Overall: The college is located 5km away from Perundurai town and has only limited buses to reach the town. Auto facility is available. The educational infrastructure and staffs are very good. Placements are going on very well Hostel facility is available. There are many rules imposed in this college. Overall it is good for study

Infrastructure: The department buildings are well equipped and are nice. Hostel is somewhat good. All lab facilities and wifi facilities are available. Canteens are also available around the campus

Faculty: Faculties are very nice and are supporting those who need help can get help from them anytime if needed. Some faculties just handle the course just to complete the portion and even some faculties show hatred towards students

Hostel: Hostel will be somewhat good. Male students can go home every week but female students can go only when they have two days holiday on the weekend. Food is not appreciable in the hostels not worth for money. It is very hard to reach bus stand from hostel
