Very Bad Infrastructure for BCA Department.

Placements: Barely any company visits my college for placement. Last year, only TCS came to our college, and 10-12 students got placed. The annual average package you should expect when you get placed anyhow is about 2.5 LPA to 3.7 LPA. Students also got placed in some local companies or startups.

Infrastructure: For the BCA department, we have only one reading room, which is used for classes, and one computer lab. Our department arranges our classes in different departments, especially in the Mathematics department, as BCA in our college belongs to the Mathematics department. Our college has 2 hostels, but I recommend avoiding them, as the buildings are old, and students get very few facilities.

Faculty: Teachers are well-qualified, but they lack in delivering knowledge. The course curriculum is relevant as they have added Big Data and emerging technology in our syllabus. But the sad part is we do not get that environment to become industry-ready. As I have taken admission here just to be eligible for MCA, as I have planned to get into the best college for MCA, which will definitely help in landing a good job. Our college offers the worst infrastructure for our department, but other departments are well. We have a lack of placements too.

Other: I have chosen BCA as I am more interested in technology and computer-related things. Our college conducts different events from time to time.

Very satisfying because of the faculty and good placements every year, along with really good infra.

Placements: Above 60% of students were placed every year. The highest package is 12 LPA, and the lowest package is 4.6 LPA. Approximately, most students got internships from my course in many companies like TCS, Wipro, and so many others. In the past year, our seniors secured top roles like Software Developer, etc.

Infrastructure: The infrastructure is very good, and the hostel is well-maintained. In my department, everything is organized properly, and the behavior of our staff is also good with us. Our hostel is very good and well-furnished. There is also a water purification facility, and the mess facility is available in a proper way.

Faculty: The faculty members are very helpful and well-educated. The way of teaching is excellent. The course curriculum is very relevant and makes the students industry-ready. The semester examinations are not so difficult because our faculty team is very knowledgeable and has prepared us well. The minimum pass mark for us is 35%.

Other: I chose this course because, from the beginning, I wanted to enter the IT sector. So, I decided to pursue this course. In my college, there are many events every month, such as annual sports, annual functions, etc. The total fee for my course is not so high due to it being a government college.

College is very good.

Placements: In our college, only 2% of students got placement and the highest package is 1 LPA and the lowest package is 60000. The top companies are coming to our college, like Guard and Maruti. Zero percent of students got internships from BN College. The top roles offered are manager and employee.

Infrastructure: The facilities at our college are very poor because there is no perfect bathroom and no pure water for drinking. Yes, the hostel is good and the facilities are very good; they have proper facilities. Yes, every week we get one period of sports to play what we want.

Faculty: They are very supportive and qualified, and they all prove they are the best teachers. They all know how to teach students and they are all very natural, and they give precious knowledge to their students. They are very good.

Other: I had a dream late at night and decided to take BCA from BN College as a part-time course. Yes, every extracurricular event is held on campus.

It is a good college with all the facilities.

Placements: You have to apply off-campus for internships. The lowest salary package offered is 3 LPA to 4 LPA, the average is 5 LPA, and the highest is 6 LPA to 7 LPA. Many students apply to various companies and achieve their goals. About 60% to 70% of students are placed every year in good companies. No big companies come to this college.

Infrastructure: Wi-Fi and labs are available in the BCA department. The library has more than 500 to 600 coding books. The facilities are good. The university also has a hospital for students and faculty members. The college has a huge ground for playing different types of sports. The college organises sports competitions every year.

Faculty: The teaching quality is good. Teachers are very cooperative and helpful. They taught us how to work in real life. Semester exams are very hard. You have to study very hard to get good marks. The exam schedules are good.

Overall it is a good college where you can learn many things .

Placements: Students in our college are very talented and they score well. But still, there is no placement at all. No companies come to our college and even our principal is not looking into it. Approximately 10% of the students get placements if they request to HOD.

Infrastructure: All the facilities are available in our college. Wi-Fi is also available to students free of cost. Computer labs are also very good. All PCs are very new and under maintenance. In the library, books required for our course are not available. Hostel management is good and the mess is also good.

Faculty: I would rate 5 out of 5 to the faculty members of our college. Teachers are highly trained and they know the perfect way to how to teach students. They behave well and never do any partiality between students. Teachers are very punctual and they also give online classes if we need them.

Other: I chose this course because I like coding and computer-related things. The cleanliness on the campus should be improved. Campus crowd is average. Scholarships are available for almost all the courses.
