Good placements, great campus life, and very supportive faculty.
Placements: The placement scene here is actually quite good. If you put in the work and keep your CGPA up you're almost guaranteed a job. I've seen some great brands come here like TCS, Cisco, Garuda Aerospace, etc. One of the best colleges in Greater Noida.
Infrastructure: Really impressed with the Lloyd College campus. The classrooms are spacious and fully air-conditioned which makes a big difference during the summer. The hostels are decent and the cafeteria serves a good variety of food. It's a very comfortable and professional environment to study.
Faculty: The college is a good choice. The faculty members are helpful and know their subjects well. They don't just lecture. They actually help with your doubts. The curriculum is pretty up-to-date and covers what you actually need for a job. Exams are fair and if you attend classes and study a bit you'll be fine. Placements are the best and the placement team really pushes you to get a good package. The infrastructure is modern with clean labs and a good campus vibe. Total value for money.
Other: I chose this course because I've always been into tech and wanted a career that has a lot of growth. The best thing about this course here is the hands-on learning. We don't just sit in lectures. We spend a lot of time in the labs working on actual projects.

I am satisfied that my time and energy are being used in the right and efficient way.
Placements: I am currently in 1st year but I have heard from many senior students of our institution that the placement rate is decent enough. Even seniors get opportunities to work (internship) with good companies like HCL and Vivo. The faculty has also assured us that if we do hard work and work smartly, there is no way of not getting a good placement.
Infrastructure: The infrastructure of our college is excellent. We have updated labs and comfortable accessories like a table, chair, etc. The classroom is also air-conditioned. The building has an elevator as it has many floors and they're all high-end in working.
Faculty: Faculty are highly professional in their teaching and well-qualified. The curriculum is well structured and covers fundamental concepts. Exams have a decent standard according to the respective courses and subjects. Overall, my experience has been positive.
Other: Events and fests are really enjoyed on the campus. Connectivity with faculty and seniors is relaxing. The college encourages us to participate according to our interests in cultural or extracurricular activities.

I don't like my college and wish I could change it.
Placements: They say 80% or 70% placement, but that isn't real, only 7 out of 10 students get placed, and it's titled as 70% placed. The highest package is 30 LPA+, and the lowest is 2-3 LPA. They don't allow internships in the 3rd year, and in the 4th year, we mostly have to find them ourselves. Companies like Zoom, Adidas, IBM, TCS, Bosch, Capgemini, Amazon, Mindtree, and NTT recruit.
Infrastructure: The infrastructure is not that good. The college has just one building in front, and from the back, it's only the ground, not much space. The canteen is not so good, just below average. The library is also not that good, we are allowed to sit there in our free time. There is no Wi-Fi. Classrooms have AC, but out of 3, 1 or 2 are not in good condition, and only some classrooms are cooled by AC.
Faculty: The exams affiliated with AKTU University are bad. Our exam was postponed just 2.5 hours before the scheduled time. The checking is too bad. Teachers focus only on academics, but don't teach well, so in the end, we study from YouTube. I don't find the course curriculum very relevant. If I study just my college course, I haven't learned any language until now, as my 2nd year is completed. My classmates who focus only on academics don't know the concepts or coding, they just learn and write.
