Brainware, The Value for Money.

What I Liked

There are many things that i like about the college. some are - the infrastructure is very good the faculties are also veryy good.

What I didn’t like

There are ac's in almost every room but sometimes we have class in some classrooms where there is no ac and it is a problem .
There are some faculties who have the problem of ego but i dont know about others so i dont think so that they will act same with everyone.

Remarks:

The factor that made me choose this college are - its value for money its nearer to my home the good aspects are - it gives a lot of facilities it has cctv's placed in every corner of the college and there are several guards in the gates the bad aspects are - the neighborhood is a little busy so there are sounds of bikes and cars since it is near the main road so while going out there are jams of toto and auto. The admission process is very easy. It has an admission exams for those under 80% in last qualifying exam which is not that hard and the questions are basically based on the last exam's topics.
