College is good, but not the best, as it is not in a crowded area. Teachers are good.
Placements: My percentage is 6 CGPA. Many companies hire students from our college, like Tech Mahindra, Wipro, TCS, and HBL. It offers the best packages. The highest package offered ranges from 10-50 LPA. The college trains students. It offers internships, which is good for education.
Infrastructure: It has the best lab, which I have seen in college. There is no good Wi-Fi. The library is good and luxurious. Galgotia University has a good cafeteria, and all types of healthy food are available. The mess is good for freshers, and it is very hygienic.
Faculty: Teachers are very helpful and kind. They support the all time and explain well, which is good for students. There are a bit hard exams. There should be very high learning. My 2 semesters are finished.
Other: I chose B.Sc in Biotechnology because it has very high future growth all over the world. The campus life is good. It organsies concerts and fests.

All pros and cons of Galgotais university.
Placements: About 90% of eligible students get an average placement of about 6-7 LPA. The highest package for the 2027 batch is at 60 LPA. Companies like Infosys, Capgemini, HCL, Microsoft, and Apple hire students from Galgotias University. Virtual internships are provided to every student in B.Tech. As for walk-in internships, there are always some kind of programs going on on campus which can lead to internships, and in many cases, PPO.
Infrastructure: The biggest positive, in my opinion, about the new AI and Data Science building is digital classrooms with full campus Wi-Fi coverage. There is also a huge variety of labs, like the fabrication lab, drone lab, and electrical circuits lab. Recently, we also got an NVIDIA supercomputer, which allows students to get exposure to technology we never could on our own. The food at the canteen and mess is hygienic and edible. It's not restaurant quality, but it's not incredible, either. There are multiple 24/7 first aid facilities on campus. There is a basic gym in the hostel premises, as well as multiple game courts, such as badminton.
Faculty: Most teachers at Galgotias University are appropriately qualified. There are some outliers, but most of them are helpful. The new hands-on, active learning curriculum is based on industry requirements, so it's great to have. Semester examinations are above average in terms of difficulty, but scoring high can also lead to a small scholarship from the college. The pass percentage for practical and theory combined is at 40%.
Other: Galgotias University has a huge and very active student body named Galgotias Student Council, which contains more than 30 clubs from all fields, like tech, cultural, gaming, designing, etc. This gives exposure to different skills for students. Galgotias University also hosts the biggest fest in the north, known as Unifest, which is a 3-day fest where the first day is tech-oriented and the other two are cultural, with awesome artists like Raftaar, Darshan Raval, and the Suliman Brothers having performed.

The college has strict management rules and regulations, but with good faculty and infrastructure.
Placements: Infrastructure is quite comfortable for skill development, as the whole campus is Wi-Fi enabled and equipped with modern lecture halls and a library with ACs, along with enough canteens for the whole crowd, offering decent food and ample space for sports & games. Especially for us, Mechanical Branch students, a whole workshop is dedicated to our learning and hands-on experiences.

Faculty: I am totally satisfied with our faculty, as they never made us feel like there's a gap between students and professors. They are very practical and give us the freedom to think outside the box and perform tasks on our own. They always motivate each one of us to participate; although due to strict rules and regulations from the management, they are bound to keep a tight check on our academics and attendance as well.
Other: For me, Mechanical Engineering has always been an exciting field because of my family's business in the same area. I grew up seeing machines and advanced tech. The workshop here at LLOYD, equipped with a Done lab and Lithium battery development center, allowed me to enjoy and grow my knowledge.

One has to sacrifice their college life for good placement, and the college doesn't have a campus.
Placements: College aims for 100% placement, but, it totally depends on students how they study throughout their college life, as companies are there that offer decent packages, and there are mass recruiters. The highest package is around 40 LPA, and the lowest is 3 LPA. The average is around 7 LPA. Microsoft, Adobe, and a few other companies visit for placements. Students get decent opportunities, and the college management tries to train every student to meet industry standards. About 80% of students get placed in college for sure and also get internships. Top roles offered were software engineers or web developers, as far as I know.
Infrastructure: Wi-Fi is an issue here, and the network doesn't work well. However, there are libraries, and they are pretty modern. There are hostels inside the college campus, but they are expensive. There are options nearby that are cheaper and provide more freedom and more facilities than hostels inside the campus.
Faculty: Faculty members here are highly qualified, as this college is considered one of the most pleasing private colleges in this area, so the facilities here are the best in the area, and they are highly experienced. They know what to teach and how to teach; just the thing needed here is a bit of relationship-building from the teachers' side, as the college overall is considered strict on academics.
Other: This place is affordable compared to other cities like Pune and Bangalore, and people from North India don't have a hard time going back to their hometown. Events here are rare. This college focuses on studies more than anything. The only event one can have is the freshers. There is nothing else. Some programs are only for hostel students.

Satisfied with the infrastructure, teachers, staff, and placements.
Placements: About 70-75% of students were placed at high-paying companies from my batch. The highest package offered was 35 LPA, and the lowest varied around 6 LPA. Students got paid internships as well in companies like Paytm, HCL, etc. Although placements and internships totally depend on the ability and the skills of the student, which are totally taken care of by the teachers.
Infrastructure: Our college has every required facility like a library, Wi-Fi, labs, playground, seminar hall, mess, canteen, air-conditioned classrooms, etc. The hostel is very clean and student-friendly. There are sports coaches as well who are professionals.
Faculty: The teachers who taught me were highly qualified professionals from reputed universities. The course definitely makes you industry-ready as there's a high demand for employees in the IT field. The semester exams were not too easy or too hard; the pass percentage was 40%.
Other: I chose this course as I had an interest in the Computer Science field, coding languages, etc. Our college could improve its infrastructure and management. Although there are so many events that they prepare and perform, which are so enjoyable.

Decent college, depends on you. Average but worth It, not perfect but still going.
Placements: Honestly, placement opportunities are average, but students who work on their skills and stay consistent can achieve good results. Around 80% of students get placed. The highest package is 11 LPA, the lowest package is 2 LPA, and the average package is 3.5 LPA. Top recruiting companies include Wipro, TCS, etc.
Infrastructure: Classrooms and labs are usable, but there is definitely room for improvement, especially in facilities and maintenance. Wi-Fi and some equipment could be better.
Faculty: Teachers are helpful most of the time and try to explain things clearly, especially if you show interest. Of course, like any college, some faculty are better than others.
Other: I do like the environment. You get to meet different kinds of people, make friends, and take part in events, fests, and activities. Those moments honestly make college life more enjoyable. The college arranges many festivals for student enjoyment and also conducts cultural fests. My experience at this college is decent overall. It is not perfect, but it is not bad either.
