Overall good college, but placement support could be better.
Placements: 38 percent of students got placed. The highest is 64 LPA, the average is 4.6 LPA, and the lowest is 2.2 LPA. Major recruiting companies are TCS, Infosys, Wipro, Cognizant, Accenture, and Deloitte. 1 percent of students got internships through drives. Roles offered are Data Analyst, SDE, and Web Developer.
Infrastructure: It has facilities like high-quality labs with all the required equipment, high-speed Wi-Fi, and classrooms with good projectors, coolers, and a library that contains all types of books needed for research. The quality of hostels is mid. The food tastes very bad, and the canteens are providing overpriced food, but with good medical facilities, and sports are good.
Faculty: The teachers are well qualified and have all the knowledge required to teach and make us learn, and the quality of teaching is actually average. The course curriculum is relevant. They make us learn the latest courses on a good platform, which makes us industry-ready. The difficulty level of semester exams is mid, and the pass percentage is 90 percent.
Other: The course has been in demand in recent days, and the best thing about the course is that it's easy to learn and has a lot of demand. The projects are listed. Events are mostly very boring, and the campus crowd is very high, which is one of the worst things about CU, and the scholarship is very useful for poor students.

Really good infrastructure. The faculty is good.
Placements: Nearly 80 percent of students are placed. The known package of one of my senior friends is nearly 35 LPA. Companies like IBM, Microsoft, and a lot of mass hiring companies recruit here. A lot of people got their internships, approximately 50 percent in the 2nd semester itself. Roles include AI engineer, data scientist, and data analyst.
Infrastructure: Completely Wi-Fi campus. Classrooms are very good and well-equipped. The library is very good. Hostels are top notch. The variety of food is not much, but the taste is not bad. All facilities are available. Sports can be played in hostels, and more indoor sports are being added. Gyms are also available.
Faculty: The teaching quality is nice, and their notes are uploaded online, so they are very good. It makes the students industry-ready. The mid-semester exams are quite easy, but the end-semester exams are a bit harder. The end-semester exams test your understanding of the subject, but the mid-semester can be done easily.
Other: I wanted to pursue my career in AI and Data Science, so I chose this course. The university has a lot of fests and provides a lot of scholarships.

College is not so bad at all.
Placements: About 90 percent of students are placed. The highest package depends on student knowledge, and the lowest is 2.5 LPA. Top recruiting companies are IBM, Google, Amazon, etc. CU offers many internship opportunities for students. CU organizes many programs, seminars, and certifies the students to help grow their career journey.
Infrastructure: CU offers high-speed Wi-Fi, which works all the time and is also available in the labs. Labs are modern with modern digital equipment. A full educational environment is provided. The quality of hostel food is better initially, but over time, the quality has declined.
Faculty: Teachers at CU are very helpful, qualified, well-educated, and full of knowledge. Teaching quality is good, but there is not sufficient time for the semester syllabus. The course curriculum is mostly relevant. Semester exams are not very difficult, but it depends on how you prepare.
Other: I chose the course BE CSE (IOT & AI) because of its future demand.

Review of CU CSE 2027. Go for it.
Placements: Placements in our college are above average. Most big MNCs visit the campus, such as Capgemini, Cognizant, Wipro, Samsung, and Josh, among others. Most companies offer packages between 6–8 LPA, with mass hiring at 4.5 LPA. We can sit for placements from the 6th semester.
Infrastructure: We are provided with all facilities like AC classrooms with projectors and Wi-Fi. Labs have all the equipment and the latest software installed for good practical exposure. Hostel facilities are available. Hostels are allotted on a first-come, first-served basis. The hostels are maintained regularly and have study rooms.
Faculty: Teachers are very supportive in the first year when you need them the most. Then you figure it out on your own. Teachers are there to guide and mentor. They focus more on practical knowledge than theory. Exams are not that hard, and the syllabus is covered before exams.

My college experience in a few words.
Placements: As I am in 3rd semester, I don't know much about real-time placement data, but I can make some points based on my experience, views, and what I have seen. Top companies like IBM, Adobe, Microsoft, Amazon, Google, and more visit our college. The role and the amount of the package are all dependent on the company. The highest package is 54 LPA, the average is around 10, and the lowest is never disclosed. Students also get internships in these companies, plus additional companies offer internships separately, and the stipend is totally dependent on the student and the company.
Infrastructure: I have not opted for the hostel facility, but according to students living there, there are 4 and 5-seater rooms. The food is not very good. They serve one type of food with different names. About the infrastructure, we have huge, clean libraries, computer labs, and classrooms equipped with whiteboards and projectors. We can access free Wi-Fi anytime we want.
Faculty: Teachers are very helpful and friendly, not just in class but also after their class times. They have good knowledge about their subject and teach very well, except for some. The course curriculum is so well designed according to future industry needs and is easy to understand for every student. Semester exams are neither very easy nor very difficult. They are well designed according to students' understanding ability.
Other: There are various kinds of events happening almost every day, like hackathons, workshops, events, and many more. Students can participate in any of these and can get a chance to explore and connect with other people. As the crowd is very large, we can connect with anyone we want. We can find every kind of person inside the college. We can also participate in any sports or other extracurricular activities. The campus infrastructure is very huge, quiet, and peaceful. To join the college, there are scholarship opportunities of up to 100%.
