Placement is decent here. So, it could be improved.
Placements: In the session of 2024-25, there are 75% students got placements in CSE in startup and non-technical companies. The highest package in this session 2025 was 12 LPA, and the lowest package was 3 LPA. If we come to average, it is around 4.5 LPA. 60% of students got internship opportunity offered by startup companies. Roles offered are system analyst, full-stack developer, and senior testing engineer.
Infrastructure: College building and its infrastructure are designed in the style of old palace which looks very authentic. Lawn is very good. Hostels are available both in AC and non-AC for students. Campus has fully Wi-Fi covered facility. Food and mess are very good. There is also a dispensary for students to give them first aid and immediate response to curve students. There are hockey court, a huge cricket ground, basketball court, volleyball court, kabaddi court, and badminton court. Indoor stadium is also available. Labs are well-equipped with modern computers, machines, and tools.
Faculty: Teachers are very supportive and student-friendly. All the faculty members are well-educated and full of knowledge. They understand every student's view. Curriculum is relevant, and exams are a little bit tough. If our credit is below 15, we can face backlogs.
Other: I am a student of computer science and engineering at a private university. This should be very helpful to us. Our classmates like to improve the college curriculum to be more technical and practical. Here, every day is a festival. Seminar hall is fully occupied with event guests. Extracurricular activities are also conducted like Gidhha, Bhangra dance, and other all cultural festivals celebrated here.

Crazy campus Life, low study stress.
Placements: I have given 2 stars in case of placements because placements are not done properly in our course. A few of the students get recruited via teachers references, whereas others, vice versa, have to find jobs by themselves. I must say our alumni are most connected to the tour department, and teachers can actually help us get into the good institutions like Indian Express, local Punjab channel, AIR, and web channel.
Infrastructure: Our department is good, they have 2 Studios. One has a teleprompter, cameras, and a recording studio, while the other one is audio studio for recording audio and podcasts. But the infrastructure is not as much as required for the course. The media department needs more infrastructure. While the university in general is very good, they have Wi-Fi all over the campus. A big library and reading room on the campus. Every hostel has its own reading rooms. Mess food is affordable, and canteen food is amazing and affordable. Campus Life is amazing.
Faculty: All teaches are helpful and knowledgeable and the teaching quality is good. The curriculum is relevant for media exams and UGC NET, and they have started their own newsletter recently, which helps students to participate in article writing and designing. Semester exams are not tough, and like another government university, you need 33 percent to pass the exams.
Other: I chose this course to get qualified for further media exams. The best thing about this course is that it does not limit you, unlike other courses, but gives wings to your creativity. I want my course to be more practical than theoretical. Events like book fest, youth fest, and theatre fest regularly happen in the university. Campus Life is great, and the friends you make there are for life. And the scholarship is provided to SC and ST students.

The college helps provide practical knowledge.
Placements: Our department provides placements after the third year, and many companies visit for placements. Recently, Infosys visited. I don't know exactly the package, but it was around 2-3 LPA. Infosys is considered a top recruiting company. Almost 90 percent of students get placements. Top roles help in gaining practical knowledge and real-life case studies.
Infrastructure: Many facilities and infrastructure available, such as Wi-Fi for every hostel student, good classrooms, and a library. The quality of the hostel is also quite good. New hostels are being built for students. The food provided is liked by everyone, and I like it too.
Faculty: Teachers are very helpful. They help in gaining practical knowledge and also solve problems. They support everything. They help make students ready to face everything. Semester exams are difficult but easy if studied, and the pass percentage is 40.
Other: I chose the course because I am interested in business. The best thing about the course is that it provides practical knowledge. I need to improve labs because there are fewer computers and more students. They organize a lot of fests and events, which makes studying here very exciting.

College infrastructure and facilities are good.
Placements: I am in my 3rd year, and approximately 30 percent of students get placement from this college. The highest package offered is 20 LPA. Top one that Microsoft visited once, but now Infosys comes here for placement. Internship in the 8th sem is totally about it, so every student has to make a project, which is considered as training time. Data handling, Software, AI expert, and for research too.
Infrastructure: It has almost all kinds of facilities, good water, all labs have AC, the lecture hall has projectors, and the library area is good. The quality of food is average, but it has a canteen, Wi-Fi in the hostel too, and medical facilities all the time, and time to time events for hostelers at least once a year have been done.
Faculty: Teachers are very helpful, especially Gaurav Deep sir and Abhi sir. They guide you and tell you from the beginning to make you perfect in anything for your project guidance and sub as well. This course has a project submission included, too. In summer training, we will have to make a project that will help to solve industry problems too, and teachers will be guided to participate in hackathons and activities as well. The sem exam is all about the syllabus. You have to learn your syllabus well, and the password percentage is around 45 percent.
Other: I just want to learn computers well, its hardware and software, and my special interest is in AI, so that, why I chose it. First improvement I will suggest they have to make is to make alumni so that students can be aware of what is happening right now in industries. Events and fest are amazing. At my university recently, the singer came, and a live performance happened here.

It's an autonomous organisation.
Placements: The rate of recruitment would be moderate, and sometimes create a shortfall in recruitment due to the lack of proper guidance and arrangements. Looking for companies with the highest salary packages above 5 LPA but the moderate package would be below 3.6 LPA, and it was mostly the core segments only.
Infrastructure: This was a kind of conservative and also autonomous college. Libraries were like a mini knowledge hub with maximum collections of books and also available with soft copies which should be accessible by all the students studying in the college. The special access card for visiting libraries and laboratories was provided to all the students.
Faculty: Teachers with a lot of policies and good timing sense to cope up with the academic education. Teachers were good at dressing to make us admire them with their teaching techniques. Teachers were naturally enriched with a lot of knowledge and taught deeply about the activities to be conducted for the welfare of students.
