My college is great; others should consider enrolling. All the teachers are very good and helpful.

Placements: In my college, we discuss campus and placement opportunities. Many of my seniors received placements through the college, which makes the process seem quite easy.

Not fully satisfied with studies and placements, and I hope our staff should work on it.

Placements: As per our college, they provide placements, and many companies and brands show an interest in our college. According to my view, if you are well and good in studies and attend daily classes and labs, you will be able to get placement offers in college.

Infrastructure: Our college provides facilities like labs, Wi-Fi, library and many more things that help us study easily. You can enjoy your studies and college life. If you are regular, then it will help you with future placements and exams.

Faculty: The faculty are good and helpful, but I am sure that after Covid, classes are not regular, and the faculty are not taking an interest and students too. Many people are not regular to college after the pandemic.

Other: I chose B.Pharma because I have an interest in the medical field. My batch has good students. There is no fest or event organised by our college after Covid, so I would like to request the college to conduct some events and fests so that all students get together and enjoy their college life.

2Placements2Infrastructure3Faculty2Crowd & Campus Life2Value for Money

It is unworthy of your time, money and talents.

Placements: Students got placed by the university is less than 10% of total enrolled students. No such information is been provided to us for low to high salary packages. Students received placements in many pharma and tech companies. Students have to seek outside sources other than university for internships. The roles that are offered are below par.

Infrastructure: Wi-Fi isn't good for students. Mess is messy and the quality of food is below average. We have a poor sports and games faculty. Library is well maintained with all the books available. Classrooms are messy big and need a lot of improvement. Labs have similar issues with it.

Faculty: Teachers and everyone is very helpful. Passing semesters are not so tough because papers are set so easily. Security is tight while giving exam but students get to cheat. Students can't get industrial level ready from this college.

Other: I chose this course to learn and keep myself educated to have good life ahead. Students and teachers must coordinate well with each other.

The college is worth joining and is good for personality development.

Placements: Placements are average. You have to decide between opting for placements or GATE, ESE etc. Infosys company is the mass recruiter of our college. For the off-campus placements, you have to go to the nearby colleges like GL Bajaj, etc., and fulfil their criteria to appear for off-campus placements. The lowest package you may get is 2.3 LPA, and the highest package depends on your skills. The average package offered is 3.5 LPA. The placement cell is of Infosys which teaches you their course on weekends and prepares you for placements in the 4th year. Many students get placed in Infosys if they are capable and working throughout their B.Tech course to get placed.

Infrastructure: The infrastructure of our college is superb, and it's one of the best infrastructures in entire India. The IIT professor, Mr N. Vyas has also assured it when he was invited as a guest for a function conducted in the seminar hall. Cleanliness is very good, and you will never feel bored with the atmosphere in the college. One can feel freshness on the campus as there are fragrant flowers, beautiful trees and butterflies. Hostels are huge and clean, and the hostel fee including food is around Rs. 1 lac per individual to avail a 3-seater room. For single seater, you have to pay Rs. 1.2 lacs. This fee structure is related to the year 2019. Generally, the fee of both types of rooms increases by Rs. 5,000 every year.

Faculty: Some of the faculty members are genius, and some are not. It depends on your luck and the performance of your class which faculty may teach you. Anyways, it can be said that all the faculty members are cooperative. Moreover, the college is student-friendly, so you can tell your problems to your department faculty or directly to the head HOD. The other way is there is a suggestion box which is open for all the students at all the time during college hours. Your problem will be heard and solved if it is genuine. There are cameras in every classroom to monitor the teaching methodology as well as to know whether the teacher pays attention to every student. The students have to listen to the class, else they can be easily noticed.

Other: Events like Scrolls, Robo Race, Robo War, anchoring, business plans, management events, etc., are held in the college frequently, and you can take part in it without having a loss in the attendance. As the students get PC where the attendance will be counted even if the students are attending any event. The crowd is calm and peaceful, and 50% of the students are from NCR region, and the rest 50% of the students are from UP.
