Faculty: Each student received a great deal of help from their experienced and informed teachers. The projectors in each classroom were used by the teachers to instruct us. Additionally, the course curriculum was excellent and prepared the students for the workforce. The pass rate for the slightly more challenging semester exams was 55%.

The university is best for the MCA course.

Placements: Every year, about 60% out of 100% of students are referred to our course. The lowest package is 7 LPA, and the maximum package is 35 LPA. Approximately half of students secure internships. Due to the large number of companies that attend our university, students have complete access. This year, almost fifty firms came to visit our campus. UrbanClap, LimeTray, Policy Bazaar, etc., are top recruiters. Software engineers, product managers, and other positions are among the top positions available here.

Infrastructure: The university infrastructure is actually above average and fairly good. It has all the university amenities, including the gym, food court, general store, stationery, etc. Hostels are excellent, and there is a lot of lovely flora. Hostels cuisine is also excellent. Labs lack air-conditioning, but the classrooms are wonderful as well.

Faculty: The university professors are very good because many of them are very helpful, but there are exceptions everywhere, so some professors are not helpful. At least every department of the university is qualified, and all are well-versed in their subjects. Some professors fall behind in explaining the concept. Semester exams are moderate and the pass rate is 75%.

Overall, best university for MCA course.

Placements: Approximately 55% - 70% of students in our course were placed. The highest salary package offered was about 25 LPA and the lowest salary package offered was about 6 LPA. Microsoft, Google, Cognizant, and others were the top recruiting firms here. Approximately 50%-60% of students were able to secure internships. The majority of positions offered were high-level ones like manager.

Infrastructure: Classrooms and library were resources offered in our course. I would have preferred it if they had included Wi-Fi and labs with it. The amount of food supplied to each student was quite small, and quality of food was poor. Sports and medical amenities were not available. Costs in the canteen was extremely expensive.

Faculty: Our college instructors are amiable and have worked in the sector. There were no issues throughout our semester exam. Exams, both online and offline, were administered effectively with mentor assistance. If we pay attention in class, the semester examinations were extremely simple. During exam time, faculty members will assist us with revision. About 90% was the pass rate.
