    If you are looking for MCA don't come here.
    Placements: Approximately 50% of the students get placed in my senior batch with a max package of 26 LPA in optum. The average package is around 8 LPA with the lowest of 4 LPA. Mainly the companies that came here are looking for a full sack developed in Java language. Very few students get internships from here approximately only 10%.
    Infrastructure: Wi-Fi is given to us after we complete one sem and even then the Wi-Fi never works properly, it keeps losing connection every other minute, and after you log in to the Wi-Fi connection, it only lasts for 1 hour. Labs and classroom facilities are also indigent. Students of MCA don't get any hostel except for a few female students on a merit basis.
    Faculty: There are some teachers who have good knowledge of their respective subjects, but they are not able to teach effectively. Some teachers seem like they don't know anything about the subject and just keep blabbering. Only very few of the teachers are good. Almost everyone passes the semester exams some those who fail clear it in re-exam.
    Other: There are many fests that are held here, but none of them are exciting. If you come from a low-tier college or a small village, then this might excite you, but overall it is not worth it.

    NIT Raipur - Is it worth joining.
    Placements: Placements of all IITs and NITs are amazing, including NIT Raipur. For the 2023 batch pass out in MCA 2023, the highest salary went up to 28 LPA, and the average was approximately 10 LPA, which was pretty good. Top recruiting companies are Amdocs, De Shaw, Ford, etc. Top roles offered are data analyst, SDE, etc.
    Infrastructure: Infrastructure as compared to other NITs is pretty low. There is only one main building and one building for architecture. There are boys hostels only for B.Tech, and limited seats in girls hostel for masters. The main building has access to everything, including library, labs, etc.
    Faculty: Teachers here are highly qualified and share the best knowledge in terms of academic and even personal. They are very supportive. The course curriculum is relevant and gives knowledge about today's requirements like DSA, OOPs, etc., making students industry-ready.
