It is an excellent place to study, but there are not many good placement opportunities.

Placements: As far as placements are concerned, the university at this level has failed to provide placements for its students over years. There are 60 students in our batch, and none of them are placed in any on-campus placements as there are no such occasions where a company visits the department.

Infrastructure: The infrastructure of classrooms is up to industry standards. There is a proper news studio where you can learn about anchoring, reporting, and interviews, as well as video and photo editing in the computer labs that are here. The infrastructure of the hostel is quite good. The food quality is satisfactory.

Faculty: Our teachers are very helpful and guide you all the time. They are qualified. The course curriculum is relevant. The pass percentage is 30%. You will have to study hard as the paper comes from outside the university.

Other: Placements for this course are the one thing they need to improve. There are a few festivals. Utkarsh is one such event, where three days of activity involve performances by students as well as renowned Bollywood celebrities.

It is the best college in Lucknow for BJMC.

Placements: The B.J.M.C. is only provided by this university in Lucknow. The highest salary package offered is 19 LPA, and the average salary package offered is 6 LPA. Around 80% of students get placed in various companies like Wipro, etc. The role offered are editors, editor-in-chief, and others.

Infrastructure: The department of this university is of high class. The infrastructure is top-notch provided by various security majors as well. The campus is fully Wi-Fi-based. Each department has laboratories for its own. The food quality of mess in a hostel is average as others. But the infrastructure and sports in this university are on other levels as it has its stadium also known as Akhilesh Das Cricket Stadium.

Faculty: Faculty members are highly educated and cheerful. They are very frank with their students and always tries to help students in every sense. The dean and head of the department always listen to their students for the betterment of the college.

Other: Utkarsh is an official fest of this university, and it is the biggest college fest in Northern Uttar Pradesh.

Students will feel that they are in a historical monument, and it has very beautiful environment.

Placements: The college is good for studies, but it is not at all good for placements. Very few companies visit the campus, and hardly any student gets selected. I would recommend students not to expect placements from this college. Since my time in this college, I saw that it does not offer any professional courses, and students are not placed. However, a few companies visit the college to recruit the students every year, and many students get placed here. There is no proper placements process here. During our final year, IT college has begun offering MBA courses also. I hope students get placed with good salary packages.

Infrastructure: There is a white building constructed separately for commerce department. There is another separate building for B.A. department. Labs are also there. It has a huge campus with a lot of amenities like a basketball court, football ground, cricket pitch, undergraduate library, auditorium, canteen with every type of food like junk food, healthy food, homemade food and snacks shop, etc. Wi-Fi facility is available for all. Hostels are well-maintained as well.

Faculty: Teachers are helpful and supportive. Exams depend upon your will Power. IT College is known for its excellent faculty members. I was an English student, and I was taught by one of the best English teachers in the state. The course curriculum was good and allowed great scope for divergent thinking and analysis of human life.
