Dissatisfied college and poor faculty members.

Placements: At Galgotias University, there are too much of placements but the package is very low. Top recruiting companies are Wipro, HCL, Tata, Microsoft, and Google. 60% of students got internships in my course at Wipro, HCL, Microsoft, etc. Wipro company is the most hiring company at Galgotias University according to my course.

Infrastructure: Infrastructure is good. But the facilities provided by the college are also good. Quality of facility in hostel is quite bad. The mess food is also not good. There are not that much of sports. The medical facilities provided by the college are good.

Faculty: Faculty members at this university are very bad. There is no certain curriculum and nothing comes from their end. Anything that comes from the university like datasheet, practical, jury, and everything is not up to date. Exams are postponed at the same time as the exams are held.

Overall good because, if you compare it with other colleges in terms of money and all.

Placements: I opted for Bachelor of Design which is of 4 years and around 60+ students in each section of the batch, and from each section, 100 percent of them get an internship that is provided by the university in the 4th year for 6 months. After that, more than 40+ secured jobs in a good reputation in the design industry, and among 30% secured top designer roles like UI/UX, graphic, motion design, and product designers. Top recruitment companies are from companies like EY, Mahindra, Deloitte, Jio, L&T, and many more. Top roles offered are like UI/UX Designer, Product Designer.

Infrastructure: All classrooms have multiple smart boards (more than 4) and Wi-Fi. The college has a huge library for every stream. Hostels have a huge mess and in the campus cafeteria, there are more than 50 canteens. For sports, there is a court for basketball, football, and a cricket ground. There is also a special area for archery. You can join the sports club and participate in any sports. There is also NCC and NSS in the university, and more than 30 clubs run in the university.

Faculty: All teachers are NET JRF or Ph.D. qualified. Teachers are very helpful. The course makes the students industry-ready, as they provide internships to grab industry standards. Semester exams are divided into two: one is mid-term of 50, and the end-term of 100 marks, and also involve 2 Internal Assessments of 25 marks. The pass percentage is 33% overall.

Other: The university is too far from the posh area, so make sure you get a seat in the university hostel because the hostel seats fill up very fast, and if not, you have to come from local transport, which will cost you a check of money every day.
