Remarks

The admission process was online, you have to suit your documents via a TN state government website, TNGSA, from there your details will be provided to the college and then College will contact you for further process.

Course Curriculum Overview

2.5

I choose this college because of its NIRF Ranking, but trust me it's not worth it. The college infrastructure is very old. They don't provide proper classrooms and tutors are not very good. Some are good some aren't. Internal exams are easy and are conducted in the same classroom but sem end is conducted properly.

Class Size: 40Course Fees: INR 1800 per year

Fees and Financial Aid

Fee is very low as it is a government college, and you get a scholarship as well, NSP. Which is 10000 per year and fee is around 2k per for first year and second and third it's around 500. Hostel is also very cheap.

Campus Life

2.5

Campus Life is very good if you're a tamilians or you know Tamil. Other than that for a north Indian, it's not very good, you'll have many problems communicating with classmates and other staff, nobody really knows Hindi here

Hostel Facilities

The room is decent with three or four sharing, they provide can water and food is proper south Indian, sometimes good sometimes decent. But you get a good experience in a hostel. As it is very affordable and neat. Washrooms are common in the floor and the mess bill is around 2.5k per month.

Hostel Fee: INR 17000 per year

THE IDEAL COLLEGE LIFE!

Likes

The opportunities to meet new people and interact with a whole new circle of people by Club Activities as there are quite a lot of clubs according to the student's interest.
Many places to showcase our singing and dancing talent once we join the club or take part in any of the department events.
They have multiple labs for a single department so that the students get a lot of hands on training for coding and as well as hardware.

Dislikes

4:3 Ratio of Girls to Boys in my class and i hope it's the same for all the departments as well.
The college timing can go from 8:30 AM to 5:10PM.
The 75% attendance is kind of doable and maintainable to an extent.

Placement Experience:

about 70 to 80 percent of the students get placed afdter the colleg and the ones not placed also gets placed after the college with high network and communication from other contacts within the college, ZOHO Corp does take placements and i am preparing for my CAT exams as i am planning for My highers at IIM, 5th semester is when the students become eligible for the campus placements and the seniors are a good connection who help to get places and get a job after the completion of degree.
