Good college with a good crowd.
Placements: No placement was available for the BMM/BAMMC courses. However, there were decent placement options for commerce and economics-based Bachelor's and Master's. There were some good companies like Viacom 18, NDTV, and a few major companies. But there were many small startups too.
Infrastructure: A small gym was available. It was good for beginners, and there was a carrom room. Canteen food was good for the price, budget-friendly with a good variety. There was no Wi-Fi and no smart boards in most classes. The turf was huge and the biggest facility of the college. Sports teams and equipment were good. It was great to play sports with friends.
Faculty: Teachers were friendly and always available to clear doubts. The curriculum was relevant, with a lot of practicals like photography and shooting. Semester exams were easy if you paid attention in class. Faculty could improve in terms of attitude.
Other: The college fest Crescendo, was very nice and lively. The pro note was very fun. People should have participated in it.

Dissatisfied because of faculty. The campus and crowd are good. The infrastructure is average.
Placements: No placements provided by the college after completion of the course. We expected the college to provide placements. But nothing was offered after the completion of the course or even during the course. Internships were not provided to us either.
Infrastructure: Infrastructure of the college was average and sufficient for basic academic needs. The classrooms were functional but not very modern. There were network connectivity issues. Wi-Fi was not provided to students. Library had a good collection of books. It was accessible for studying as well.
Faculty: Faculty in the college was pretty average. They provided knowledge about what was going to come in the exams and which important questions should be studied for the same. Curriculum was a little outdated, but in comparison to other colleges in the city, it was similar.

Bad placement, bad management, bad infrastructure, bad facilities, and they only seek money.
Placements: As per now, in 8th semester, no one is placed. The people who are getting placed through off-campus are also facing attendance issues. They are not giving attendance to them and taking money from people with less attendance for giving exam. Placement is very bad, companies that are non-tech who's requirement is that students should know how to drive so that they can deliver in Pune. No one is taking any action over low to no placement, and they are only here for taking money from students.
Infrastructure: There is no Wi-Fi available for students. Labs are good but there are still problems with the printers as there are not much resources in lab. Some computers still work like 90s. Internet is not available many times. Classrooms are like school classrooms even teachers struggle to teach in there. Taking gym fee but the gym is not maintained at all. Taking bus money but services are very poor. We have to take rickshaw to the college many times especially on exam days. Canteen is okay. Sports are done through taking donations from other students, so poor management.
Faculty: Teachers are good there. They are supportive and helpful, but some teachers aren't good. The course curriculum is just so bad. People dependent on the college will have to do job at call center if they do not do self study, they just want attendance and money. Semester exams are okay, not that hard not that normal.
Other: I have chosen the course because I thought I would be able to learn computer more, but as time passed, I understood that nothing is better in there. We cannot learn anything that will work for real life in there. I wish they could improve the support towards more learning than just attendance and money. We don't feel like going there, we only attend most lectures due to attendance. Events are really mid, and campus surroundings are just a hill. I never took part in extra-curricular activities but for me, it's not worth taking part in.

Sportspersons should enroll here for their education, and it is satisfactory.
Placements: The highest salary offered is Rs. 20,000 per month, and the lowest salary offered is Rs. 7,000 per month. Local companies like Dmart, etc., hire students. 20 percent of students got internships, which are unpaid. I don't know about internship companies, and it is not very reputable. Roles like sales executive, accountant, salesperson, and data handling are offered.
Infrastructure: The infrastructure is perfect. The library is not so accessible, but very helpful for exam and book purposes. It has computer labs. Classrooms have a TV and a projector. Everything is neat and presentable. No hostel facility is given. Only the canteen facility is available, which is limited to a level of having average food.
Faculty: Teachers are outstanding. They are very accountable to us. They make us industry-ready. Exams are not very difficult. 80 percent of students pass exams. They take us on industrial visits for 2-3 days and for 7-8 days. Presentation, competition on startups, and a confidence-boosting plan are also being provided there. There are teachers who support a lot through the course, and they are the most perfect part of the college.
Other: Events and fests are organised. Everything is very limited and for a particular time, like sometimes it gets very boring to be in this college. Sports are excellent. Sports persons can enroll here and no attendance problems are faced for them.

Faculty members are very good, especially the data structure sir, is good.
Placements: Placements are offered, but it depends on our CGPA and the knowledge we have. Every year, a lot of companies like TCS, Deloitte, Tech Mahindra, Wipro, etc., hire students, but there are 3 rounds of interviews. The average package ranges from 8-9 LPA. The highest package offered is 12 LPA. There is a good training and placement cell.
Infrastructure: There is no Wi-Fi for students, but there is a practical lab. There is no hostel in college. There is a good canteen in our college. There are 4 lifts.
Faculty: The college is very strict and does not allow copying in the exam. The examination cell is very dangerous if we are caught, then they directly fail us in the exam and fine up to Rs. 3000-5000, and also take the hall ticket of students. They call parents, and till parents do not come, they do not give the hall ticket back. Teachers are good, but some are exceptional.
Other: Every year in March, it organises a fest named Zodiac.

The best thing I loved about my college is I found it average, including the library and labs.
Placements: Nearly 50-60% of students get placed every year. The highest package offered was 7 lakhs, and the lowest is undisclosed. Meanwhile, the average package is nearly 2-3 lakhs. No details of internships have been revealed. The top course in my college is Computer Engineering. This course has good faculty members.
Infrastructure: The Wi-Fi never works. Instead, to avoid using the internet, they have installed a jammer. The canteen isn't worth eating at; it's expensive, and the food is also not good. Every year, the college has sports events in the first week of January. In my college, classrooms are good.
Faculty: The worst faculty I have seen in my whole education career. The exam is very easy. The passing percentage is 40. Since it's an autonomous institution, getting a KT in this college is very difficult. Here, the semester exam is completed in 3 months; the rest is average.
Other: Since I am a fresher, I don't know much about college events, connections, and sports.
