My review about this college.
Placements: The placement is pretty good as many companies came for recruitment. After the 3rd semester, you are eligible for internships. Many good companies like Wipro, HCL, Accenture, and TCS visit our campus to recruit students. There is a separate placement cell that offers placements to students and also guides them about the trending environment and company requirements; students only need to stay in contact with the placement in-charges. The highest package offered to a student is about 18 LPA, and the average package is 5 LPA. Interviews and skill tests are conducted, after which students are placed.
Infrastructure: In the hostel room, a bed and a study table are provided. There is also a separate bathroom, so you are not disturbed and can easily focus on your studies. You can stay in single or double occupancy rooms. The room cost is very high. The quality of food provided by the hostel is good and hygienic.
Faculty: The course curriculum is good enough, covering skills as well as theory topics. Every week there is a lab day where practicals happen, and the teachers’ teaching is also very good. A maximum number of faculty members have Ph.D. degrees, and all other teachers have at least completed their post-graduation in their respective subjects. They know both teaching techniques, that is smart board learning and normal learning. They focus on every single student and help them overcome problems in courses. The exam pattern follows a semester system. Exams are tough enough, but they increase reading habits. Going to classes and labs on a regular basis is compulsory because short attendance can lead to being not allowed to appear for examinations. A minimum of 75 percent regular attendance is required.

It's average in every aspect.
Placements: As far as I know, placements are better than any other college in Greater Noida. It is good in placements but not the best, as it is a 3-tier college. While it’s not the best in placements, it’s better compared to other colleges in Knowledge Park 3, but you can have better options.
Infrastructure: The hostel is average. Food is the worst. The course is great with no complaints about it. The hostel needs a lot of improvement, especially in terms of hostel management. Recently, there was a fire in the hostel mess, but we were unaware of it until there was shouting, and that’s when we found out.
Faculty: Faculty is average. The first semester was great in terms of faculty, but now they lack quality. The exams are good, as there are revision papers and many other exams every month. Recently, I gave 2-3 exams, but after a while, you will feel burdened by all the exams.

Infrastructure: Labs have sufficient equipment, but all the equipment is too old. Some don’t work. Wi-Fi doesn’t work. It provides a network at a very slow speed. Hostel rooms are average, but the washrooms are very dirty. The hostel food tastes so bad that you will sleep without eating.
Faculty: Teachers are knowledgeable, but due to strict actions, students don’t like to go to classes. Some teachers’ teaching quality is good. College has its own syllabus, so it is good for us, but we can’t find any YouTube channels to study. Semester exams are average, and about 90 percent of students pass the exam.
Other: I chose this course because ECE has both placement opportunities in software and hardware.
