Good college for B.Tech IT with a good campus and placement opportunities.

Placements: Placements in our course are good. Many companies come for recruitment. Around 70–80% of students get placed, depending on their skills and eligibility. The highest package is around 12–15 LPA. The average package is 4–5 LPA. TCS, Infosys, Wipro, Accenture, & other IT companies visit the campus. Students also get internship opportunities in different companies. Top roles are Software Developer, Web Developer, Testing, Data Analyst, and Technical Support.

Infrastructure: The infrastructure of the college is good. Classrooms are spacious and clean. Computer labs have good systems. Internet facilities are also available. The library has many books and study materials for students. The campus has sports facilities and a canteen. Hostel facilities are decent. Mess food is average to good. Overall, the infrastructure is good for B.Tech IT students. The college provides most of the required facilities.

Faculty: Faculty members are helpful. Most teachers are qualified. They have good knowledge of their subjects. They help students whenever they have doubts. The curriculum is relevant for IT students. However, students also need to learn some extra skills by themselves for the industry. Semester exams are moderate. Some subjects are easy. Others can be a little difficult. If you study regularly, passing exams is not very difficult.

Other: I chose B.Tech IT because I was interested in computers and technology. The best thing about this course is that we get to learn programming, databases, web development, & other technical subjects. The college also organizes different events, fests, & extracurricular activities. Campus life is good. Students can participate in different activities. I think more practical classes, industry projects, and better internship opportunities can make the course even better.

A successful journey at PIET.

Placements: PIET is known for placements. Many students choose PIET only for placements because the end goal of a student is to get a job after a degree. PIET's placement cell, known as the Career Advancement Cell, provides training by organizing seminars, workshops, and skill development classes. I'm not comfortable facing the camera and wanted to get over that fear. Skill development sessions at PIET helped me overcome this fear.

Infrastructure: The infrastructure of PIET is the same as what I saw on the internet. But the first time I visited the campus, I realized how big it is. From academic buildings to the sports grounds, everything is huge. Also, there is a cart that gives us a full tour of the campus. And now, as a student, I can confirm that it offers the best-in-class facilities to students, from interactive classrooms to modern lab facilities, we have everything at an affordable fee structure.

Faculty: Professors at PIET are academic and industry experts. They combine academic knowledge with industry insights, which helps us easily learn complex concepts. Dr. Tanu is my favourite professor. She is so supportive and caring. I have learned a lot from her. Her experience in marketing clearly reflects in her teaching style. Other professors are also good and ready to help even after classes.

Good college. You should try in this college.

Placements: Placement is good in mechanical engineering. Students have more opportunities to get selected in great companies. In the first year, you should also try in the CSC background, as there are also great placements.

Infrastructure: Food is average. There are no restrictions or anything on the dormitory. There are separate hostels for first and second years, but there is no specific hostel for quiet students. That is not a good thing for students. Food quality is very low compared to the charges they take.

Faculty: Teachers are so helpful they provide notes and if you need any help they will help teachers are so good they have so much knowledge other than just a degree they give you other knowledge other than book is knowledge teachers push everyday so we can succeed in our life.

The college is a good experience for me to meet new friends and gain knowledge.

Placements: Honestly speaking, around 30% of students get placed in our college. Many fellow students get good placements, and professors make great efforts to provide placement opportunities. However, many students still do not know what to do in this situation.

Infrastructure: The infrastructure for our course is quite satisfactory. Although Wi-Fi is available in the college, students are not allowed to use it, and only staff members can access it. The food in the canteen is average, while the sports-related activities are quite good.

Faculty: Teachers in the college are qualified for their jobs. They also help students whenever they have doubts about anything. The exams are of moderate difficulty. Students who put effort into their studies pass with good marks.
