4.2
Good infrastructure, decent professors, & average placements, but much politics among the crowd.
Placements: About 80 percent of students were placed in the senior batch. The rest of them are either pursuing a Master's programme or a startup. The highest package on campus was for 57 LPA from DE Shaw. As mentioned, the top recruiters are DE Shaw, Nvidia, CDAC, and Ships. Quite a few students got internships from my course, approximately 80 students on campus. Most roles were SDE roles.
Infrastructure: Good Wi-Fi, decent hostel, and decent mess food are provided. There are some restrictions for outpass and other stuff. The mess committee is a student-run committee for food, which keeps changing. A mix of north Indian and south Indian food is provided. Hostels are well-maintained and cleaned daily. First-year students stay outside the campus hostel.
Faculty: Teachers are highly qualified and helpful. Many professors guide you to pursue research under them, and let us be part of the paper and give us credit for making us authors. Exams are not so difficult, though, because of relative grading, and grades also depend on your peers.
