Our institute is considered as one of the most premium institutions of India. Almost every facility is available here most of the times. Huge companies come during internship/placement season. Course structure is amazing and according to the need of the industry.

It is very well balanced course with topics specially from electrical and electronics. It also includes few topics from computer science, maths and physics. Subjects are well taught by the professors who are doing research in their respective fields. Their are many labs (such as basic electronics lab, signals and network lab, programing, etc) which improve our understanding and practical knowledge. Exams are generally subjective and very hard to score a perfect score.

Placement and job opportunities are very better and improving every year. Our college has a career development center (CDC), which helps students to get internships in top companies such as Microsoft, Amazon, Adobe and other tech-giants.

I cleared JEE Advanced 2018 with an All India Rank of 971 and got admission in IIT Kharagpur, Electrical Engineering stream through JOSAA 2018 counselling. Admission process is very straight forward.
