There are 3 assessment exams before a semester. The faculty is more friendly and easily approachable compared to other departments.

The students can sit for placements from the 6-7th semester. The students must possess 65% above in 12th grade and must have at least 70% cgpa with possibly no backlogs. The highest packages will be available and eligible for the CSE/IT students or for the students in other departments who are best at coding. Or you can also opt for higher studies by not signing the consent form to sit in the placements.

The fees are higher since it is an autonomous institution. There are some governmental scholarships and LMS scholarships for merit students. It will be challenging for middle-class people to afford the fees if there is no continuous monthly income in the family.
