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.
