A college has an outdated building that needs to be renovated with a high education.
Placements: Sanjauli College, Shimla Himachal Pradesh offers limited placement opportunities. We have a career counseling and placement cell, which guides us in each move and they are helpful. They guide us in career options and job placements through various government and private agencies.
Infrastructure: The infrastructure of the Sanjauli College is very outdated. Buildings need to be renovated, and they are very old. We have Wi-Fi on our campus which gives us 1 GB of data per day, and that's good for students for online studies. The college offers a basketball court and indoor games like table tennis, carrom, and badminton. A college contains a library which has around 1000s of books, newspapers, and magazines. We have a digital library for students to study digitally.
Faculty: There are around 80-90 teachers in our college of which more than 24 students are PhD holders. They are well-educated. They guide us in our tough times.
Other: Bachelor of Computer Application is a course with a duration of 3 years which includes 6 semesters, so I chose it. The fee for the course is Rs. 13,000 per year. Some registration charges are also there.

HPU is good, but the branches of HPU are not so good.
Placements: I did not get any placement. There is no placement maybe I might not even get a placement. I don't know about the package because if there is no placement then we won't get the package. No company came in front of me, I don't know how many students got internships. No role is offered in my college.
Infrastructure: Infrastructure is not so good. The main HPU is very good but our branch is not good. The classrooms are very small there is no smart class. The lab is not good. They teach us an old syllabus. There is no Wi-Fi. The library is not good. There is no hostel for BCA. There is no canteen in our college and there are no sports either.
Faculty: Teachers are good, but not so good. Teachers are well-educated. There is no placement. The student has to work hard himself. The structure is also nothing special. The semester exams are difficult, it is not that easy. The students pass the exam, but many students get compartment.
Other: I chose this course because I'm interested in computer applications. BCA is a good degree.

Zero exposure and low coding skills .
Placements: The computers in this college aren't good enough. Moreover, there are no placement opportunities provided by the college. If you want to do an internship, then you have to pay for it. You have to do self-study to get internship and placement opportunities in college.
Infrastructure: Very small campus. There is no canteen and medical facilities in college. There is not enough space inside the campus to do other physical activities. The college doesn't provide Wi-Fi for students. There are no smart classes inside the college. Rooms are very small.
Faculty: Some teachers are good but overall it's up to you because teachers can't give you that much help. You have to prepare by yourself to get some jobs in this industry. Because teachers only follow the syllabus which is not fit in today's times. Exams are easy.
Other: Atleast Upgrade computer hardware.
