This entirely depends on the particular individual and their approach towards the course. But like every other college that also has their share of Pros and Cons. It is one of the oldest state universities. They have an experienced faculty, most of them having PhD from the top IITs. The infrastructure of the campus is well maintained with the necessary classroom and lab facilities. The batch size is smaller. The MBA department is really good, whereas the M.Tech course is not up to the mark. The major problem is the placements. Very few companies participate in their placement program. On-Campus placements are not good, and most of the students have to go for Off-Campus placements to secure a good job offer. Therefore, it is suggested that you make your decision after careful consideration.
