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.

B.Tech in Electronics and Communication Engineering - Batch of 2028

3Placements4Infrastructure4Faculty3Crowd & Campus Life5Value for Money

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.

Master of Commerce (M.Com.) - Batch of 2023

4Placements3Infrastructure2Faculty3Crowd & Campus Life3Value for Money

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.

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.

B.Tech. in Computer Science and Engineering (Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning) - Batch of 2028

3.8

3Placements4Infrastructure3Faculty4Crowd & Campus Life5Value for Money

This university is the best for admission.

Placements: Although this course is new in this university, as previously there was a B.Sc. Computer Science and not B. Tech. There has been an average number of placements in B.Sc. Batch and B.Teach, the first batch is yet to be completed. This AI ML course has very interesting topics to learn.

Infrastructure: The facilities provided here, I would say, are average. New hostels are being made for newcomers, and Wi-Fi and CCTV facilities are also being provided. Other than that, the university is full of greenery (just not in the summer season). Classrooms are also equipped with working air conditioning and smart boards. Several games are being played here, and the most prominent are football and volleyball. The mess food is very bad. For the mess food, I would give a 1/5 rating as there is no cleanliness during preparation. The water issue is also there sometimes. We need to buy food.

Faculty: If I talk about the faculty of AI ML in particular, then it's not that good as this subject is new and more experienced teachers are required, which are not available here. Other than that, the course curriculum is very diverse but also outdated. The semester exams have an average to above-average difficulty, and according to that, the papers are checked.

Other: I chose this course just for the sake of getting a degree from a government college with computer science. Although the course is helping me a lot in learning new things, it has a high scope in the near future. The things I wish to improve in my course are the syllabus updation. We are still studying the same old syllabus, and theory is being more focused than practical sessions. But the fests and events will not disappoint you, as there is always something going on in the university every 2 months.

A developing campus and a good central university for B.Tech.

Placements: Companies like TCS and internship opportunities in Qspiders, Code Next are coming. There are no core companies currently taking placements. 20% of 7th sem have internships through the college CSR drive of Qspiders. More companies are willing to come every growing year.

Infrastructure: Wi-Fi is very good and is available everywhere. Sometimes there'll be a technical issue, but it will get rectified in 24 hrs. Labs are fully equipped and were newly built especially for B.Tech students. The library has everything. Even though the mess is below average, the canteen is average. Good medical and sports facilities.

Faculty: All teachers are good and know the subject. Teaching quality is also very good. Everything is course curriculum relevant only. Semester exams are hard, but not that hard. It does make students industry-ready if we use all the facilities provided. Pass marks are 30-40.

Other: I chose this as I was interested in the core. I wish that they would include more core-related subjects. The campus is filled with some kind of fest and events every week. Scholarship can be applied for. It's a huge campus and they're are a lot of extracurricular activities like music, yoga, sports, etc.
