Satisfied with the teaching but not with the placement.
Placements: At least 10 per cent of students were placed in my batch, and they also sent non-IT roles to the placement cell group. The package is up to 3.5 to 5 LPA, and they also send companies like Media.Net, Bigul, and customer support roles in the IT placement cell.
Infrastructure: The library is good, but no Wi-Fi is provided. I also found a couple in the library, which is disturbing. They should remove them from the library. The quality of food is good in the canteen, and the college also supports sports, in which I have taken part. Medical support is also provided by the college.
Faculty: Teachers are helpful, but not all teachers are the same; some do favouritism depending upon who is in the council and who is not. All the teachers are qualified and knowledgeable. The teaching quality is also good, and they explain all the topics thoroughly. The exam pattern is also good.

Astonishing campus life at SPIT, where competition challenges you.
Placements: 100% placement every year. The training and placement team is also brilliant. I personally work with one of the officials in the TPO. I see mock interviews, and the training is amazing, with companies like PhonePe coming and hiring students, which is a very good thing.
Infrastructure: There is no hostel, so minus for that. Wi-Fi is unlimited, and every corner of our college has it. Labs and classrooms are air-conditioned. Canteen is top-notch, with amazing food at a reasonable price.
Faculty: Teachers are excellent, mostly having completed their Ph.D. Course curriculum is highly relevant. The semester exams are very difficult. It is very competitive, with evaluation going on almost every day, which in turn makes students study all the time. Question papers are difficult. Pass percentage cannot be predicted. Courses are a bit difficult, and grading is tough.

Good college, decent placement, good faculty, but the syllabus is outdated.
Placements: 60% get placed in decent companies. The highest placement was 7.5 LPA, and the lowest was 2.9 LPA. The average placement is about 3 LPA. Top recruitment companies are Mahindra and Mahindra, Godrej, etc. There is no internship program. Software development, DevOps, and analysis are the top roles offered.
Infrastructure: Wi-Fi is available in the lab and library. The classroom is okay and decent, but not that comfortable. As a day scholar, I don't know the hostel. The canteen is decent, and the turf is good, but they give free passes to play very few times. Turf without a pass is paid.
Faculty: The faculty is good. They understand their subjects well and provide some guidance. The curriculum is not that relevant. It is outdated, with very little industrial experience and knowledge. The semester is not that difficult. The subjects are of good interest, but the 1st year was really hectic as a post-Corona batch, which made it very different to cope with the syllabus.
Other: At this percentage, I got CS, which is decent for me, and it is near the station, so travelling is less.

The college has value-for-money, and good infrastructure too.
Placements: There are all kinds of crowds in my college. There are more in-house quota students than new students. I am in my second year. I don't know about the highest, the lowest or the average package of this college. I had an internship in college in my first year, in a call centre, but I left that job because it was too far from my house and I was not able to manage study plus a job. Top recruiting companies for my course are in the banking sector, like HDFC and SBI.
Infrastructure: My college has one of the best infrastructures. Labs, classrooms and the library are too good, but they don't share their Wi-Fi passwords. This is one of the major problems, and another is that the washrooms are very congested. They are built in a very small area, and there are mirrors in the washrooms. The canteen facility is good, but it has limited items. The sports facility is excellent.
Faculty: The teaching staff is good, and the teaching is also good. Teachers are well knowledgeable, and they are highly qualified. The course makes the students industry-ready, but till now, I am not ready. The examination is very difficult. I also suffered from 2 backlogs, but I have cleared that.
Other: In the 11th and 12th, I had taken commerce. In this college, I completed my 11th and 12th. I want to take BMS, but I didn't give the CET for BMS, that's why I took the B.Com (Accounting and Finance) course. There are amazing events in this college.

Semester exams can be challenging, but a regular student can easily score well. The attendance is mandatory, and you have a clinical as well. The hospital is assigned to you, and you get practical knowledge there.
