Placements are less but you can learn a lot.
Placements: The placement varies from year to year. In a batch of super seniors, 6 of 15 students got placed, and in my senior batch, 4 of 15 students were placed. There is a placement department in our college. The companies visited the campus for placements are ONGC, Schlumberger India, etc. The highest salary package offered is 24 LPA.
Infrastructure: The infrastructure of my department is outstanding in terms of labs and the library. A swimming pool and indoor sports like table tennis, chess, pool, etc., are available on the campus. There is a multi-activity centre where many activities are carried out. Classrooms are equipped with air-conditioning, projects and comfortable seats. Canteen is available for 24 hours, and food is tremendously good at very cheap rates.

MSc in Geology, at IIT, Roorkee.
Placements: 4 out of 12 students got jobs in ONGC from my senior batch, with a package of 17.4 lakhs per annum. In the preceding batch, 2 were selected in GSI. 2 people from my batch have been selected for SN Bose scholarship that is for the summer internship in different US colleges for free.
Infrastructure: The labs are well maintained. It is a place where not only your academic activities but also co-curricular activities are given importance. There are a lot of recreational clubs where you can spend your leisure time. There is a specific student club where you can play various indoor games too. The food quality is average and non-veg isn't served.
Faculty: The faculty are highly qualified persons with a high knowledge in their respective field. A good teacher is defined not by his qualifications but by how well he can interact with the students and make them understand the topics that he is teaching. In this field, my teachers are unmatchable.

Quite disappointed because of faculty members.
Placements: About 72 percent of the students were placed in my department. The highest package was 9 LPA, the average package was 5 LPA, and the lowest package was 3 LPA. Several students got internships in many reputed companies that visited our college campus.
Infrastructure: Wi-Fi only available for faculty members. Classrooms and labs were very nice. A well-stocked library was available. The hostel rooms were systematic and satisfying. The quality of food available in the canteen and mess was tasty and good. Multiple medical and sports facilities.
Faculty: Teachers were very knowledgeable and skilled, but they had rude behavior toward students from other states. They became angry if doubts were asked repeatedly. The teaching quality was average. Our course was not curriculum-relevant because these activities only happened at the start.
