Students get great faculty and nice campus surroundings.

Placements: The percentage of students who got placed in my course was 80-90%. Students got placed in companies. The highest average package of my course was 7.5 LPA, and the lowest average package was 3.5 LPA. Top recruiting companies were Google and Infosys. Around 50-60% of students got internships in companies like Google and Infosys. The top roles offered in these companies were Data Scientist and Data Analyst.

Infrastructure: Facilities and infrastructure available in my department were good. Wi-Fi was available at a very high speed. Labs were modern and advanced. The classrooms were modern and digital, with digital blackboards. The library had sufficient books for students. Facilities available in the hostel were very good. The mess and canteen food were also very good. Medical facilities were available in my department. Games were played regularly after regular intervals of classes.

Faculty: Teachers were very helpful, qualified, and knowledgeable. The teaching quality was very good. The course curriculum was relevant and helped students become industry-ready by gaining practical knowledge of statistics. The semester exams were not very difficult, and every student could pass the subjects. The passing percentage of students was 60-70%.

Other: I chose this course because I was interested in analytics and mathematics. The best thing about my course was that it had logical problems that sharpened the mind. Things could have been better by providing more practical knowledge and encouraging a logical approach to solving problems. The events, fests, crowd, campus, and connectivity were very good. The surroundings were also nice. Scholarships were given to eligible students, and extracurricular activities also took place.

An honest review of my course.

Placements: There were about 40–45 percent of students placed in my course. The highest package was 4–6 LPA, and the lowest was about 2–3 LPA. Schools, junior colleges, institutions, and EdTech companies recruited from my course. University-wide, many top companies like Wipro, TCS, Cognizant, Capgemini, Biocon, and Medanta also visited. Generally, students from my course undergo mandatory teaching internships and practice teaching in schools as part of the curriculum. The internship is usually an academic requirement rather than a paid internship. The top roles offered in my course are content developer, educational faculty, and private school teacher.

Infrastructure: The infrastructure and facilities available in my course are quite good. Everything is available, such as spacious classrooms, Wi-Fi, laboratories, computer centers, and a well-stocked library. The hostel facilities are also good, with separate hostels for boys and girls. As well as the provision of bedsheets, study areas, and good security. Food quality and taste are average to good. Most meals are South Indian. The food is hygienic and affordable. Medical facilities, games, and sports facilities are also available.

Faculty: Teachers are quite good. They are helpful and knowledgeable. There are well-qualified faculty members who help with all problems. The curriculum is relevant and makes students industry-ready in the teaching profession, not for corporate or private industry. The exams conducted here are moderately difficult. The passing percentage is about 40%, and scores of 40–45 percent are generally considered passing.

Other: I personally chose this course because, since childhood, my dream was to become a teacher, and I want a good work-life balance, which I will get from it. I wish to improve placement opportunities, paid internships (which are not provided), more modern teaching tools, and better industry exposure. Regular cultural events, fests, seminars, and sports meets are conducted here. There is a large campus with a diverse student crowd and good connectivity to Guntur and Vijayawada by road and rail. Scholarships are also provided to eligible students.

A review of Bapatla Engineering College.

Placements: During 2024, there were no placements in our college and most of them were BPO roles. The majority were non-IT jobs so I did not get good exposure to placements. But now I see my junior getting placed, which seems to much better than my era. This is about placement.

Infrastructure: Classrooms are good but there is no Wi-Fi. Initially there is but after my second year there is no Wi-Fi. The lab infrastructure is good. The library is the best you can get exposure to all books and it's open and you get time to learn new things. This is about my experience.

Faculty: The teachers are talented. The topics are very curriculum relevant to outside of tech-related. I like programming lectures as they are very talented but some other lecturers are psycho. They are talented and they have good skills in explaining.

Other: I would say the average during our batch is not many events going on, but currently I think it has improved.

A good college in the nearby surroundings or in the entire Guntur district.

Placements: I am in the 2nd batch in AI & ML. It's a very good department. The highest package is 20 LPA up to now. The college has high potential, but it is not using it right now and is heading back to the 1990 format even now. They need to upgrade a lot by investing the funds they have.

Infrastructure: We have very good facilities with good Wi-Fi, computers in the lab, and so on. Classrooms need to develop a lot. Students should have a basic allowance for Wi-Fi usage in the classrooms. The main thing I don't like is that they won't allow laptops to be used in the running class, as they do in university. This needs to be changed.

Faculty: The curriculum is good, but it needs to improve a lot. They are very lacking in subjects in the curriculum and need to upgrade according to newer technologies. They need to keep N8N automation and many more. Faculty should have basic knowledge of the advancements in the world and need to inculcate these into students.

Other: They need to restrict some rules and expand college a little bit.
