratio depends on the course. For an introductory course, it could be as high as 1 faculty for a hundred students. Starting with the 2015 batch, the curriculum was changed to make it very flexible for students. At every stage, efforts are made to ensure students are learning the necessary skills to be very good engineers.
