The placement scenario in this particular branch of chemical engineering is very poor, where only three to four students get placed in mass recruiting companies such as Infosys, etc.

G. L. Bajaj College placement and facilities review.

Placements: I want to say one thing that is this college was good and training and placement cell try to 100 percent job and 100 percent effort for a placement. It fully depends on a student's performance. In this college the highest package was 40 LPA. The lowest package was 3 LPA. In our course it was not much better. There were also top companies like TCS, Accenture, Wipro, Adobe, and Amazon that visited for placements. 80 percent chance of getting an internship from our course. Top roles offered were electronic engineering or embedded engineering.

Infrastructure: The infrastructure of our college was good. There were some problems with the facility system, like Wi-Fi not working properly. The library was modern. Classrooms were decent. Hostel was available on campus, but it was too expensive. Stayed outside and came for class. Mess food was adjustable. Medical facilities were also good. For sports facilities all types of games were available.

Faculty: Faculty were highly educated and knowledge about their teaching. They are more experienced about learning, their teaching qualis also good. Just one thing need that faculty need to build good relationship with student so that all student can easily engaged. Our course is not relevant for placement. Semester examination is not difficult it moderate level and most of the students easy to appear it. I think it passing percentage is 80%. .

The worst college in the town.

Placements: No campus placement offers. There are so many billboards of the college saying that there are 60 LPA and 70 LPA packages, but there is no future from the college they can't even teach how to take an interview. The local companies come for placement but they offer a salary of Rs. 10,000 per month. Is this a salary or cashback.

Infrastructure: Infrastructure is good but hostel food is disgusting, and also they didn't let us go to the park and canteen. Also, in the canteen, the canteen staff charge more than the MRP.

Faculty: The worst faculty I have ever seen in my life. They can't teach us at all, and if we ask a question, they say we will cover this tomorrow and the next day they forget about it. The faculty are always in attitude mode. They can't let you do anything.

College review from up to low and all things included in this, from placements to fests.

Placements: In my college, around 80-90 percent of students got placed. The highest package is 60 LPA. The lowest package is 3 LPA, and the average package is 6 LPA. If you want to get a job through college placements, the top recruiting companies include Infosys, TCS, Google, Atlassian, Adobe, etc. Almost all students who consistently learn the programming languages taught by professors and put in effort on their side get internship opportunities. Companies offering internships include Amazon, Google Summer, LG, NEC, etc. The top roles offered in my college are Software Development Engineer (SDE) and Software Engineer.

Infrastructure: All facilities are good enough in some blocks of my college. There is some issue of AC but other things are better. The hostel facilities are good though but the prices are too high, and the space is not good to live in. It look conjusted. Food is good. Medical and sports are also good enough and the canteen is also good enough for a student to eat food.

Faculty: The teachers are highly qualified in their subjects but almost every teacher doesn't know how to teach. They just complete the syllabus, you have to study on your own but the curriculum is far better than in other colleges. The semester exams are not that tough because my college is autonomous now, so the pass percentage is like 95 percent.

Other: I chose this course because this is the best course in this college in comparison to other colleges. The best things about this course are that you can be placed if you try hard and are focused on your studies. I want to improve my DSA skills and coding. Fests are average in college. The campus crowd is very good. Connectivity can be done by clubs in the college, and the surroundings are good. Scholarship is also good and extracurricular activities are done by students in which they are interested regularly .

ACN College is best for students.

Placements: Placement is decent, not much better compared to others, but it is also better in terms of the fee structure. Placement cell is not yet active. The placement percentage is 60 to 70 percent. The highest package is 13 LPA. The lowest is decent, as expected. Top recruiting companies visit but student talent is not enough to take jobs. So, well-performed students will get a job in modern times. Top recruiting companies are TCS, Bajaj, Paytm, and startups. 50 to 60 percent are going for internships in the current year. Top roles offered by our course are software developer and, data engineer.

Infrastructure: Infrastructure is well designed and all equipment and facilities are available according to the price range. It is a good college in our area. Wi-Fi is modern and provides a high-speed internet connection. Classrooms are decent. Labs are also good. Hostel facilities are also available, but need to be adjusted because sometimes they provide hygienic food. For sports, all facilities are available, and games include multiple types and multiplayer games. Medical facilities are also decent.

Faculty: Faculty is well educated and knowledgeable. Some faculty are qualified with Ph.D. and master's degrees. They use all modern equipment for study. The teaching quality is very good and they explain all concepts in a clear and understandable way. Their representation is good. Our college course is relevant for placement and prepares students for a job. The semester examination is easy and if you go to regular classes and maintain notes, then it is easy to pass. 70 to 80 percent is the pass percentage.

Students got nice placements for the 2025 batch.

Placements: If you work hard, study enough, and try to score well in all your years, you will definitely get a job. If you are active in SIH or project building, you probably will not face any problem finding a job. You should also apply for internships. There are many good opportunities available.

Infrastructure: The infrastructure is very good and very spacious. It is a 40-acre campus. The engineering building is impressive.

Faculty: They have really good and helpful faculty. They are highly qualified and are also helpful if you are interested in publishing your own research paper. They have everything a student needs in a teacher. It is totally worth taking admission.

Other: I chose engineering because I like it. I did not listen to my parents. I am saying this to everybody. Do not rely on someone's opinion. Choose your career wisely. They also organize fests very often so that the students can enjoy their campus life. Overall, it is a good college for this amount of money.
