Totally worth the money if students work hard.

Placements: Last year, the placements are not so good. The average package on campus is 6 LPA, and the highest is 27 LPA, but the highest package ever received by any student in this college is 1.2 CPA. The course from which students are getting these packages is the CSE (AI) branch.

The reality of Bennett University.

Placements: The placement rate for my course is 100%. However, the salary offered is very low. The highest salary is 8lpa and the lowest goes down to 2lpa. This is not what I expected after paying so much for the course.

Bennett University CSE - My unfiltered review.

Placements: Placements are pretty decent (for B.Tech CSE). The average package is also good. Big companies like Google, Microsoft, and Amazon come for placements, this can also be because of the connections (because of the Times Group), although in the end, it is all about the students.

University is not bad as you get exposure and will meet lots of great people too.

Placements: There are some on-campus placements but most of the students take off-campus placements as the package is good. Companies do come for full stack too. If you take part in hackathons and stuff, you might get an internship from there too, and joining tech clubs is also nice in the first year.

Mediocrity at its best, but not worth the money paid.

Placements: The percentage of students who got placed is much less than shown and advertised. According to me, hardly 40% of students get placed. The focused ones get a good salary package of 10 LPA. Internships do take place, but again students here are not very serious about it.
