Remarks :
The campus is located in an area that is village-like with nothing around but small shops where you would even doubt eating. Not well connected to the city, you might have to spend a lot if you plan to eat out some day which, given the quality of mess food, will happen a lot to times. Transport is provided to all, so you will have to plan accordingly. Eateries aren't at all hygienic, so drop the idea of eating out everyday. Apart from location, rest is fine. You will make good memories with people who actually come from all over India.

Yes, Allahabad network is big there are many alumni at good companies and good places. Because of this there was so many companies visit every year and it is increasing.
Exam Structure :
The exam structure is like having midsem and endsem. Corresponing practicals are before the theory exams. Labs are well maintained and complete campus is connected to internet. On days of lab, it is hectic else very much chilled out.
Faculty :
The faculty members are not that good considering this college is of national importance. Some professors are very good but some are below the expectations of students. But most of them are easily available and readily try to solve the problems of students. Most of the faculty members that teach B.Tech are of the post of assistant professor. They also have TAs for help. TA are from M.Tech.
