Absolutely satisfied with the faculty and placement.
Placements: 100 percent of students got placed. The highest package is 6 LPA and the average package is 4 LPA. Recruiting companies are Torrent Pharma, Mankind, and Morepen. An internship depends on the student. The placement cell of the department is very good and works properly for providing good placement.
Infrastructure: Classrooms are well-equipped with a projector and Wi-Fi. Labs are properly functioning and have all the equipment and chemicals. The hostel has good infrastructure, and the quality of food in the mess is good. In hostel there is a proper medical facility and space for indoor games.
Faculty: Faculty of department is experienced and has good behaviour. The faculty-to-student ratio in the department is good. The course curriculum is relevant and makes students ready for the industry. Exams in college are not very difficult and the passing criteria are 50 percent.
Other: I chose this course because I have an interest in drug manufacturing and pharma industry.

The Shimla campus of Himachal Pradesh University.
Placements: The core placement of the civil branch is very much limited. The highest package is somewhere between 9 LPA to 10 LPA. The average package is 4 LPA to 5 LPA. Most of the students prefer off-campus internships and placements. NALCO and L&T are some regular companies that come for placements. The roles offered are site engineer, junior engineer, etc.
Infrastructure: Although it is a government campus, the size of the campus is smaller than that of the other private engineering colleges. The campus provides Wi-Fi but at a basic speed. The labs are okay but the maintenance is very low. The classrooms are generic. The library is useful it is open most of the time. The hostel affordability is quite a problem because there are limited seats in hostels.
Faculty: The faculty members are academically very intelligent and always helpful to every student. The course curriculum is quite relevant and it helps students to improve their skill set to a certain level. The semester exams mostly focus on the university courses and it is somewhat difficult for those who take academics for granted.
Other: If you get enrolled for civil engineering, start preparing for GATE and other exams because it provides a good atmosphere for those kinds of exams.

Review of UIT Shimla from a student.
Placements: Only a handful of students, around seven, get selected from Civil and Electrical Engineering. However, if you are opting for CSE or IT, almost all students get placed, except a few. It is mainly a college for IT and CSE professions. The highest package is around 14 LPA, and the lowest is around 4 LPA. Companies like TCS, Wipro, and some local brands recruit students. Around 11–15% of students get internships if they apply. I cannot think of any top roles from my branch, but most students from Civil or Electrical either prepare for government exams or join family businesses in these fields.
Infrastructure: The college has a single building with all the branches and very little lab equipment. The classrooms are average, and the HPU library is a national-level library, which is a positive point. There is no hostel and nearly no campus other than HPU. The food quality in Shimla is worst. I do not understand why there is no good food available there.
Faculty: Faculty members are helpful and knowledgeable. The quality of teaching is good for most of them. The exams are of moderate difficulty, neither too tough nor too easy. Most students get good grades according to themselves. The course curriculum is relevant. Most of the time, classes are given priority for practical lessons, although some teachers prefer theory.
Other: I wish the college had a bigger campus, its own hostel, and better facilities. Events like Utkarsh and others are the best in Shimla and are the highlight of the year.

Review for Bachelor's of Vocational Studies in Hospitality and Tourism Management.
Placements: Students got internships in such brands as IHCL, ITC, The MS group, Club Mahindra, Oberoi, Radisson, etc. The experience led them on a journey of becoming the upcoming hoteliers and probably the leaders they deserve to become one day after all this training.
Infrastructure: The infrastructure is good but it could be better and the campus is very small and even the auditorium does not accommodate all the students in any special event. As a B.Voc student I notice that there is no such practical lab where you can learn practically and going to a hotel as a trainee who doesn't even have any idea about how to do things practically.
Faculty: Teachers are very helpful, very supportive, and knowledgeable. The course makes students ready for the industry because of the industrial exposure they get in their training. This is a job-oriented course, and there is no pressure for theory, though you do have to complete the assignments on time.
Other: I chose this because it was a career-oriented course and the best thing about this course is the exposure you get from your internships.

Our college does not provide best opportunities for students in placements.
Placements: Students got placed from 20 to 30 percent. The highest package is around 4 LPA, and the lowest 1 LPA. The average package offered in my course is around 1.5 LPA. I don't know the company exactly. The percentage of students who got internships from our course is around 50% or less.
Infrastructure: The facilities and infrastructure are available in our course or department. We have good Wi-Fi and a good AI/ML lab. Classrooms are good. Our department also has libraries. The hostel quality is perfect. They have clean toilets, a clean hostel and mess also. The quality of the hostel is perfect. The food is also good. Medical facilities are not perfect.
Faculty: Teachers are helpful, qualified, and knowledgeable. Teaching quality is good. The course curriculum makes students ready for the industry, but students also have to work hard by themselves also. The semester exam are average, not too difficult. Pass percentage is like 40%.

Great campus and infrastructure, but bad transport facilities and weak placements.
Placements: My course B.Sc. Hons Microbiology is a 4-year programme. There 12 students in my class. As for package, the placement center is quite weak for my course, so I am not sure. Getting an internship is as simple as getting a letter of recommendation from one of the teachers and submitting it to your desired institute for an internship. The university plays no role in it more than. Once you graduate from this course, you can go into research or join pharma companies, clinical practices, or food quality services.
Infrastructure: The infrastructure is quite amazing, with almost all the necessary equipment and is very comfortable for me. Classrooms can be upgraded a little bit for better teaching and learning, but they are good as they are. About Wi-Fi, library, and labs - I have no complaints. All these are easily accessible and are mostly well-maintained. The mess isn't really that good, as we very rarely get 'Tasty' food. I was actually once hospitalized after a ' special dinner' they made on an occasion. Medical facilities are good. For sports and games, I'm satisfied.
Faculty: Most of the teachers are qualified and amazing, with a few exceptions. Overall, the teaching quality is good. Course curriculum is relevant. It might make students industry-ready, but only with good self practice. The semester exams are a joke, with absolutely easy questions and online exams in which students really easily pass. The university is trying out new things every semester to prevent that from happening, but people always find a way. ( I would prefer offline exams ). Since the exams are really easy, almost everyone passes quite easily with good marks.
