    The happiest environment to study.
    Placements: We did not require any help from the placement team for finding out internships because it was a busy city with enormous opportunities, and looking for candidates to work with them. Yet, colleges find a lot of impressive companies with the best package results like average package above 5 LPA to 8 LPA only.
    Infrastructure: It was a private institution that was established more than 50 years ago, still looks like a new one with frequent renovations carried out. Our college offered post-graduate and undergraduate courses in various specialisations like humanities, arts, and science.
    Faculty: Professors were highly exposed to the industrial sectors which should be useful for the students to grow and connect with industrial people and their updated technologies. Professors were the incharge of academic results, so they evaluated the papers more liberally to make them on the safe side.

    Review of Kristu Jayanti College.
    Placements: The highest salary package from our college is around 14 LPA. The average salary package is 6.5 LPA. Almost 79% of students get placed from our college every year. Students get appointed in many IT companies like HCL, Oracle, Amazon, and Cognizant as project managers, web developers, cloud architects, etc.
    Infrastructure: Our college provides all the necessary resources that a student wants. Hostel rooms are very clean and have attached bathrooms. Other facilities like modern classrooms, computer labs, sports courts, lecture halls, big auditorium, seminar halls, high-speed Wi-Fi across the campus are also provided by our college.
    Faculty: Faculty members of our college are very knowledgeable and helpful. Students require atleast 78% attendance to sit in the exam. Teachers also hold doubt sessions before exams to solve students' exam-related problems. As a result, every year almost 88% of students easily pass the examination with good marks.

    My honest review about my college.
    Placements: Each student can easily have 2-3 offers from big IT giants. Aricent and Nagarro are bulk hiring companies. Lots of our alumni make it to Adobe, Microsoft, Amazon, etc. Most of the students here are now working with big names in the IT industry. So, we can say that once you get admission here, you get your future settled.
    Infrastructure: I stay on rent. Hostel is quite good as said by my classmates. There are single as well as shared rooms. Food is not that great. I don't know about the fee structure.
    Faculty: It is the toughest course I have ever attended or heard of someone. Every mark earned there in 3 years is hard-earned. Professors don't allow to cheat or copy internet-available assignments. Each semester has 5-6 subjects. Each subject have 100 marks. Out of this major semester exam holds 60 marks, while 20 marks are from internal exams, and 20 marks are based on assignments. Total marks are 3000 in all 6 semesters. Create a lot of interest in subjects. While the department's faculty members set high targets for students. They assign very difficult assignments to students every semester. The course is quite complex. But the teaching methodology adopted here focuses on both practical and theoretical aspects.

    Really good eco-friendly atmosphere, infrastructure, and facilities.
    Placements: Actually, I am graduate from Acharya Institute of Graduate Studies. In my batch, there were around 160 students. When coming to placements students were very disappointed. Only 20 to 30% of students were only placed through college placements. Average package offered was 3.6 LPA. Top recruiting companies for my course were Capgemini, TCS, Wipro, Tech Mahindra, etc. In my knowledge, none of them got internships in companies through college placement. Top roles offered were software developer, software engineer, business development representative, cloud engineer, etc.
    Infrastructure: Facilities and infrastructure they offered were very nice. They provided unlimited Wi-Fi. The labs were fully occupied with computers and everything we needed for our practical session. Classrooms were smart. Library was so nice and a very charming place. I didn't stay in a hostel, I was in PG. Because hostel fees cost more than PG. Most of the students leave the hostel after 1 year. They supported sports and games well like football, cricket, volleyball, athletics with a different place for each.
    Faculty: Teachers were okay, qualified, knowledgeable, and helpful but not much. Because they had to be a little friendly to students. The course curriculum was relevant. But I don't think I will make the students industry-ready. Because after this, they had only theoretical knowledge, not practical. The semester exams were quite easy. You just need 40% in each subject to pass.
    Other: I chose this course because I am interested in tech. After this course, we will get a job in the IT sector. I wish they would provide more practical sessions, so that students will be well-equipped for industry requirements. The main thing about Acharya was the Habba. An event that celebrates around several days. The event was so nice. Apart from studies, Acharya was 10/106.

    Review of Kristu Jayanti College.
    Placements: Out of 60 in our class, almost 20 students were placed (only 35 students went for placement) at GT, Goldman Sachs, KPMG, Indigo Airlines, etc. Almost 40 to 50% were placed in our class, 35 went for placement sessions and 20 got placed. There are campus interviews and selection and many senior students secured good placements. As for me, I am going to attend next year. The stipend related matters I would be able to furnish once I have passed through.
    Infrastructure: It was the toughest course I ever attended or heard of. Every mark earned there in 3 years is hard-earned. A lot to learn. Professors there set a very high benchmark for students. Industry-level assignments are done in the course curriculum. Professors are not allowed to heat or copy internet-available assignments. I am a daily scholar, and many of my friends stay in PGs, so I don't have any idea about the hostel and mess food, but there are many shops in the food court and outside the college also, and they provide good food. Every time it's overcrowded.
    Faculty: I have chosen this course because it provides students with amazing placements, it's affordable as its fee is Rs. 18,000 per annum, and it has an amazing coding culture. Teachers have completed PhDs. They are very good. All the exams are done timely and the curriculum is according to the latest coding guidelines. This college has notable alumni and has amazing network. Excellent faculty members try to deliver the maximum of their effort. There are also feedback sessions after each semester faculty members do their maximum because they will be kicked out if they don't get a good rating as feedback.
