Top hiring firms for my course include TCS, Wipro, Infosys, Capgemini, and Mindtree. 40 LPA is the largest wage package offered, 3.5 LPA is the lowest, and 4.5 LPA is the average. Many students secure internships at prestigious firms like Wipro, etc.
    Infrastructure: The facilities at our college are excellent. There is always high-speed Wi-Fi available on campus and in every classroom. Every lab, library, and classroom has contemporary amenities. Professors use projectors to instruct us. Although the canteen offers a wide range of meals, the quality of the food is good. Additional medical amenities are provided. This organization offers a range of sports.

    Overall, the best college for the MCA course.
    Placements: During my study period, about 77% of students were assigned to their family companies. The highest package offered was 25 LPA, and the lowest was 5 LPA. Accenture, Tech Mahindra, and NVIDIA were among the leading recruiters. The top positions offered in the course included software engineer, software developer, and similar roles. Approximately 75% of students receive internship opportunities.
    Infrastructure: Our college’s infrastructure was subpar, although improvements were being considered. Wi-Fi facility had a capacity of 35 Mbps. Libraries lacked a suitable collection of books. The mess facilities of Ramanujan Boys Hostel were adequate, but the meals served were unhygienic. There was a clinic on campus, but, most of medications prescribed by doctors had to be purchased elsewhere.
    Faculty: Teachers were good. Some of teachers were really knowledgeable, but only a handful. The study curriculum was also acceptable. One thing was certain study schedules weren’t hectic. There was plenty of time to engage in other pursuits. Exams were not difficult at all, simply paying attention in class was enough. The pass rate was 87%.

    Moderate level of college.
    Placements: 50.6-61 percent of candidates from the department of MCA had succeeded in the recruitment journey of 2025, and so on for the previous sets; such percentages are greater. TCS is one of the foremost companies that hires at least 5 percent of students from all the departments with a 3.6 CTC annually.
    Infrastructure: College with various principles to maintain their dignity at all times. College was successfully running for more than a year, and all the issues were addressed in the management and other responsibilities. And a guide will be arranged by them to assist students properly with all the problems.
    Faculty: The professor skips various topics to rush in finishing the portions, and concentrates on examinations and the results to show the highest academic results. Both the online and offline resources are prepared by professors on their own, but such notes are complete and include questions.

    My review about this college.
    Placements: Most of the students got internship and placement offers in hand in 5th semester itself. If any student could not make it, department provided internships to him under the guidance of any faculty members. Placements were good. Many companies provided training like Wipro, TCS, and Infosys. Students have the best future, they have many packages of our college starting salary Rs 25,000 so students have the best opportunity and they improve their knowledge. It was at that stage that it all depends on skills the more you learn, the more opportunities you get in big companies.
    Infrastructure: They mostly help us to find the course to choose with our ability and skills a course like they tell what a course has and nice. Also, they had to listen to students' suggestions for studying. The exam timing and a bit harder last time more mark policies. Accommodation facilities were pretty great, and the entire infrastructure was neatly furnished. Hostel life was eccentric. More or less it depends on your friends. You could choose to have fun or have a studious group or even better, you could maintain a lethargic balance between them.
    Faculty: Faculty members were pretty great and had a relevant amount of industry experience. The classroom lectures were more of a two-way street. The faculty members would prompt us to speak and share our personal views regarding a particular topic. Student performance evaluation was done on the basis of class performance, dissertation report, and external examination. The course curriculum was relevant, but the structure of course was not up to date. Faculty members were good and they helped you understand the concepts. They were well educated and they had doctorate degrees in their field.
