Review of Guru Nanak Institute of Management and Technology.
Placements: I have not yet completed my degree, so I can move to the placement level. I am in my second year, but I have seen a lot of companies reach out on the placement day. The package offered varies from 1.5 LPA to 4-5 LPA. Rest, I do not have further knowledge yet.
Infrastructure: The college provides minimal facilities, such as a computer lab and a hardware lab. There is a medical room inside the campus. There is no Wi-Fi for students. Classrooms are clean and nice. There is no hostel in this institution, and it is mainly local here. There is a canteen. The food served is decent, not good, and not bad.
Faculty: Teachers are quite qualified. The majority of teachers are PhD holders in their respective subjects, which is a positive thing. Some teachers are nice and helpful, while others are arrogant in their position. Semester exams are moderate. They are also easy and doable.

Good infrastructure, Good teachers.
Placements: Don't know currently as I am in 2nd semester. Placements are solid? About 80% get placed. The highest package hit 15LPA, average is 6LPA. Big names like Amazon and Wipro visit. Around 70% land internships by 3rd year, mostly in teach and marketing roles. It? S a pretty reliable track record.
Infrastructure: The labs and Wi-Fi are actually great, and the library has every book I? Ve needed. Hostel life is okay rooms are decent, but mess food is definitely hit-or-miss. Canteen snacks and the sports complex are the real highlights here. Solid experience, enjoying.
Faculty: Teachers are qualified and supportive, but the curriculum feels stuck in the past. It doesn't quite make you industry-ready. Semester exams are tough with a moderate pass rate. Good for theory, but needs more hands-on practical work I found my subject syllabus profounding.
Other: I? M in the 2024 batch. I chose this course for its strong reputation. The campus fests and crowd are amazing, but I wish the scholarship process was faster. Good connectivity and plenty of extracurricular!

It's upto you what you want.
Placements: As I'm in my first year, I don't know about the placements. As our seniors speak, mostly students are placed in different QA sectors or R&D sectors in the industry. Salary is given mostly between Rs. 30,000 and Rs. 35,000 per month. Some companies like Cipla, Mankind Aurobindo Pharma offer internships.
Infrastructure: Infrastructure is good. Wi-Fi is working on the authorised Laptop. Labs are spacious and have all the apparatus used in industry. Classrooms are good to have air conditioning. There are two hostels for boys and one hostel for girls inside the campus. Mess food is average. Non-vegetarian food is not allowed on campus.
Faculty: Faculty members are good, they are highly educated and experienced. All facilities have done their post-graduation. The course curriculum is good, it makes us ready to explore a new world. There are two semesters in a year, and each semester has two sessions, which are conducted by the college.

Good college to experience.
Placements: Students in my course are placed according to their interests if they want to pursue their studies further. They can, and if they want placement, they can take the TPP subject for Rs. 4,000 or Rs. 5,000 for being placed. The average package is, I think, 4 LPA to 5 LPA. The best thing about our department is that we can also sit in pharmacy placements and in marketing placements, which gives us a chance. They provide internships that are paid, in college only, and unpaid, also that are linked to organisations like PBTI, thank you.
Infrastructure: Department's infrastructure and facilities are good, there is Wi-Fi, labs are there, classrooms for different sections are there, library is there, on other hand, the food in hostel is average, infrastructure is good, canteen is good, medical facilities are good, sports and games are genuinely good.
Faculty: Teachers are very helpful and well-educated. Teachers teach students about semester exams. They provide PYQs and everything required to clear semester exams. They are really helpful for students to clear their exams easily, they solve doubts, and also help weak students.

College is good for studies and studious students who like only to study.
Placements: Approximately 95 percent of students get placements. The package offered is slightly low. Companies like Cipla, etc., visit the college for placements. The average salary given to students is Rs. 18,000 per month. College has a placement ratio, and students who have a good CGPA get better placements.
Infrastructure: The infrastructure is good. Sports activities are negligible. Labs are also very good. The library is good too, but the college does not have a big campus. Teachers will impose a fine if we misbehave or do anything they don't like.
Faculty: Teachers are helpful and good. Some teachers are strict. Overall, they are good. Semester exams are slightly difficult. A minimum of 50 percent is needed to pass exams. There are three sessional exams, 2 are compulsory, and one is an improvement exam. Good marks will help us get good internal marks. Students need 80 percent attendance.
