It is good for low budget students as well as looking for scholarship opportunity.

Placements: Percentage of placement is very less like 2/40. Some paid and some unpaid internships are offered. No big companies or MNCs are represented in this college. The startup company's approach is good, and they took some students.

Infrastructure: Everything is fine and available like Wi-Fi, labs, classrooms, library, conference hall, playground, park, etc. There is a hostel but none of the students stay there and take a PG or room near the college. Canteen is there. Medical facilities are there. Sports and games can be played on the ground attached to the college.

Faculty: Most of the teachers are knowledgeable, and they are supportive in every manner. Course curriculum is very nice because students can choose their specialisation in the industry. Before the semester exams, there is a unit test for revision, which makes the pass percentage good but not 100%.

Other: The best thing about choosing this course is my passion for becoming a software engineer on a very low budget. Events, fests, connectivity, campus surroundings, scholarship up to 80-90%, extracurricular activities, etc., all the stuff are good.

College is good in terms of education but the thing is crowd is very high.

Placements: The packages provided in placements are very low according to the market for master's students. The criteria is also very high likely even for 4 LPA to 5 LPA package, you must have no backlogs 7 plus CGPA, and specific tech skills that are not included by the college.

Infrastructure: Infrastructure is good but crowd is high in the classrooms. Sometimes the Wi-Fi is also not working. As Galgotias is on outer side, the network is also very poor. You can even call or text someone, and the food in the cafeteria is also overpriced according to the quality.

Faculty: Some faculty members are rude but a maximum number of faculty members are supportive. The faculty members prepare PPTs and internal assistments. There is also feedback given by the student to the faculty. Management also focuses on the reviews, and you can ask any sort of doubt in the staff room.

Other: College is focusing on the theory section more than the practice work.

My review of this college.

Placements: Placement cell of the college is very active, and they call the students for campus placements from the 4th semester. Companies that visit the campus are Amazon, Uber, Deloitte, Wipro, TCS, Adani, etc. College offered good placement opportunities for students interested in getting themselves employed. Almost 75-80% of students get placed every year. Average package is around 5 to 6 LPA and further depends on the student's skills. Highest package was around 20-25 LPA. Our college offers job opportunities as well as internships. College also trained us properly before the placement.

Infrastructure: Computer lab is good for understanding those things by yourself. Hostel facility was good, also they were available at a reasonable price. Mess food quality was too good, and there are also separate as well as shared rooms available in the hostel.

Faculty: Faculty members are highly qualified and they are keen on teaching. Teachers knowledge helps in gaining wide knowledge and then helps us to apply it for further research and development in different areas and further studies. Helping, caring, and ready to solve doubts. Exams were of a semester system, where every semester there is 1 end-of-semester exam every six months, and there will be mid-term exams twice in every semester. Also, there will be marks for attendance, which means end-semester exams are of 70 marks and mid-term exams are of 20 marks each. Course curriculum is good. They allow us to gain knowledge in a wide range of prospects and apply it practically. Curriculum knowledge helps in gaining wide knowledge and then helps us to apply it for further research and development in different areas and further studies. Course included various computer programming languages like C, C++, Java, HTML, etc.

Good learning environment and facilities, but placement support needs improvement.

Placements: This year the placement scenario was quite disappointing as no major companies visited the campus for recruitment. However in the previous years placements were relatively good with students getting placed in good companies. The average package earlier used to range between 3 and 4 LPA with the highest package going up to 6 LPA. Only a few students managed internships this year mostly through off-campus efforts. The top roles offered in earlier years included software development system engineer and support analyst. This year's situation was below expectations but hopefully temporary.

Infrastructure: The infrastructure of the college is quite satisfactory. Classrooms are well equipped and labs have the necessary software and systems for practical work. WiFi is available across the department and the library has a decent collection of books. The hostel facilities are good with proper hygiene and maintenance. The mess food is average but manageable and there is a canteen on campus for snacks. Medical facilities are available within the campus, and sports activities like cricket and badminton are regularly organized, promoting a balanced student life.

Faculty: Teachers at LBS are generally helpful, knowledgeable, and well-qualified. Most teachers are supportive and explain concepts well, though teaching quality can vary from teacher to teacher. The course curriculum is decent and covers fundamental concepts, but it needs some updates to align more closely with current industry demands. Semester exams are moderate in difficulty, and with consistent study, students can perform well. The pass percentage is usually high, around 85-90%, and the evaluation process is fair.

Other: The crowd at LBS is average, with students coming from diverse backgrounds. Campus life is decent but not very vibrant. Cultural and technical events do take place occasionally, but not very frequently. There's scope to improve the campus engagement and student activities to make the environment more lively and interactive.

Balanced campus life with good events.

Placements: Around 60%- 70% were placed from our course through campus placement. The highest package was 7.5 LPA, the lowest package was 2.5 LPA, and the average package was 3.5 LPA to 4.5 LPA. Top recruiters included Accenture, Capgemini, IBM, and many more startups. Role offered by a software engineer.

Infrastructure: Our department had well-equipped computer labs, high-speed Wi-Fi, good classrooms, and access to the central library with technical and many other books. Hostel Facilities were decent, with clean rooms and good security. Mess food was average, but the canteen offered more variety.

Faculty: Most of the teachers were well-qualified and supported. The teaching quality was good and also provided other training sections for placement-related. The curriculum was moderately relevant, covered the basics and core concepts, but some industry tools and updated teach are missing, so you have to put in extra efforts.

Other: I chose this course because of my interest in coding and software development.

Infrastructure is good. Bus facilities and the hostel are good.

Placements: In our course, 0% students were placed, because in this college, no core companies visit, only BPO service and consulting companies, which are hiring at low cost, but my course needed the core companies that are not provided by my college. In my class, only one student was placed on HCL on a technical support post.

Infrastructure: Infrastructure and hostel are good and neat and clean, which also provides a good environment to grow. It also provides fully AC classes and 4+ computer labs with Wi-Fi and valuable software that are needed to do work. It provides a full range of subject books available in the library.

Faculty: It provides good and well qualified teachers who hold at least a postgraduate degree in their specific subject areas. These teachers support academic study but typically do not teach advanced courses. All faculty members adhere closely to the syllabus. Each semester includes three assessments, and because of this structure, the passing rate is high.
