Very good facilities, teachers are very good, but placement is a little poor.

Placements: 50 to 60 percent of students have been placed. The highest package is 9 LPA, and the lowest is 4 LPA. Top recruiting companies are Infosys, Deloitte, and TCS. 80 percent of students got internships from college and off-campus. Top roles are software engineer and trainee full-stack engineer.

Infrastructure: Wi-Fi, labs, library, and classes are in very good condition. Hostel rooms are fully furnished, with their own water cooler. The mess and canteens are properly hygienic. Separate hostels are there for girls and boys.

Faculty: Teachers are highly qualified and knowledgeable. The quality of teaching is very good. The course curriculum is relevant, and teachers also teach us some other technologies apart from our university course. College exams are very difficult, but they help you in your university exams because when you take university exams, after that you can easily score 8 CGPA.

Other: Every year, two types of sports events are conducted in college, one is Saksham, which is conducted in September, and the other is in February or March for seniors' farewell.

AKG College is the best in our city.

Placements: 80 percent of students got placed in different companies. The highest package is 20 LPA, the lowest is 3 LPA, and average is 5 LPA to 6 LPA. Top recruiting companies are Accenture, TCS, Wipro, Tech Mahindra, etc. Most students first got an internship period at a startup company, then were promoted to engineer. In our course, 70 percent of students got an internship last year.

Infrastructure: The infrastructure of our college is good. Wi-Fi is available, classrooms are decent, and labs are present with all necessary equipment. The library is available for study resources and books. A hostel is present, and food is acceptable and adjustable. Medical facilities are also decent, and the sports facilities are good.

Faculty: Faculty of our college is good. They are all highly qualified, educated, and knowledgeable. Their teaching quality is good, and all are helpful for students. The course curriculum is not relevant, but the CSE course is relevant. Semester examination is not much difficult as compared to IIT.

AKGEC, The GOAT of Ghaziabad.

Placements: As per what seniors say, the college is blacklisted by Amazon, but I don't know whether that is true or not. Placements are average. So far, as I know, Cred has given a 35+ LPA package to one student. Around 4–5 students have received packages of 30 LPA. The Training and Placement department keeps an up-to-date record of companies visiting the college.

Infrastructure: The college infrastructure gives a pure aesthetic vibe. The canteen is affordable. The most expensive canteen item is Chole Bhature, which costs around Rs. 70–Rs. 80. The college has a beautiful library, a nice self-study room, and a separate book issue centre. Labs are well managed and well equipped.

Faculty: Faculty is 80% absolutely perfect and 20% average or above average. The curriculum is the same as that of AKTU. Exams are conducted in three forms: Sessional Test (50 marks), Pre-University Test (70 marks), and University Test (70 marks). If you follow the previous year's questions of the college, you can definitely get good internals.

Other: I would say you can check out the college once. Just experience what you are going to live for next four years. If it matches your vibe, then definitely go for it.

The college is good, but they should focus more on skills than academics.

Placements: Placements are good, but now there are not as many placements as compared to previous years. The college is mostly focused on academics, not on skills. That is the reason students are stuck in academics and cannot learn enough skills to secure a job.

Infrastructure: The library, labs, and classrooms have Wi-Fi, but the signal is very weak. Mobile networks also do not work properly. However, the hostel food is good, and facilities are nice for students. There are playgrounds where students can play games with their friends.

Faculty: There are many exams in college. Every week, there are exams like ST, PUT, class tests, etc. The semester exams are also difficult, but teachers are good, and their teaching ability is also good. There are some extra courses for students to improve their skills.

Other: There are not many functions in this college. Only fresher and farewell parties are allowed because management mostly focuses on academics.

Above average campus life.

Placements: Approximately 50% of students are placed in the year 2026. 92 girls are placed in Infosys. Top recruiting companies are Infosys, TCS, and HCL. Mostly, students preferred remote internships. At least every student has done one internship. The highest package is 42.5 LPA, and the lowest is 3.2 LPA.

Infrastructure: The college provides excellent hostels with proper security and playgrounds. Quality water supply and mess are also good. Classrooms are good enough, with proper, comfortable seating. They are fully furnished with AC and digital boards. Labs are also good enough. The atmosphere at the canteen is nice. You see couples there.

Faculty: The faculty members are well qualified. They provide you with good knowledge and are very helpful. The curriculum is purely based on AKTU. There are skill centers in college where students can enhance themselves. Academic pressure is very much due to exams in college.

Other: Not so many fests. Mostly 3 events per year: freshers and farewell.

Good infrastructure, punishment for late comers is kind of cool.

Placements: The highest till now offered package is of 1.13 crores (off-campus). And talking about the second-highest category, people do get placed for 30-36 LPA, or some of them, like around 20-30 LPA, but the number of those who get this package is extremely talented and hardworking in their respective branches and fields of interest.

Infrastructure: A library is available, classes are air-conditioned, and the college is full of greenery and trees of different kinds. Our college also has a temple of Goddess Saraswati, which is made from a single marble stone. Additionally, labs with nice equipment are available. Our college also provides some courses for outsiders for a short duration.

Faculty: No, the course is not up to expectations, as it doesn't make you industry-ready, especially in the branch you have picked. I mean to say that the majority get placed in sales representative jobs. Also, a majority get placed for 4-5 LPA, which is not worth it after taking admission here.

Other: There are very few events in my college, and some of them are the freshers' party, farewell party, alumni meet, and cultural society work.
