    Review of Harcourt Butler Technical University.
    Placements: Placements are not good for MCA branch in this college. Only around 20% of the students were placed, and the average package offered is around 3 LPA. There is no internship from college, and the companies also don't visit the campus to offer internships. There is a placement cell in the college, but there is no support for MCA students.
    Infrastructure: The infrastructure of our college is improving after it has become a university. The campus is Wi-Fi enabled, but only 35 Mbps data is provided per day, and I think that's not enough nowadays. The building is under renovation and maintenance. The library is good. Medical facilities are available but are not good. Labs on the campus are good.
    Faculty: Teachers are good and helpful. Quality of teaching is good. There are enough number of teachers for the course. I didn't get any industry exposure. Core faculty members teach the subjects. The study environment is good. Classes are conducted properly. There are strict rules regarding attendance, and the students have to maintain a minimum of 75% attendance.

    Satisfactory but can be improved.
    Placements: In the year 2019 around 60% people secured placements. The highest package offered was 11lac per annum and the lowest was 6 lac per annum. The company which offered the highest package was mediatek and ibm. Many reputed companies visit the college each year and if one has skills, he/she can obviously get placed in one of the reputed companies.
    Infrastructure: College has well-equipped labs and classrooms are also pretty good considering that the infrastructure is 100 years old. The facilities and the food in the hostel are satisfactory to an extent. Food is prepared keeping in mind the hygiene and health of the students. We are given four meals a day. The security of the girls hostel is also good.
    Faculty: The teachers are well qualified and helpful. Teaching methods are also fine. There are mid semester and end semester exams but if the teacher wants they can take some extra tests also for teacher assessment. The course curriculum for sure make students industry ready as it is designed keeping in mind the practical knowledge that we need.
