Absolutely, I love my college.

Placements: In my institute, the highest package offered is around 40 LPA, and our average package is around 16 LPA, which I think is good. This is the first batch from ECM that is on placement. I think with time, placements will be better than the current scenario. I would like to inform you that all of them are placed in non-core, so this branch is completely on the tech side. With time, the branch demand will increase in the market.

Infrastructure: Hostel, I would rate 5 above and more especially, the hostel is at the level of IITs and above any NITs hostel. Cleanliness in the hostel is also top-level and sweeping machines are used. Mess food, I would rate 4.5. Non-vegetarian food is very good. Vegetarian students have to suffer a little bit. Medical, I would rate 5. There is always an ambulance available 24/7, and there are doctors for stress and anxiety. Also, one of my classmates has anxiety problems, so the college authority takes it seriously. Sports, I would rate 4. Mostly, all sports are available, so overall 4.

Faculty: In our institute, the faculty-to-student ratio is quite good, it is nearly up to 9:1. Approaching the faculty members is very easy, as they are supportive. All the faculty members are good, so we cannot take the names. There are two exams, mid-semester and end-semester. They are a little bit tough. The curriculum is also relevant when it comes to the core branches, and it is somewhat non-relevant for the tech branches.

Placement in our institute is appreciable.

Placements: Almost 80 to 85 percent of students get placed every year. The highest package is 15 LPA, and the lowest package is 4.5 LPA. Top recruiters are Accenture, Adobe, and Amazon. Around 10–15 percent of seniors get internships. The top role offered is MERN Developer. In the last 2–3 years, there have been some placement issues. Many seniors are not placed through campus recruitment and try to get jobs off campus.

Infrastructure: Our college provides all the general facilities such as Wi-Fi, labs, classrooms, library for all the departments. In our department, there are many laboratories. The hostel room size is good, but the washrooms are not cleaned properly, and the mess does not have enough workers.

Faculty: The teachers vary from department to department. Every professor is different. Some are good and some are not. The course curriculum is not fully relevant, as they are still living in an old ideology, which sometimes backfires, I think so. The exams are not that difficult. You can study a day before and pass easily in every subject. Almost everyone here passes.

Overall I am very satisfied with my college it has every facility for students.

Placements: The college placement percentage last year was approximately 80 percent. The highest package offered is 41 LPA, the average is 9 LPA, and the lowest is 3.6 LPA. Top recruiting companies are Google, Amazon, Microsoft, etc. Usually most placements occur in tech roles.

Infrastructure: We have 2 campus one in Patna main city and Bihta. Bihta campus has new and modern infrastructure but construction is still going on but labs, classrooms, and the library are decent. While both campus have very good facilities such as a gym, student activity centre, medical facilities, and ambulance. First year hostel is below average but after the first year hostel shift it is better.

Faculty: All teachers are helpful, qualified, and very student-friendly and always ready to help but not all professors. Teaching quality is good. They are strict to the curriculum. Curriculum is relevant and makes students industry-ready. Semester exams are not difficult if someone has studied they can easily pass.

Other: Events and fests restarted this year it was fun and chaotic. You can apply for NSP and FFE for a scholarship. There are lots of extracurricular activities to do like music, dancing, poetry, sports, and plenty of clubs to join.

Nice campus with good placements.

Placements: In the college almost 90 percent of students are placed in four companies and nearly 100 percent in non-teaching roles. The highest salary offered is 45 LPA, the average is around 12 LPA, and the lowest is 5 LPA. Major recruiters include Google, Microsoft, and L&T.

Infrastructure: Hostels are allotted to each student in the college. For the first year a single room is shared with 2 students while in the second year onwards a single room is allotted to single students. The mess food quality is not so good. The library is full of books and books. You'll get newspapers and magazines too. The classroom is very high-tech and air-conditioned. They have whiteboards and a green board, projectors, and a podium equipped with a mic. Many sports events here, like cricket, football, Premier League, badminton, etc., are conducted.

Faculty: Teachers are qualified and always willing to help. They communicate well. The curriculum focuses on preparing students for jobs. The semester exams can be a little tough but the high pass rate shows that the course is well-structured. Faculty members are good and approachable.
