Good exposure and average placements.
Placements: Only 33 students from our batch are placed till now for techno roles, and also, the opportunities for IT roles are very limited, but for other courses, there are various opportunities. A few known and unknown companies came. For internships, they don't guide, students have to manage by themselves. There is no clear data on previous placements.
Infrastructure: Classrooms are well-maintained with good Wi-Fi, labs are properly equipped, and the library is pretty good with a huge space. I don't stay in hostel but I think it's pretty good. Food in the canteen is okay. They also provide mid-day meals to needy people. Medical support is available, sports are available, but not for all.
Faculty: Teachers are knowledgeable, qualified, and also helpful but at the same time they are repetitive in every semester. Teaching quality is decent. The curriculum or the syllabus is quite good according to the market but still needs improvement. Exams are quite good and the pass percentage is 40 percent.
Other: I chose this course mainly for the exposure and opportunities available in Bangalore. They should include more specialized teachers and more practical guides. Events and all are top-notch.

Above average and decent college, value for money.
Placements: The placements are decent, but most of the roles are catered to Computer Science students, so there is a dent in placements for Data Science in particular. Top roles often offered being AI/ML engineers, software testers, etc., and if you are good with coding, then it will work for you.
Infrastructure: The college infrastructure is good, but a point to note is that the Wi-Fi does not always work and the network is often very slow in the campus buildings, otherwise, the campus, classrooms. Labs are good, and there are canteens around the campus.
Faculty: The curriculum is constantly being updated, so it is definitely better for the juniors than for us, the faculty are very knowledgeable and can help with almost anything when it comes to studies or placement preparation, and it is easy to pass the semester exams as long as there is minimal effort to study.

It is a good college with good workflow and connectivity across the city.
Placements: I am studying BCA at Presidency College, which is a good college in Bangalore. 30 percent of students got placed last year in our course. The highest salary package offered is 10 LPA, and the lowest salary package offered is 4 LPA. Companies like Accenture, Flipkart, IBM, etc., hire students. The placement record of the college has significantly improved over years. There is a very good placement record among all the other colleges.
Infrastructure: The infrastructure is not that great. It is a small college. The college does have Wi-Fi and hostel facilities. The college is doing well in sports and games in recent years and offers a variety of different games for every individual who has different interests in many things.
Faculty: Teachers on campus are very knowledgeable about their respective subjects and are very well qualified. Courses offered make students industry-ready. Semester exams are pretty easy as well. The pass percentage here is 70 percent. Students, faculty, and all the staff members are disciplined, and they have very good communication skills. The college is pretty good. We have been offered very good faculty members for our respective courses.
Other: I chose the BCA course because of my interest in computers. I wish they would offer more advanced coding languages and improve the campus a bit more. All the other stuff is good here.

The college has a good education system.
Placements: Placements are good. Many companies will come for a placement drive. Many have been selected in the placement drive and secured their first job in fields such as HRM, marketing, sales, and digital marketing. However, it ultimately depends on your skills, confidence, and the way you communicate.
Infrastructure: Classrooms are spacious. There’s proper ventilation, and hygiene is maintained in the washrooms too. We have a library, and it's very useful. Wi-Fi is only for the staff, not for students. There are science labs, an electronics lab, a mathematics lab, and a computer lab. There's also a canteen; overall, the infrastructure is good.
Faculty: Literally, it's not like other colleges. Teachers will completely finish the syllabus, do revisions, conduct 2 preparatory exams, and 2 internals. It's affiliated with Bangalore University, so the question paper will be from there. Teachers are very supportive and knowledgeable.
Other: I chose BBA, and I love the subjects offered. There's a sports meet and departmental fests like Management Saptah, Book Cafe, quizzes, and whatnot. A good college for studious students.

Infrastructure: Don’t know about hostel, but friends are staying, and it is like a pure jail, no freedom. Also, the infrastructure as of now is very average. New buildings are not good. Currently, new buildings are constructed, but as of now, it’s very average.
Faculty: Faculty is just average. Teachers are somewhat helpful and somewhat qualified. Teaching quality is just average, and to be honest, students are not industry-ready by the time they pass out of the college. Needs improvement.
