ZHCET, AMU - A college with pace in it.

Placements: I'm in the first year of computer engineering. Last year, 37 students out of 55 got placed, i.e., 67%. The average salary is 7.8 LPA, and the highest salary is 16.2 LPA. Top recruiting companies are MS Instaview AI-Bengaluru, MS Cloud Nebula Enterprises Pvt. Ltd., Lucknow, MS Green Torque-Kuwait, MS LTI Mindtree limited-Mumbai, and many others. Not sure, but around 40% of eligible students got an internship in their 3rd year of undergraduate studies, and the companies are TCS, Infosys, Wipro, L&T, etc. Top roles are software development, web developer, data analyst, technical support engineer, etc.

Infrastructure: The infrastructure is good. Most of the facilities are provided by the college, like reading room access or the library, into which the student can go after the classes, and most of the classes, including mine, are smart classes. Sports facilities are also very good. There are proper programme for sports named Uqaab in the hostel for the players. Mess food is also good at a low price. Canteen food and beverages are so affordable and tasty. There are proper reading or common rooms even in the hostel.

Faculty: Teachers are good enough to teach you any of the topics related to the syllabus or beyond the syllabus. Curriculum is fine, it opens your mind, which helps to get ready for the industry. Semester exams are not that hard. Passing is not hard, just study core concepts, and it is all set.

Other: I have been interested in this course since my school days. Everything is fine as per me till now. Scholarships are also given to students. Connection issue is seen there, especially in the Jio or Vi network.

The best and the cheapest engineering college.

Placements: The placement in our course was average. In recent years, it has improved. The average package was around 4 LPA. The highest package was about 9 LPA. Top recruiters were ONGC, HPCL, BPCL, etc. Mostly students got internship offers from different companies.

Infrastructure: The university consisted of very beautiful and historic buildings on the campus. It had a central library named after Maulana Azad. The classroom was old but had all the required facilities. Wi-Fi facilities were available in the hostel. The food was also very good. Multiple cafeteria was present on the campus. A sports ground was present and played between different colleges.

Faculty: Professors were very helpful, well-qualified, and knowledgeable. The teaching quality was good, but you should not just rely on the professor, you should also. The course curriculum was relevant. Internships were provided to help students become industry-ready. The semester exam in college was moderate.

Good college with good infrastructure and facilities of AMU.

Placements: In branches like Computer Engineering and Artificial Intelligence, almost 70-80 per cent of students get placed in decent companies at decent packages of 6 to 18 LPA. The average is 7-8 LPA, while the median is also approximately the same, around 8-10 LPA. In other branches like Mechanical, Electrical, and Electronics, the placement ratio is 60-70 per cent, and the average is 6-8 LPA.

Infrastructure: The facilities and infrastructure of the college are good enough. Classrooms also have smart boards. Labs are fully working, and everything needed for experiments or project work is available. Wi-Fi works properly with high speed in hostels, but is a little weak in college. The college has its own book bank where students can take books and read in the reading lawn. Reading rooms are also available in all hostels. Maulana Azad Library is one of the largest libraries in Asia, just 2-3 hundred meters from the college.

Faculty: The curriculum is like that of other Indian engineering colleges. I can say it is good enough and far better than some private and almost every college of AKTU. I learned an interesting thing: if a student focuses on skills along with academics (no matter if average or good), the chances of being placed increase drastically. This year (2025-26), some Electronics and Automobile students are placed for teaching roles, as usual, every year.

The hostels are very good and large in size, and are based on an old style. We have various games to play, like table tennis, chess, carrom, hockey, cricket, football, and there is a swimming pool in which we can dive.

Faculty: Teachers are very helpful, qualified, and knowledgeable. They help the students focus on their studies, and they give appropriate answers to students who are confused about the syllabus. Teachers are accessible on WhatsApp, and we can contact them easily and ask any doubts.
