    Academic curriculum is very strict. Atleast 80% attendance is required in each subject and overall as well otherwise there will be a grade drop.Also it is mandatory to get more than 2.5 cgpa otherwise you will not be allowed to sit for the placements and your parents will be called for your poor academic performance.We have mid term, End term and lots of quizes, assignments and projects for each subjects both individual and group

    The college infrastructure is very good. It has been awarded with platinum Green campus award.The staff work very hard in maintaining hygiene and cleanliness inside the campus.It has gym a , three huge canteens single and double occupancy rooms for both boys and girls and girls hostel even has a lift in it and they also have attached bathrooms

    The campus is alive all the time.we have lots of events organised by students of different clubs and committees.Also people are very friendly and easy to talk to and will come handy whenever required.

    Placements

    Think it is value for money for the kind of exposure we get here in this college along with internship support and placement support makes it even better.With a green campus with trees everywhere it doesn't feel like we are in Chennai
