B.Tech. in Artificial Intelligence and Data Science - Batch of 2026

Offered by Dr. N.G.P. Institute of Technology

4.4

4.0Placements4.0Infrastructure4.0Faculty5.0Crowd & Campus Life5.0Value for Money

Dr. N.G.P.I.T has the best resources in terms of faculty members and student hostels.

Placements: Advanced AI roles and other roles were offered to students who pursued AI at Dr. NGPIT. I graduated this year and saw some of the best placements that the college has ever offered. From Infosys, TCS, Amazon, and Microsoft, many such firms came for placements. Most students were placed in these companies' Chennai offices.

Infrastructure: There were five blocks, A to E. A Block was where our classes were held. The girls' hostel was off campus but just a 5-minute walk from the campus. Good food and good rooms were the best features of our hostels. The 6 PM curfew was the only issue. Otherwise, the college infrastructure and hostel facilities at Dr. NGPIT were all top-class.

Faculty: Most, or rather over 90%, of faculty members were from the home state, and thus the language issue never became a challenge. We could ask them questions in the local language, and because they were familiar with the language, they would reply accordingly. Exams here were really tough, as there were multiple exams per semester.

Other: Flash Mob and Kanam were the two main events of our college.

Solid choice for engineering in the Coimbatore region.

Placements: I am studying Biomedical Engineering at this college. The college itself is not that bad. But they have strong placement records. The top courses are CSE, AI, and this. The top package is about 12 LPA, and some top companies recruit at this college.

Infrastructure: The college hostel is the weirdest thing in this college. I mean, the food is very bad. There is not much cleanliness. The water supply is not good. The rooms are small, with poor furnishing. No outside food is available, and there is no canteen. There is only one vending machine for the whole hostel.

Faculty: If you study just enough, you can pass the exams. The exams are not that hard. This college is an autonomous college. The syllabus is easy to understand. Teachers are friendly. They are well-educated and very helpful. The HOD is a bit strict.

Other: As personal advice, take a PG hostel or rent a room if you join this college.

A short review of a minority-based college.

Placements: Many companies are startups, while some are well-recognized companies as well. The highest package is 5 LPA. Many students also don't attend the placement process. The average package is around 2-3 LPA. The top recruiting companies are KaarTech, Infosys, Cognizant, etc.

Infrastructure: The campus is Wi-Fi enabled. The food quality is good. It is a good institution with facilities for various sports. It also has a basic canteen facility. The college does not offer many cultural events or highly entertaining activities. These things are decent but better than most recognized colleges in the city.

Faculty: Faculty members are well-qualified. The curriculum is relevant and industry-oriented. The passing percentage is quite high compared to other colleges. The institution also offers internship opportunities to students while studying. The syllabus is innovative and gives importance to practical knowledge.

Other: I chose this college because of the merit scholarship it offers. Its location is in an important part of the IT corridor.
