Absolutely satisfied with the faculty members and infrastructure.

Placements: I am from Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj University, pursuing the BCA course. There are a total of 200 students in my course. The package of the course is not more expensive. Top companies like Infosys, etc., hire students. Many students got internships from the college. Many roles are also offered in my course, like AI with the best projects.

Never take admission here.

Placements: I am deeply disappointed with the placement opportunities provided by Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj University. Despite promises made during admission regarding good corporate tie ups and regular placement drives the reality is far from expectations. The placement cell is inactive and the promises made during admission about 100 percent placement are completely false. No soft skill training interview prep or resume building sessions are provided.

I advise students not to take admission here. The atmosphere of the college is very bad.

Placements: As a student of this college, I feel it is important to share an honest review of the placement scenario here. Unfortunately, the placement situation is far from what is promised during admission. The college tends to exaggerate the number and quality of companies visiting the college. In reality, only a handful of companies come for recruitment.

Faculty members are very supportive and helpful.

Placements: Many companies recruit students from the college like Axis Bank, Wipro, Tech Mahindra, etc. The highest package is 8 LPA. It has vast options in the placement cell, and the placement cell helps us with placements. It gives better opportunities and gives valuable knowledge to pass through every interview.

Average students can take admission. The faculty is good but needs so much improvements.

Placements: Till now I haven't seen any kind of placement in our college. The college does not provide placements. It was established in 2018, so the college is not famous. They provide a platform for learning skills by IIT teachers and after that, we have to give an exam and we will get a certificate for the course. All kinds of IT work and development roles are provided.
