✓ Strengths
- The course is good because we were nurtured at CLRI, which is one of the best institutes for leather in all of Asia.
- Placements for students here at Algappa College of Technology, for M.tech in Food Technology, are really good and encourage students to work harder to secure a good position as an employee.
- Since the fee was very nominal, and since all of us had the scholarship, none of our classmates availed loans.
