My honest review of my college.

Placements: Around 50% of students get placed in the course. The highest package is 17 LPA, and the lowest is around 3 LPA. The companies that visit the campus include Deloitte, Wipro, TCS, Adani, etc. Most students get internship-cum-placement offers in the 5th semester itself. If any student is unable to attend, the department offers an internship under the guidance of a faculty member.

Infrastructure: I am a day scholar and do not stay in the hostel, but I have visited it a couple of times. The fee is Rs.1500. The rooms have good interiors, are large, and come with attached bathrooms. It is not on a sharing basis. The hostel has Wi-Fi, a TV room, a badminton court, and a well-maintained library.

Faculty: Faculty members are well qualified. Our Principal, Rev. Dr. Abraham, is a reputed clergyman who is known for innovations as a layman. He is the founder of the college, and I feel he is always keen on gaining new knowledge and implementing technologies. Our Director, Dr. M.S. Samuel, is a well-known professor of Mathematics who contributes a lot to studies in the field. The course curriculum is relevant, but the structure of the course is not up to date. Faculty members are good and help students understand the concepts. They are well-educated and hold doctorate degrees in their respective fields. It is the toughest course I have ever attended or heard of. Every mark earned in the three years is hard-earned. There is a lot to learn. The professors set a very high benchmark for students. Industry-level assignments are included in the course curriculum. Professors do not allow students to cheat or copy assignments from the internet.

My honest review of my college.

Placements: We have a placement cell, and one faculty member is appointed as the placement in charge. Initially, the cell provided us training on aptitude tests, numerical ability, etc., and conducted some placement drives. Some companies like Wipro visit the campus for placements, and through the connections of the cell, we got many opportunities to attend placement drives. Many of us got placements in IBS, Accenture, CTS, etc.

Faculty: The college is under MG University, and the course curriculum is well-designed. The university revised the syllabus in 2007. We also have subjects which are purely based on Maths, like auto meta theory and statistics. In the 5th semester, we are given an elective, distributed computing. In the 5th semester, we have a subject called data mining, which has many opportunities for research even today. Faculty members are well-qualified. Our Principal Rev.

My review of this college.

Placements: The placement at this college was amazing. The maximum package was 45 LPA and the average package was around 7-9 LPA. Most students got placed in top tech companies. The placement policy was very good and designed in such a way that most students were placed. Various opportunities were provided for selection in very good companies. Seniors also helped and guided students in their preparations. Approximately every student got placed by the end of the year, with more than good packages.

Infrastructure: Actually, I chose the 2-year MCA course. We had both 3-year and 2-year plans. The course curriculum was easy. I had 4 semesters with 3 practicals, a mini project, and a main project. The last semester was to the main project, and I completed it by myself as an intern. I was a day scholar. The rooms were fully furnished with AC. The meals provided were also quite good, considering all the things. However, the hostel was quite expensive, with fees of 1,40,000 for 1 year, but it was worth it. The meals included all varieties, and breakfast, lunch, snacks, and dinner were served.

Faculty: Talking about the exam structure, it was really cool. I had 4 semesters. Each semester, I had 5 theory papers and a practical. In the third semester, I had 5 theory papers and a mini-project. For the mini project, we had a viva related to the project, and the same applied to the main project in the 6th semester. Coming to faculty, they were well-educated professors. Their classes were excellent and added worth value to my education. They also supported me to do in other extracurricular activities. We had a festive occasion conducted by our department.

It is an above-average college for the MCA course.

Placements: The final semester of the course features a non-technical curriculum intended for research work, which is required for all students, so they cannot begin working until the last semester of their course. Even though, they become eligible for placements during the final year of their study. Google and other companies visit Amity. Numerous businesses, including IMARC, Trivium, and HCL, among others came for placements. The course bundle typically costs Rs. 7,00,000 per annum. Around 80% of students were put on campus for our course. I'm going to work now.

Infrastructure: Every Wednesday, an event called the Wednesday Gathering takes place. A group of students is responsible for organizing and leading a one-hour program that includes both entertainment and educational content. Each Wednesday, a different group will take their turn to host the gathering. Students are encouraged to participate in festivals and activities organized by other colleges. Sports are not given the same level of importance.

Faculty: All faculty members are excellent and dedicated to helping students improve. Each member possesses extensive knowledge in their respective fields. Students can provide feedback to faculty through the regular faculty feedback program, which contributes to the overall enhancement of the course.
