My time is going well in college.
Placements: The average placement rate is 75 to 90 percent across batches. The average salary package ranges between 4.4 LPA and 5 LPA, and top offers reach up to 12.5 LPA to 15 LPA. Major companies that come include TCS, Wipro, Reliance, HDFC Bank, ICICI Bank, Hero Cycle, etc.
Infrastructure: Approximately a 6-acre campus on Chandigarh Road features smart classrooms, seminar halls, and a central library. The infrastructure is good and also provides separate hostels for boys and girls, a hygienic cafeteria, and dedicated sports space for cricket, football, etc.
Faculty: My college has a mix of local Punjab students and foreigners from Nigeria. Faculty members are helpful and understanding. They really help with career building.
Other: Campus life is interactive and supportive, enriched by frequent industrial visits, cultural festivals, and sports events.

Disappointed with college culture, events, and campus life. You can consider it as a last option.
Placements: DA, Developer, and similar roles are offered majorly. Placements are decent but very limited. You can think of it as mass hiring companies, local startups, or local firms. An average package of up to 6 LPA can be expected. Only 2 or 3 students can expect packages up to 11–12 LPA in a batch size of 300 students.
Infrastructure: The overall infrastructure is decent, given the low fee structure of the college. But if you compare it to some big private universities, you cannot expect more. It mainly has hostels and classrooms. There is actually no place to hang out or spend time. There is no infrastructure for sports or gyms.
Faculty: In this college, a batch system similar to coaching classes like Super 60. Two or three teachers are decent in these batches, but other than that, you cannot expect experienced faculty members. The curriculum is kind of outdated. It is an affiliated college, so the syllabus and exam structure are decided by IKGPTU Jalandhar. Personally, I think they have one of the worst systems for exams.
Other: There is not much campus life compared to old reputed universities. There is no culture of societies or clubs. They also have a community-like thing called Unique U. You can join that community if you want, but it has its own benefits and losses. They claim it provides a corporate culture, but it is not completely true. Inside, you can lose your social access in college. There are other restrictions as well. However, there are some benefits, such as escaping academics because there are no classes in this community.

Overall, a good experience.
Placements: If we talk about placements and recruitment, some companies do visit and take some students, but the rate is not so high. It is average. If you prepare well for the interviews, you can get a placement somewhere. But the placement package is very average.
Infrastructure: Classrooms are okay. Wi-Fi is available in all places. But the infrastructure is not so impressive, as the college is very old. Many places have not been renovated. No good canteen exists (there are 3 canteens, but the food we get is not impressive). A 400m ground is available, and there is also a gym. Hostels are not so impressive. Buildings and rooms look old, except for one hostel for first-year boys.
Faculty: Teachers are qualified and teach well. The curriculum, as we know, is not decided by the college itself, so that is not a problem. The semester exams are not so tough. They are average-hard, and you can easily pass well if you study only a few days before the examination.

Supportive faculty, good infrastructure, and decent placement opportunities.
Placements: Around 70-80% of students from the IT course get placed every year. The average package is around 5-7 LPA, while higher packages go much higher. Top recruiters include TCS, Infosys, EPAM, and Cognizant. Roles include software developer, data analyst, and QA engineer.
Infrastructure: The college has good infrastructure with modern classrooms, computer labs, and a library. Our campus is Wi-Fi-enabled. We also have medical facilities and a sports ground. Extra-curricular activities make the campus environment comfortable and student-friendly. The hostel is clean and secure.
Faculty: Faculty members are qualified and helpful. They are supportive. The curriculum covers important IT subjects and provides practical exposure through labs and projects. Semester exams are of moderate difficulty, and students who attend classes regularly and prepare well can score good marks.
Other: I chose this course because of my interest in technology and software development. The college organises technical events, workshops, and cultural fests that help students improve their skills.

Decent college with good faculty and a positive learning environment.
Placements: Around 60-70% of students got placed last year, as I heard from the students. The highest package was around 50 LPA, back in 2019. The average package is around 6 LPA, varying across different branches. So the placements are somewhat decent. One can easily get placements here.
Infrastructure: This college was established in 1954, so the college is very old, and the same can be said for the infrastructure. But there have been improvements, and the IT department got renovated recently. The rest of the college departments are still like old buildings.
Faculty: The exams are pretty moderate, which one can easily clear by putting in moderate effort. Most of the topics in the exams usually come from the lectures. Courses here are somewhat relevant, and one may need to put in effort on their own to become industry-ready.
Other: The reason I chose this college is that its tuition fee charges are very generous. It is situated very close to my home, and I chose ECE because of the rising demand for EV semiconductors and also because of my interest in it.
