That's why many students opt for higher studies in India or abroad, such as Ph.D. or postdoc, and a few get research assistant jobs.

College is okay, it depends on you whether you like it, overall it's good.
Placements: Placements are not that much but a good number of students are placed for a 3 LPA-4 LPA package and core companies don't visit that much compared to other colleges. Still, some companies visit and it's good if you get selected as a fresher but don't expect a very high salary.
Infrastructure: The new hostel is great. Mess food is also good. The college campus is also very spacious but the distance between the hostel and department is very big and it's kind of hectic to attend classes, especially during the summer when bikes are allowed on campus. Lab facilities are also being provided.
Faculty: Specifically for the engineering course the faculty is good and the curriculum is okay. The exams are held on a regular basis. Faculty here in the engineering department are highly qualified and have very good teaching experience. The course is good.

University is good and satisfied with the facilities.
Placements: There are no maximum placements, but education is good. Placements are too low so that's why their NAC is B+. They are not too old college, that's why they have no placements in more departments. Psychology department has good placements. So if you are interested in that department you can join.
Infrastructure: Infrastructure of the college and hostel are good compared to all colleges. Hostel is too good but there is very hot temperature. Hostel facility is good. Room is big. In one room 6 members are there. Hostel facility is provided for all students.
Faculty: Teachers are good in nature. They are helping other students. They can help with the study. Exams are strictly conducted. If you are studying properly, then you can pass the exam because it's not an easy paper, you have to study for the exam. Teachers are generally well-qualified and knowledgeable in their subjects. Most have M.Tech or Ph.D. degrees and good command of the core concepts. They explain topics clearly using both theoretical and practical approaches.

My Review of this college.
Placements: Placement cell of our college is very good, but it is limited to a few courses. Very few companies visit for Science courses, which is obvious as Science students have more options through entrance or after post-graduation. Placement cell for humanities and commerce students is performing quite well, with an average package of around 5 LPA and the highest up to 15 LPA. Some companies that approached Science students are TCL, Infosys, Wipro, eBay, Macleods, Cipla, Sun Pharma, etc. They offered a starting salary of 30,000 to 50,000. There is a 50 percent recruitment rate.
Infrastructure: Hostel facilities are really nice. 24/7 electricity and water are available, as well as other requirements like microwave, induction, fridge, washing machines, and geyser. Food is also hygienic and eatable.
Faculty: The faculty of the college is extremely knowledgeable, with years of experience, making them capable of handling the course very well and effectively. I really feel honored to have such lecturers as my mentors, who helped me in understanding the subjects. You will have to work hard on your own in some subjects, as the exams are pretty difficult. We have 4 semesters, and each semester has one exam and one lab test. Internal exams are also held in each semester. The exams are not very frequent, which I felt was appropriate. During the two years of the course, I had a good opportunity to study some great divisions of Physics, such as Mathematical Physics, Modern Physics, Mechanics, Optics, Thermal Physics, and Electromagnetic Theory. The curriculum is well divided into different units, so that every aspect of the subject is clear to the student. Subject-wise, Optics deals with the behaviour and various phenomena associated with light.

Punctual in everyday programs.
Placements: The maximum opportunities approaching the college for recruitment were financial assistant, BDA, and accounting executive. Maximum students choose to work in the role of BDA due to higher pay, and they were usually paid above INR 3.6 LPA. As of 2023, 63% of students got placed in various MNCs and moderate companies.
Infrastructure: College fixed several teams and some responsibilities, so each of the team do something at their best like arranging some special events, webinars, etc. But they failed to communicate this with one another which created a lot of confusion at the end. Other than this college was so punctual in their everyday programs.
Faculty: Teachers always keep them away from the problems, constantly flying away from the zone of questions. They were short tempered, with lots of self-doubt in delivering the classes. Teachers even share the simpler sessions in complex way and made us think like it's more complicated.

Review of Central University of Karnataka.
Placements: Students of this course are new admissions, and the course is also new so currently there is no information about placements. Companies like TCS come here. Course is good. The faculty does not provide any internship opportunities, and we have to do it ourselves.
Infrastructure: Infrastructure of the hostel is average. Wi-Fis and CCTVs are currently being attached, and security issues are there. Mess food is also average, and mostly South Indian food is served. The ground here is very huge, and you will get to play football, cricket, table tennis, kabbadi, badminton, and volleyball. Our college has 650 acres of land. Library is also there where we get many books to study.
Faculty: It is a new course, hence the faculty members are below average. Semester exams are average in difficulty. Course content is relevant but old and needs to be updated. Teaching quality of the faculty needs to be improved as the subject requires experienced teachers which is lacking in this university. Although courses like EE and ECE have a better faculty in terms of engineering as it has been almost a decade of operation.

I recommend taking admission in this university.
Placements: Placements are not very high, but the education is good. Placements are low, which is why the NAAC rating is B+. The college is relatively new, so some departments do not have many placements yet. The Psychology department has good placements, so if you are interested in that department, you can join.
Infrastructure: The college infrastructure and hostel are good, compared to other colleges, it is good. The hostel is very good, but the temperature is often very hot. Hostel facilities are good. The rooms are big, with six members in each room. Hostel facilities are provided for all students.
Faculty: Teachers are good-natured and helpful to students. They assist with studies. Exams are conducted strictly. If you study properly, you can pass the exam because the paper is not easy and you have to study.
Other: Best university for admission if you are not selected elsewhere.
