    Don't fall for fake marketing.
    Placements: The worst placement I have enrolled with is the Business Analytics course, and there are no jobs related to the role. Our placement cell has some policies which force us to give interviews for roles we don't even know about. It's November, and only 2/35 people are placed till today.
    Infrastructure: Course structure is undoubtedly up-to-date; it teaches you everything you want to know, but there are a few subjects and classes which are useless and forcefully added to your course. These don't have any connection with your corporate life, which sometimes makes the syllabus lengthy and creates unnecessary pressure on students.
    Faculty: Faculty are good; some of them have well-driven knowledge as well as well-experienced corporate experience. You can relate to the faculty and do various extra activities like research papers and others. Faculty members help you with that, but there are a few faculty members who seem to be very rigid, and they seriously don't care about you.
