    CDAC provides placement opportunities and benefits for students.
    Placements: About 67% of students are placed, and overall percentage of placements across all years is 90%. Due to the recession, placement rates have been somewhat low in the last two years. It has excellent placements compared to other CDAC colleges. Top recruiters include Pattern, Bajaj, and Elastic Run. Up to 30 companies offer salary packages ranging from 3 LPA - 16 LPA. Top roles include Java developers, DotNet developers, and JavaScript-related jobs.
    Infrastructure: Two messes are available. There are no hostel facilities. One library is available, but there is little time to visit it. A small turf for cricket and table tennis is provided. The quality of food is average. Lab facilities are good. Wi-Fi works well.
    Faculty: Faculty members are very good and considered the best compared to other engineering colleges. It provides industry-related knowledge. For the CCEE exam, students need to work hard.

    Other: Those who want to enter IT and are recent college graduates get the most benefits.

    Absolutely dissatisfied because of placement and faculty of IACSD Akrudi Pune.
    Placements: Do not go for IACSD Akrudi CDAC College, I found job placement rates to be considerably lower than what I had expected based on the programme Advertisement. Sept 2022 to march 2023 batch placement percentage is only 40%. Not even 50%. And Most important Partiality. They detriment with 150 students money. Also not conducting Local Campus.
    Infrastructure: Infrastructure good but placement is important thing and that was bad. They will not provide us medical facilities also sports and games. Infrastructure of labs and classes, Wi-Fi, classrooms was good. Please focus on placement ratio and be aware of that every student spent 110000 + ( All needed things).
    Faculty: Average type of faculty. Often unhelpful lacked sufficient knowledge in their respective field. Outside faculty are good as compared to institute faculty. The semester exam in this college was excessively challenging. And they gave us very low marks in internal also.
    Other: Increase your Connectivity and most important behave very politely and with good manner with ALUMINI. So they will give you response.

    It is an institution to make you industry-ready.
    Placements: Around 90% of the students who took the course got placed. The highest salary package offered was around 8 LPA and the average salary package offered was 3.5 LPA. The lowest salary package offered was 3 LPA. The top recruiting companies were HCL, Marelli, and Tech Mahindra. Moreover, the MNCs had good hiring. The top roles offered were embedded software developer and embedded design engineer.
    Infrastructure: There were air-conditioned classrooms with projectors and smart labs. There was one PC for two students. The library was well-equipped with books and journals. The hostel had big rooms and shared bathrooms. The mess was located along with the hostel. The food served was the best I ever had. The playground was fairly big.
    Faculty: Faculty members were the best. They were helpful and taught the basics of the course. They are project engineers who teach students too. The placement coordinator was also very helpful. The course is good but could require some changes to the subjects. The exams are held online and are objective type. The pass percentage is 60%.

    I am satisfied with the placements but can it can be improved by inviting more companies.
    Placements: Out of 100 students in our course, almost 90 students are got placed. Almost 10 students were not placed because they opted for the education gap of 4 years. Top recruiting companies were Honeywell and General Electric. Almost 90% of the students get placed in centre PG diploma in embedded systems, and design in top courses. Even the placement coordinator was also not appropriate. He does not know how to deal with students.
    Infrastructure: The campus was a rented centre, so the infrastructure was poor. Even the washrooms, classrooms and everything was poor. There was no internet facility.
    Faculty: Faculty members in our college were fine, but the lab assistants were not good at all in helping or clearing doubts and supporting students. The course curriculum was excellent as a lot of new things were there to learn, and especially it is according to our market which industry seeks to.
    Other: I opted for this course because embedded software was one of the emerging fields, which contains a combination of hardware and software knowledge.
