A good college to learn and improve.
Placements: Not many students got placements from my college. The percentage of students who got the placement in my course in 2024 is 20 to 30%. Top recruiting companies are TCS, Wipro, Cognizant, HP, and Capgemini, but not many placements. The highest salary package is 3.6 LPA, and the lowest package is 1.2 LPA. The top role offered by the company is a data operator.
Infrastructure: Infrastructure is average but decent, still needs some improvement. Wi-Fi is not available for children, labs are decent in every classroom, everything works fine, but they need better bathroom facilities. Some buildings are old but strong and good for learning and studying.
Faculty: Some teachers are very good and supportive, but some teachers do not even care if students do anything wrong. The courses provided here do not make students industry-ready. I am from Uttar Pradesh. We are learning industry-ready courses like a data entry operator and an office executive. The passing percentage of the BB college is 70 to 80 percent, while the passing percentage is 45 percent.
Other: I chose this course because I wanted to study Computer Science, and GNIOT College is the only good and affordable private college in my city that provides this course in English. Anybody can get a scholarship if they score more than 60% so that's a good scheme provided by the government and GNIOT College. Extracurricular activity we have NSS.

Absolutely satisfied with campus, good placement in 2022.
Placements: According to me, a good number of students are placed; approximately 80 to 90 percent of the students are placed every year in different companies. Good companies also come, but for shortlisting, there is a selection criterion, and purely merit-based admission is taken.
Infrastructure: Infrastructure and the hostel are just amazing. The best campus in Delhi NCR. A lot of facilities are provided, like Wi-Fi, labs, a library, and AC in classrooms. There are 5 canteens in the college, a few of them being Healthy Hut, Green Chilli, Nescafé, and Big Treat.
Faculty: Teachers are good, but in the core branches, the teachers are outstanding. There are basically three exams that take place in a semester: two mid-semester exams and one end-of-semester exam, and it is easy to pass those exams.
Other: I chose this course because it is the best option for me and also because of the highest placement rate in the NCERT region.

Good infrastructure with decent placements and a satisfactory experience.
Placements: 60 to 70 percent of students from my course got placed. The highest package went above 10LPA, while the average is around 3.5 to 4 LPA. Companies like TCS, Wipro, Infosys and a few startups visited our campus. Nearly 40 percent of students got internships in software development or IT support roles. Most of the roles offered were Software Developer, QA Engineer, Support Engineer and Data Analyst.
Infrastructure: The infrastructure of my department is quite good. The classrooms are clean and equipped with projectors, and the campus Wi-Fi works well most of the time. The labs have the required systems and software, and the library is spacious with enough study material and seating space. The hostel facilities are also decent.
Faculty: The faculty in my course is generally helpful and knowledgeable, though the teaching quality varies from teacher to teacher. Some explain concepts very clearly, while others follow a more traditional approach. The curriculum is decent and covers the important subjects, but students still need to put in extra effort to become fully ready. Semester exams are moderate in difficulty neither too easy nor too tough. If you attend classes and prepare well, passing is not a problem, and the overall pass percentage stays fairly high.
Other: I chose this course because I am genuinely interested in the field and felt it offered good career opportunities. The best part about the course is the amount of practical exposure we get through labs and projects. I wish there are more hands on workshops and industry interactions to make the learning experience even better.

Great for studies only, no enjoyment.
Placements: The college has good placement records in all of the courses, but I think the placement in ME is not good enough. According to my seniors, most of the time companies do not visit for the ME students. Students have to ask for the placement to call itself, as there are no placements for ME students.
Infrastructure: Classrooms are equipped with all facilities, including smart projectors. Wi-Fi is available on every floor. Labs are also good, like the PPS and Electrical Engineering lab, and workshops are also good. Hostel infrastructure is fine, and the quality of mess food is also good.
Faculty: Teachers are really very helpful for exams. They offer every material related to the quizzes and semester exams and help a lot. There are 2 quizzes per week that are converted into internal marks. Overall, if you submit all of your tutorials or assignments, you will get good marks.
